Language Arts

Welcome, we are back to another busy week in Language Arts!

Mock Mediation Grand Finalists!

This week our Mock Mediators attended the 2022 Mock Mediation Grand Final held in the city. Thank you to Mrs Jarvis for stepping in to coach, as our regular coach took up an exchange opportunity in Florida, USA. We were announced runners up with a two mark margin. The girls received pins and a trophy.

Festival of Speech

This week we had our final Festival of Speech evaluation meeting. Schools were most complimentary on our girls’ friendliness and helpfulness in escorting visitors around the campus. Many commented on our lovely grounds. Next year’s festival will be hosted by Ravenswood.

A final thank you to all who made the Festival a success. There are still some lolly bags in my office. I will be there most lunch times, so please drop in to claim yours if you assisted!

All preliminary IDC rounds have now been completed and we are awaiting news of teams who have progressed to finals rounds.

The first of the finals rounds will be held tomorrow from Pymble, and all students involved will have been emailed.
