Tough Guy and Gal Challenge

What an awesome event. 40 of our kids from Western Heights participated in the inaugural tough guy and gal challenge. They braved the mud and the cold and as you will see in the slideshow above, they all had a ball. Every single one of our kids completed the course and were an absolute credit to the school and themselves. Listening to how excited they all were afterwards definitely made the trip worthwhile. A special thanks must go to all the parents who turned up and supported the kids as well.

League for Libraries Warriors Competition

Earlier this year room 23 entered a writing competition. We had to create unique stories that included the Warriors rugby league team. Fortunately for us we placed in the top eight out of 40 other schools a great effort! Our prize consisted of being driven to the Henderson Library in a flash coach and then meeting three of the Warriors, Ben Henry, Albert Vete and Jerome Ropati. The Warriors took the time to complete some reading activities with us and also signed autographs for every single person in our class. When we were leaving the Warriors gave us all a prize pack that had two books, a beeping bookmark (that our teacher is already sick of) and some other goodies. All in all it was an awesome day.
