West Melton Scholarship Presentation
We have some very successful past
students who attended West Melton Full Primary School for the whole of their
primary years. At our recent assembly, the West Melton Scholarship Award was
awarded to Jessica Taylor who is in the final year of her medical degree. There
were 8 other applicants for this award, all of whom completed their primary
education at West Melton Full Primary School and are now completing their
degrees in a wide variety of vocations.
Jessica discussed with the school and
then later with the Year 7 & 8 students the skills and qualities she
believed assisted her in her education.
• Being a self-manager
• Making the most of opportunities presented
• Always working to the best of your ability
• Experiencing different teachers before reaching
high school
• Meeting new students whilst still maintaining friendships
established at primary school
Olympics Day
Awesome Olympics
by James C
May 2012
Finally the day I've been waiting for
all week, Olympics Gala Day,
the 17th of May!!
First I went to school on the bus. It
was supposed to be raining, but it was sunny. At school I got on the bus again
to go to the A&P Showgrounds. I sat by Wilson. On the way there was a truck
that had crashed in the middle of the road! We had to wait a minute until we
could go. Then we arrived at the new A & P showgrounds.
First we got off the bus when we got
there and had a parade. Different schools were representing different
countries. Our school was representing Brazil.
After the parade we did a warm up before
we started any of the activities. The first activity we did was Ripper Rugby.
That was really fun, it was my favourite activity. I was in the red team. In
the first game I had 9 rips and 0 tries. In the second game I got 5 rips. Then
it was time for morning tea.
After morning tea we did multi sports.
The games were Crazy Tag, Rob the Nest, bowling and a mysterious game were you
had to hop or jump and when you met another person you did Paper Scissors Rock.
Then it started to rain. It started out
softly and then got harder. The teachers had to ring up the buses. At least I
got a hotdog but we had to go on the bus.
I was disappointed that we didn't get to
stay but I had a great time.
