Our spooky story writers have written, edited, and are in the final stages of formatting for the KSP writing competition due this Thursday. If your child has been a part of this group, I will be emailing you their completed story for entering on Wednesday afternoon. I have been so impressed with the creativity and imagination of these young writers, that I look forward to whole school writing endeavours, coming up next term for St Clare’s.

The AIA Healthiest School Challenge team have decided upon the creation of a worm farm and Tuckshop bottle recycle as our sustainability project, water hygiene reminders and advocacy for the inclusion of seasonal fruit in the tuckshop for healthy eating, the design of  a calm space for children during play time for improved mental health, and the promotion of brain breaks throughout the day for brain health and increased physical activity. We are seeking an donations of clean, unwanted cushions/beanbags for the calm space in the library to become more relaxing and quiet. If you have any of these items please email me at jlang@cns.catholic.edu.au to organise collection. We will be implementing, analysing, and reporting on these projects for our entry and thank you for your support.

A reminder that the JCU Cairns Literary eisteddfod entries need to be handed in by the 31^st of March. For further information go to https://www.cairnseisteddfod.org/literary/
