WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 14, Term Three, Week Five, 23 August 2019
Dear ACG Sunderland Community
What’s in this issue:
Wet, wet, wet – not the band, but this very frustrating period of weather we are currently having. Certainly no water shortages presently! In saying that, the Primary and College have managed this difficult period very well. I must congratulate the Primary leaders particularly, for taking responsibility for the younger children in their classrooms during lunchtime. Congratulations to the Year Four to Year Six who all completed their speeches this week. I understand everyone did a wonderful job with this demanding experience. The finalists will be judged by Toastmasters next week. Well done again. On Wednesday night our Year Nine and Ten top Mathematicians took part in arithmetic battles in the annual Mathex competition. An impressive record was set with our Year Ten Team A, completing ALL the questions at the Mathex competition. Despite some hiccups the team was still able to score a perfect 100 points in 23 minutes, making them one of the top teams in Auckland. Our Year Nine and Ten teams were carefully selected based on their Mathematics test/examination results as well as their problem-solving skills. These students have trained diligently with Ms Shao and have also been extending their mathematical skills both in and outside of class.
