Dear ACG Sunderland Community This week we have had the entire Primary school visit the Howick Historic Village and the feedback and photos have been fantastic with all the students dressing up in period costumes for the trip. A special thank you to Mrs Chartrand for organising the trip and to all the staff and parent helpers who I am sure they had as much fun as the students did.

On Thursday, our Primary Year Five/Six Basketball Team completed in the local cluster event held at the Trust Stadium. Missing the finals by one point, the team are to be congratulated on their sterling effort. A special thank you to Tyler Glenn and Mrs Allen for coaching and managing the team throughout their games.

A special thank you to the Parents and Friends Committee and in particular, Louise Kumerich, Liz Campbell, Tania Good and Toni Rainey, for their efforts with the now legendary Hot Dog Day. I know a huge number of Hot Dogs were made with over 250 sold on the day.

From the rock music and bass coming through the ceiling at present, I can only assume that the annual Battle of the Bands is eminent I know there is a huge amount of work taking place at present. I understand there are twelve bands taking to the stage this year. The biggest number ever.

With only one week to go of school, I have been very impressed with the engagement of all the students as I tour around the campus. From Year One to Year Thirteen and particularly those students who just sat their mid-year examinations. Well done. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Please see below for the organisation for the final week of the term.

On Tuesday next week, we are holding the annual Battle of the Bands! This year many students have decided to get together to perform for the school. Good luck to all the bands performing!! Get ready for an amazing afternoon and we hope it will be fantastic time like all the previous years.

This week we had the Form Class Volleyball Competition.

Five students from each form class got together to play against another form class. Many students loved watching and cheering their form class on! We love Form Class Spirit! Keep up the enthusiasm!!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the whole school game of Chaos. It was a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Here are some pictures of students playing on the basketball court at lunchtimes. We love to see all the students getting involved with sports and other students at lunchtimes. Also, we love to see them taking advantage of the sunny weather as winter has arrived!

One more week till the upcoming term holidays! All the students are excited for a break from school but they also need to remember that you need to take time out to study as well.
