Hey there guys

Well the time of year has come around again to hang up the bikini, kick off the slip-slops and put away the suntan lotion.  I’m really going to miss the long summer nights on the beach and those hot days in the pool with mates.  But boy, oh, boy, what an awesome holiday it has been!  These holidays have just flown by and so many memories will remain with me forever.  Hope you have all had a blessed Christmas and a fantastic new year too!  Unfortunately, the time has come to buckle down and put our noses straight back into our school books…but that always has a good side to it :-)

I am heading on to grade 10 this year so I am starting my chosen subjects - can’t wait!  Hopefully all you guys have chosen some interesting subjects and are going to put all your effort into studying hard this year.  If you do the subjects you love, it is always easier to learn.  I’ve learnt from past experiences that the more you put into your studies, the more you get out.  Also, make this year one to remember - you can never do too much J  So why not get involved in the school play, try new sports and put a little more effort into all you do.

Quote for the week - “The difference between school and life?  In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”  (Tim Bodett)

Good luck and I hope your school year starts on a good note:-)

Catch you next week…
