Student of the Week - Nick

This week we were lucky enough to attend a Futsal tournament in Balclutha. Nick was an excellent member of his team and showed terrific fair play skills throughout the day. He was also a star with his soccer skills and he scored lots of goals for his team. His team made it to the semi-finals, which was an awesome effort. Congratulations on representing yourself and the school with pride Nick!

Shining Star - Nick

We are so proud of Nick - he is the first shining star for 2017. Nick was awarded the shining star trophy because he is always kind and considerate of others. He sees that people need help and he offers to help them. He represents our school so well when he is on sporting and cultural trips and lots of people have noticed this. These are citizenship skills and values that our school hold very true, so it is lovely to see Nick being recognised. Keep up the amazing work Nick - we are very proud of you!!!

This week Oscar has shown how important attitude is to making improvements. It's great to see him loving reading, and he is making great progress because of it. Keep up the fantastic work Oscar!

Hundertwasser Self Portrait

As a part of our art unit we also studied the artist Hundertwasser. 

His portraits had big round faces that took up a large portion of the page.

They had large eyes shaped like a rugby ball.

These portraits have no necks. 

Hundertwasser also use large blocks of bright colours. 

We loved creating these self-portraits, using pastels.
