As thanks from Mr. Kanieke, the students were granted a -half-day on Thursday to start off our well-deserved, half-term holiday. House plays arrive on Nov. 30 and there's anticipation and excitement from everyone involved. An adjudicator, not from the school, will judge and choose the winning house (go, Hare bouse!). Already you hear people say: "Only 41 more days to Christmas holidays!" Unfortunately, Christmas examinations corne a lot sooner. Miss Mulhall's study hall bas become a lot quieter. The easygoing start to the year is over, and heavy studying and homework is upon us. Its ail worth it in the end, however, when you receive that graduation diploma. The forms for 'Educational Experience Week' in March have been given out. The flrst week of March, previously an examination week, bas recently been changed to an ' Educational Exrperience Week.' During this week, the students can participate in an interesting experience that will benefit in future years.
