Dear parents,

Thank you to all that assisted with today’s fundraising BBQ. To date we have raised approximately $6000 which includes a number of donations from our families. A special thank you to Lindbeck’s Butchery in Queanbeyan, and Kidz Biz for their donations of sausages and bread and to the Men of Mother Teresa for cooking the BBQ.   We also had a friend of the Lee family, Christy Ji who came in to help and we thank her for her assistance.

If you would like to make a donation please drop it in to the front office.

Maths Problem

Congratulations to Nikos Vassiliotis who was this week's winner.  It was great to see a lot of entries. This week’s problem is harder and I challenge the students in 5 Pearl to try and solve it at home.

Tippy the dog eats 1 &1/3 cups of dog food per day. Tuffy the cat eats ¾ cup of cat food per day. A bag of dog food contains 160 cups of food and costs $40.83.  A bag of cat food contains 58 cups of food and costs $29.89. How much money must be spent on buying bags of food for Tippy and Tuffy for one year?

Chess

Congratulations to our girls' A team who placed second in the ACT Girls Chess Championships – North Canberra Zone on Thursday. They now participate in the ACT Girls' Championships to be held later in the year.

We had 16 girls participate on the day and they were a credit to MTS.

This is the first time MTS has taken home a chess trophy, so we are all very excited.

Personal Plan Meetings

Our Personal Plan (PP) Meetings will be held over several weeks due to a number of staff attending Professional Development workshops and the short weeks coming up. Some meetings will be held this term and others will carry over into the start of Term 2.  Families will be sent an invitation in the coming days to attend their child's PP.  Thank you for your support and patience.

God Bless
