Local News ANZAC Day at Ringrose P.S. Anzac Day is commemorated on the th 25 of April. The letters of A.N.Z.A.C stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

The Commonwealth of Australia became a federation in 1901. However many believe that Anzac Day represents the day when Australia truly became a nation. We remember the spirit of the Anzacs and we honour their memory every year by saying these words; courage the Anzac troops managed to secure the outpost of Lone Pine. They were able to fend off the Turks through fierce trench warfare. The conditions were horrendous. Letters home described dysentery, frostbite, periods of hunger, lack of water, lice and rats. Through it all they showed mateship and courage in the midst of adversity. Hospital ships anchored off shore received the many wounded. . Lest We Forget Harmony Day- By Stephen 6M The culture of Australia has developed over time. People, historical events and the natural environment have made us who we are today. Australia is a culturally diverse nation. Different foods, beliefs and interests add to Australia’s cultural diversity. Australians eat a combination of foods from many different countries. New visitors have introduced new kinds of foods and many international foods which are now common in Australia. For example; Japan-Sushi, Italy-Pasta, India-Curry, Lebanon-Kebab, South-East Asia-Stir Fry and Jasmine Rice. The main reason for Harmony Day is to promote a positive message that Australians can build a peaceful and safe society and to be able to celebrate their differences. Harmony Day first began in 1999 and is now held on the 21 st of March each year. This year Ringrose had a variety of events. These included Chinese Magic/Dancing and an Indian-inspired Bollywood dance workshop presented by Cultural Infusion. Staff and students were encouraged to wear orange clothing to get into the spirit of Harmony Day.

Camp Quality is an organisation that helps out kids with cancer by making them LAUGH. I found the puppet show extremely funny, yet contained some important messages. The puppet show focused on a girl named Kylie who had cancer. Kylie always felt left out because she thought everyone had a superpower but her. One day at lunch her friend Dean helped her discover that her superpower was fighting against cancer and winning the battle. It is very inspiring to see how Camp Quality can change lives and can give children confidence in dealing with potentially life threatening diseases.

All that training, sweating and running in the blazing sun paid off because they won! The score was 10-2 and even though they won, they still had great sportsmanship towards the other team. While the girls on the softball team were playing their innings they continuously encouraged each other, which I assume made their team achieve victory. Excellent game girls and I hope we see another game like that again. The boys’ Softball team (since they were waiting for their game after the girls) they were concentrating on how the other team was playing throughout the innings so they hopefully know what to expect from the boys when they started their game. The Ringrose boys without a doubt tried to stay in the lead of the Widemere boys without showing any hesitation, but sadly they lost by just a couple of points. The score was 6-4; however the boys were still cheering because they weren't going to let some Softball game get them down, they still have loads more games ahead of them. Great game boys and good luck on your next game. 18 Sports News Rio Olympics 2016 The Games of the XXXI Olympiad, or more commonly known as Rio 2016 is held in summer.
