Question of the Week?

January 28, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

Are you looking forward to school going back?

Carmen Jelbart: I have had a couple of mini trips away with my children – Canberra for general site seeing, the movies and shopping – Jamberoo Action Park we had perfect weather, loved all the rides and thought I was a kid again. Yes, in a way, I am looking forward to school going back so that I can get back into a routine but will miss the
freedom of not having to be in a specific place at a specific time.

Toby Hurford & Talis Hurford: We went to the Central Coast – boogie boarding and fishing were the big highlights. Undercooked steaks cooked by our brother, Corey’s girlfriend was not the best but she tried. I (Toby Yr 9) am not really looking forward to school, would much rather stay at home and do what I want with no homework especially History. Talis is going into Year 6 and is looking forward to catching up with his friends at school next week.
Tom Toohey: I had a great time in the holidays, 9 days at Manly and went to the Big Bash Cricket matches. I can’t wait to get back to school next week, I am going into Year 9 and am looking forward to doing my elective classes.
