Thank you again to everyone who was able to contribute this year, we are expecting that at final count up we will have made approximately $40,000 profit. Amazing! There is a suggestions box in the office (called Amanda) so if anybody has ideas for what they would like some of the money to be spent on, please write these down and pop them into the office. We can’t make any promises at this stage but we do ensure student learning in its widest sense is central to all decisions. We would also love to hear your reflections on how you think the particular area you worked in went on the day; what went well, and which aspects not so well – remember to be constructive with your criticisms, and practical with your suggestions; we will hear them anyway through the valley vine, however we would rather hear them directly! Scarecrow results: The winner of this year’s scarecrow competition was Tui G and family, for a scarecrow which the judge said just exuded a real sense of joy. The scarecrows created by Chase, Jack & Max, Elvie, Henry & Nina were all awarded close second prizes! ‘Most original’ went to Arabella’s horse, and ‘most eye-catching’ went to the SWAG scarecrow on Westbank Road. Great efforts everyone!! Cake competition results: The cake competition was judged by Jester House’s executive chef, Catherine C. She awarded first prize to a chocolate gateau that not only looked very appealing, but was deliciously composed with chocolate mousse in the centre and fresh cream on top. This was made by Joanne K. Second prize went to a delicious and unique cake with a great texture and yummy coconut topping, made by the Kiddle family. Third prize went to Bo C, for a chocolate overload cake that was beautifully moist and had fantastic icing.
