The Aldridge School Annual Report is now available at http://aldridgeshs.eq.edu.au/wcmss/ and press the School Annual Report button. Hard copies are available from the school by request.
Extra curricular activities are often a core issue as to why students enjoy school.
Today I would like to sing the praises of Luned Higgins and the large groups of students that she works with in relation to academic competitions.
Our Junior Debaters (Tayla McGrath, Georgina Gott, Rachel Vandersteen and Amanda Milzewski [sub]) last weekend competed in the State Finals against three other teams. Winning through to this round is an astounding achievement given the number of schools (state and independent) in the state. They ultimately came third at the State finals. Great work!
Kristina Ree was also in the state schools Apex finals last weekend. Kristina won the State Final and is now through to the National Final in July in Toowoomba. Once again what a wonderful achievement. Results like this say a great deal about our students, the dedication of our staff and our school.
Further results include:
Ø Our chess team being ranked first in Wide Bay South and looking forward to finals for Wide Bay in August
Ø Taylor McGrath coming second in the Regional Rostrum finals.
Ø 10 Students currently preparing to compete in the Speech Making section of the Eisteddfod in August.
Ø Three teams of students once again preparing to do battle in the regional OPTI Minds competition (we have come first and second in the last two years).
Go the Ridge!
Don’t forget the P & C Meeting next Tuesday, 10 June 7.00 pm
