Summary of Term 3 2012

Woah... this term has gone pretty fast. Yesterday was the last day of term 3 2012. I've had some highlights so I'm going to share them with all of you. The highlights:

1. Science Talent Search Going to the STS competition for the first time! I missed out last year, so I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had very friendly adjudicators so it wasn't that bad...

2. GSV Championship Athletics Carnival It was really fun! As opposed to the Prelims, it was really sunny at Lakeside Stadium. I came a close fourth in Shot Put, I could have gotten a ribbon, it could have been a nice piece of souvenir but it doesn't matter so much. My other event was Discus. Well, that didn't go so well - I came sixth, but I was a sub for a person who wasn't there anyway...

3.Debating - DAV Junior Secondary Program This was probably the biggest highlight of the term! I got a taste of debating in 3 rounds. I was 2nd speaker for all of them. Our team won all of our debates! That was a great experience.

4. E.M. Butt Public Speaking Competition This is a Public Speaking competition at our school for years 6-11. Our theme was 'What I Would Love'. My speech topic was 'I would love to step into other people's shoes'. Though I did not get into the finals, I think I did a good job and that's all that matters. I think that I will only improve over time so I'm going to try again next year.

5. ICAS Science Competition I was really happy with my result - a Distinction. I have never gotten a Distinction for Science before so I was really excited. I got to go up on stage in full School assembly to receive my certificate. I felt really good when I went up to collect my certificate!

Now come the holidays! I am very excited. Tomorrow we're heading off to Phillip Island for 3 days and it'll be so much fun! And then who knows what I'm going to do after that.. Hanging out with my friends, going out for Mummy's birthday, and I'll probably just rest and relax. Then it will be back to school for the final term in 3 weeks' time!
