From the Student Council
On Wednesday this week, the Student Council met to discuss many things, including the Kingaroy Merit Points reward for this term. Last term, students who consistently displayed Respect, Responsibility and Resilience were rewarded with a Hungry Jack's burger and chips upon receiving 135 KMPs. This term, we have three possibilities for the reward:
Option 1: KFC
Option 2: Red Rooster
Option 3: Tuckshop voucher
At the Student Council meeting, Form Captains were given a form to take to their class, so the class can vote on their favourite option. These forms need to be returned to Student Services via the form folder as soon as possible. The Junior leaders will then count these and the winning option will be announced on parade. Which incentive will the students choose?
Year 12s Learn to Dance!
Year 12 students have been practicing some dances for Formal with Ms Pearce on a Wednesday. For those who would like to practice the dances we have already learned or learn more, there is a regular three hour lesson each Thursday night. Just $7.50 (half price) with your student card.
Not just for students, everyone is welcome to attend.
