Time Flies - are you keeping up?

I hope the Year 8 students recognise the use of personification in the title of this post.

I can't believe we are halfway through week 4 already!  This term really is going by way too fast.  Yesterday we had our second annual House Choir competition with Lane taking out the honours.  Their rendition of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' was fantastic!  Complete with drums and a dancing lion, it was hard to beat.

Currently we are going through the process of holding elections for student leaders for 2012.  The Junior Secondary Captain and SRC Representative applicants had the opportunity to address students in years 7-9 at yesterday's assembly.  The House Captain applicants addressed their respective houses during PC this morning, and we will vote for 2012 leaders this afternoon.  All applicants will be interviewed as part of the selection process to ensure we have the right people in leadership positions, not simply the most popular.

With so much happening it is important to take some time to make a plan for managing your time.  Be sure to look at your assessment planner and develop a timeline of when you will work on and complete certain tasks. Although this involves time at the beginning, it will certainly pay off knowing that you are on top things when you get to the 'busy' part of the term - is there any part of the term that isn't busy?  You may want to check out Millie's post from Term 2 for some good ideas on getting organised.
