SRC has raised the following so far this year
$400 on Sports Day at a food stall run by the SRC
middle school students and teacher representatives
$100 selling cupcakes and bringing a gold coin
donation to wear orange day for Harmony Day SRC
baked and iced the cakes with orange icing

anything that students identify as needing to be done
around the school
Sam and I would like to thank all students who assisted
on the stalls
It was hard work and all involved were excellent role
models for our school
Tallis Richardson amp Sam Clyma SRC Co-Presidents
On behalf of the OAS Council I would like to thank all
the parents and students from both OAS and HCCS for

Marlies has worked extremely hard to provide the freshly
prepared home made items on the Canteenrsquos new

provide an array special items for 50 cents and $1 for the
students at Recess and Lunch times
The support from parents and students so far this year
has already resulted in the Canteen exceeding our
expectations
Please continue your support of the Canteen and
Marlies and look out for the new Canteen menu which
will be out in Term 2
If you have any suggestions for specific menu items you

you are able to spare a few hours per week please feel

Year 11 and 12 Biology students modelling their
understanding of Mitosis and Meiosis (or what we
like to call line dancing with chromosomes)
The Year 12s are learning about Meiosis which is the
production of egg and sperm cells from our ovary
and testes cells
The Year 11s are creating a modelposter of
Mitosis - which is how almost all the cells in our body
divide to replace damaged dead cells - and
create new ones when we grow

Year 11 and 12 Biology students modelling their
understanding of Mitosis and Meiosis (or what we
like to call line dancing with chromosomes)
The Year 12s are learning about Meiosis which is the
production of egg and sperm cells from our ovary
and testes cells
The Year 11s are creating a modelposter of
Mitosis - which is how almost all the cells in our body
divide to replace damaged dead cells - and
create new ones when we grow
