received the Tweed
Shire Council – ‘Kids

change and its impact on our planet.

Year 11 students get down to business
Instrumental Lessons
This week, five Year 11 Business Studies students and their
teacher Mr Bryson Coverdale attended one of the “Business
Excellence” series of breakfasts. The guest speaker was
business strategist Mr Scott Groves. Students learnt of the
importance of setting goals, how to identify hidden assets
- both physical and intellectual - within a business, and the
importance of online marketing. Afterwards, Mr Groves spent
time answering our students’ questions in what was a very
informative morning.
Thanks are extended to Mr Scott Groves, “Business
Excellence” facilitator Mr John Hurd and Mr Tony Worrad who
kindly subsidised our students’ participation in this event.
Private and group lessons are available at
Lindisfarne through our visiting instrumental
specialists. Lessons are 30 minutes and take place
on a rotation roster to ensure that students who come
out of class to attend their lessons don’t miss the same
subject each week. Timetables for lessons are posted on
studio windows at the beginning of each term.
Our visiting specialists are experienced and encourage
students to achieve their best, either through popular or
classical styles. Students are encouraged to complete AMEB
and Trinity examinations once they have attained suitable
levels.
If you are interested in your child learning strings, woodwind,
brass, piano, drums, singing, speech & drama or piano and
would like more information, please feel free to contact Tina
Ross at the Sunshine Avenue campus or Lucie Schuricht
at the Mahers Lane campus. Alternately you may wish to
contact the studio teacher directly. Their contact numbers are
listed below.

Congratulations to:
Hockey
Oliver Crane who is managing to sit his HSC Examinations
in Singapore and play in the Australian team for the Johor
Cup! Oliver and his National Squad teammates won their first
game against their Malaysian hosts, after the HSC English
paper!
Michaela Bryant and Kendra Fitzpatrick. The girls played
for the Queensland Embers and Queensland Cinders last
week in the National U13 Women’s Hockey Tournament held
in Brisbane. Michaela was vice captain and Kendra captain
of their respective teams. Queensland opted to put in two
equal squads whereas all the other major states graded their
teams, but the gamble paid off. Michaela’s Embers didn’t lose
a game. They conceded only one goal all tournament, against
eleven other teams, and they drew in points with NSW State
team. One goal difference, they finished second in Australia,
with Kendra’s team third.
overseas in their sports. Sam
competed in the World Surf Lifesaving
Championships held in France and reached
the finals of flags, line throw and beach sprint.
His team was the red-hot favourite for the Relay
but unfortunately one of the men pulled his hamstring
in the semi-finals. Alex travelled to Kona to compete
in the Hawaiian Ironman – World Championships. He
finished a sensational sixteenth in his age category.
AFL
Mr and Mrs Bedford, along with three Year 10 students and
various Lindisfarne parents, have been training hard every
Wednesday after school for the two day AFL 9’s competition
held at Byron Bay this weekend.
Teams came from all over Australia, making the competition
fierce!
Under the sensational guidance of Mr Bedford the team
advanced to the grand final - narrowly going down by one
goal!
Attached is a photo of Kendra and Michaela with Madonna
Blyth the Hockeyroos captain and Queensland State captain.
The AHL was at the same time and venue as the U13
Women’s. The older girls, including Madison and Savannah
Fitzpatrick, supported and helped to coach and mentor the
younger players.
Rugby 7’s
Lily Dick has been chosen to represent NSW at Rugby 7’s.
She has been training throughout the holiday. Lily also played
in the Queensland Rugby All Schools State Cup 7’s carnival
at TSS over the weekend. She was part of a combined team
made up of players from the Reds Squad whose school did
not enter a team. Many of the players in the Queensland
Development Squad were playing in their school teams. Lily’s
team was a good combination, as they won 5 out of the 6
games before their semi to make the final. The only game
they lost in the prelims was to Clontarf Beach High. They
met Clontaff Beach High School again in the final (a
team who had not been beaten in three years), and
won an amazing 19-0.
Congratulations to all the
teachers, parents and
students for a sensational
effort.

We are so grateful for the new portable

and for our afternoon pick up system.
Over the cooler months we have acquired a number of
unnamed jumpers in our lost property at the Sunshine Avenue
campus. Please call into the Administration Office to check for
any lost property.
