The Book Fair is happening in

August. The Book Fair is an
event held every year at our
school library. It is an opportunity to buy books, posters,
stationary and much more.
Students can go to the library

buy the things that they want.

Students also get the
chance to go to the Book Fair
shop and create a wish list of
the items they would like to
purchase. This year the Book
Fair store was open to the
public on Saturday morning.
This is the first time they have
opened the Book Fair to the
public. I enjoy The Book Fair
because there are many new
books to choose from and the
stationary is really cool. The Book
Fair is a fundraiser to raise money
for the library to get new books.
All the people that I have talked
to all love the Book Fair.

Australia winning the gold!
Catherine Skinner winning
the gold for shooting.
Australian Catherine
Skinner won a gold medal for Australia in shooting. She was competing
against Natalie Rooney,
the Olympic shooter
from New Zealand . This
Victorian Olympian was
tailing the competitor by
two shots but came
back to win 12-11.
Catherine Skinner has been
practicing shooting all her
life. When Skinner was little
she loved watching her father shoot. She was only
twelve when she got her junior shooter’s license and
now her father is extremely
proud of her winning the
stunning gold medal.

Cupcakes! Cupcakes! Cupcakes for sale !
Last Friday was
cupcake day. It was a
fundraiser to raise money for the RSPCA. The
cupcakes were two
dollars or one dollar.
We really enjoyed all
the cupcakes and
want to thank everyone who donated,
helped out in the canteen, organised the
event and anyone who
was involved. We
raised an enormous
amount of money for
the RSPCA and hope
that our efforts help
some animals.

Thank you to everyone
who helped out with
fundraising for RSPCA
Cupcake Day. Students, parents/carers
and staff all pulled together to make it a
very successful
event. We made
over $346 which is a
huge effort. It's wonderful to know that
the money we
raised will go towards making the
world a kinder place
for animals.

YEAR 1/2 WINTER BASKETBALL
Last Friday saw the EPS showdown for the 1/2 winter basketballers. It was a hard fought battle
resulting in a two all draw and a three all team fouls each. Couldn't ask for a more evenly
matched game. The children should be congratulated on displaying their school values on the
court, respectfully doing their best!
Their sportsmanship behaviour and conduct should be admired.

Under 10 Gold v Highgate
A beautiful Saturday morning with an early start saw us kick
off out of the dew at Mitcham Primary School. Another great
team effort followed on from the last few rounds & many
goals were scored as a result. With very solid defence also
allowing through only one goal for the game, everyone
should be super happy with their input.
Fantastic to see goals resulting from team play & passing as
well some flashes of individual brilliance.
A week off this round then back at home for the last game.
Looking forward to finishing the year off in style!

Science alive
On Friday the fifth of August the year 7’s went to
the Science Alive fair at
the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds.
One of the things we did
was watch a presentation
about STEM (science,
technology, engineering
and maths) There was a
guy who taught us how
hydrogen is flammable,
they showed us a demonstration with a balloon
blown up with hydrogen
and a lighter. They put the
fire on the balloon lightly
and it burst and made a
really big noise.
My highlight of the trip
was being able to go all
over the place and not
just as a big group.

Jacob interrupted. “Wait, what

fear. Do I have their programming in my brain? I didn’t trust
Steve or Dave much but now I
was suspicious of them. Could
they have their brains taken
over by these mysterious machines? My suspicious
thoughts must have crept in to
my expression because Steve
chuckled and said, “Don’t
worry Jacob, we haven’t

was a large boom and the
