Wideview School Rides Day

Sunday 21st June

10am - 3pm

With this lovely sunny weather, the grounds appear to be drying out, for our Rides Day on the 21st June.
We will have more information as to ' Whats on' for Rides day in next week’s news letter. We will be having a mini market in the Hall, and goodies to be Auctioned off on the day.
For those of you who still have those delicious cake recipes on hand, cake trays are available to pick up at the office,
and can be dropped off at the Hall filled with yummy cakes, cupcakes, slices.. on the morning of Rides Day.

Debating

On Friday Wideview A had their first debate in the Premier’s Debating Challenge against Waitara. It was a high quality debate and the Wideview team of Leonie, Arielle, Ashleigh and Charlotte won the debate. In the Premier’s Debating Challenge the students only get 1 hour to prepare for the debate after getting their topic. The topic for this debate was that teachers should wear school uniform and Wideview had the negative. A wonderful effort by the girls.

In the Hornsby/ Hills District debating competition we had our first debate against Mt Kuring-gai Public School Tuesday. The topic was that the ability to spell and add is not that important today. Wideview took the negative. Our team of Emma, Ashleigh N, Arriahne and Amy did a great job but were unfortunately beaten. They made some good arguments and rebuts and will gain a lot from their first ever debate.

Public Speaking

The Wideview Public Speaking Competition is now complete. All students are to be commended on their efforts in this competition. We heard a wonderful variety of speeches and the children have all learnt something and grown in confidence from the experience. The winners from each of the four stages are:

Kindy – Sequoia C

Stage 1 – Amy W

Stage 2 – Jessica F

Stage 3 – Leonie L

Congratulations to all our winners.
