FED
FED welcomed Sydney Boys’ High last week. This week we welcome Sydney Girls’ High. Debates this week will be on the Colonnade.
Special thanks to our Language Arts parents and girls who will again transform our afternoon tea in a party with their generous contributions. This new tradition will be in place each time we double host. Please note this is optional. Parents, please join our Language Arts parent support chat. All supper contributions are to be brought on the evening or dropped into Mrs Hubbard’s new office in the Music Colonnade, ground floor. Thank you! Ideas include, Savoury: sandwiches, dip and biscuits, cheese, chips, cheezels etc. Sweet: cupcakes, biscuits, fruit.
Next week FED debaters will travel to Riverview by bus.
ISDA
Last week Pymble ISDA debated strongly at Trinity. We won six out of the eight debates. This week we debate in the KM building at Pymble and host Kincoppal Rose Bay. Primary A and B will have make ups in April due to their Canberra excursion.
As we are double hosting this week, with FED and ISDA on site, parents are asked to contribute a plate. This is optional. All contributions are to be brought on the evening or dropped into Mrs Hubbard’s new office in the Music Colonnade, ground floor. Thank you! Ideas include, Savoury: sandwiches, dip and biscuits, cheese, chips, cheezels etc. Sweet: cupcakes, biscuits, fruit.
