Open Evening:<\/span><\/h4>Thanks to the parents who have confirmed that their child can help out at our open evening this Thursday. The children involved need to be at our new hub, accessed via Beckenham Park, by 6:55 on Thursday, in school uniform. We should be all wrapped up by 8:30. Please collect your child from the hub at the end of the evening. <\/span>

<\/span>

Home Learning:<\/span><\/h4>By now your child should be in the midst of their Cantamath project home learning, if they are in Jarred or Nicky's maths class. This is due next Friday, August 11th. If your child needs some support, we are here to help. Encourage them to ask us at school, or email. <\/span>

<\/span>

Ski Trip:<\/span><\/h4>We have just over two weeks until we head up Mt Hutt for the day on August 17th. Mt Hutt now has the student information and the bus has been triple checked! <\/span>

<\/span>The next task is to match up clothing with the children who need it. <\/span>If you offered to lend clothing, please name it and send it to school this week. If you asked for help to source clothing, but then manage to sort something, please let us know, as we have a long list of requests to fill. <\/span>

<\/span>On the day of the trip, children will need to be at school by 7am. We will be back between 5:30 and 6:00pm. <\/span>

<\/span>To transport the children we have booked one bus and have organised a number of cars. All drivers have 4WD vehicles and are experienced with driving on mountain roads. If you have a preference for the transport of your child, car or bus, please email one of us by Friday. We will be sorting transport lists next week. <\/span>

Thanks from World Vision:<\/span><\/h4>Harley from World Vision came to see us today. He showed us how our fundraising is making a difference to the children who have escaped from Syria, to the safety of Jordan. Beckenham raised over $2000. What an awesome way to show that 'We make a difference'!<\/span>

Winter Sport Tournament:<\/span><\/h4>
Yesterday, we braved the mud at Hagley Park to compete in our Zone\u2019s Winter Tournament. Our winter sport teams played games against St Martins, Hillview, Opawa, Waltham, Steiner and Thorrington in football, netball and hockey. Games were fast and furious 5 minute halves and gave our children the opportunity to play many different teams, none of whom we would usually verse during winter sport. <\/span><\/span><\/div><\/span><\/a>
Congratulations to our Year 7\/8 hockey team, coached and managed by Jenni Adams, who qualified for the Canterbury\u2019s Winter Tournament on the 24th of August. <\/span><\/span><\/div>

A huge thank you to all the parents who offered their time, enthusiasm and expertise to manage teams and referee games. <\/span><\/span><\/div>
