Camp shines light into lives of cancer kids
Mareko Ratu from Room 12 was just 10 days old when he started chemotherapy. He was born with cancer and spent a lot of his early life in hospital, by the time he was 6 months old he had undergone 6 operations, 35 blood transfusions and later he underwent 4 rounds of chemotherapy. He bravely faces life long ailments as a result of the chemo. Mareko and his family get support from Camp Quality which is a volunteer, non for profit charitable trust to help kids and their families suffering from cancer. They run a range of fun events and activities, families get the chance to share with others who have been through similar experiences to themselves which is a positive thing. I take my hat off the people who support others and strengthen our communities. Well done to Mareko for bravery and thanks to you and your family for letting me share a little bit of your story.

Speech Finals
Congratulations to those students (Emma Wilson, Jayde Knight, Gabe Hankins and Matt Fitisemanu) who were selected to represent the school at the inter-school speech finals (Year 7 & 8) last week. They all gave their speeches well and Matt Fitisemanu was placed, coming third in his section - a great result.

I came across a group of our past pupils yesterday having band practice in the hall. The group practice regularly under the guidance of Mr O'Donnell. A neat idea guys.
