Hi Everyone

I met with my list of very eager monitors this afternoon….Annie D-W, Lily V, Sarah R, Sach A, David W, Cade H, Jackson A, Ruby C, Jesvi J, Kate S, Joseph S, Jaydon I, Archilleas M and Henry R. They have been very creative in their thinking and I am positive over the year you will see many changes.

As you are all aware the sports shed is not accessible for students to borrow any equipment over the next couple of weeks. The door is blocked due to grounds works and the area is out of bounds. But my eager monitors have come up with a plan….

Each lunch time the on duty Sports Shed Monitors will wheel a trolley out in front of the resource centre. Students will be able to borrow a limited amount of equipment, some is better than none.

Once the sports shed is operational they will spend their thinking time on revisiting what resources we have to borrow already and how this can be maximized. One of their suggestions is running some mini sports competitions during lunch times etc. Watch this space………

Please remember the correct borrowing procedures and the expectations of respecting all equipment.

Well done Colonel Light Gardens.
