As we reflect on this term it has been quite astonishing when we consider what we have done. It has certainly been very busy and there are no signs of next term being any quieter.

What an amazing school community we have! Grape picking started at 7am on Wednesday morning with two students riding their pushbikes in from Laura and arriving well before time, ready to start picking. A huge thank you to Levi, Lachlan and Luke, Jocelyn and Francis, David and Emmi, Andrew and Annie, Kathleen, Brenton, Tobey and Samuel and so many of the staff for the early start. We managed to pick all of the grapes in record time and we eagerly await the tonnage report.

Last week saw Kate Seidel take students to Adelaide to represent MNSEC for Adelaide Athletics.  Congratulations Max Flowers on winning the Under 15 Boys High Jump with a height of 1.63m. To all of our students who represented GHS and MNSEC congratulations and well done.

Helen Gaunt and Tyler Norton also accompanied Year 11 and 12 students on one of their expeditions for Outdoor Education last week, kayaking on Ral Ral Creek. From all accounts the students had a fabulous time and exceeded their own expectations with the distances they paddled each day.

With reports going home last week I encourage any students or parents to contact their respective subject teachers to arrange a time to catch up and discuss any concerns that may have been raised and to look at ways to improve.

Have a wonderful break and a reminder school returns on Tuesday 27^th April.
