 | Dance Extravaganza |
 I''m sure everyone who was able to make it to our "Dance Extravaganza" on the last day of term would
agree that the kids did a great job performing the dance items they''ve been practicing with instructors
from Raw Dance.

| Scholastic Classrooms Care |
 Senior M took on the Scholastic
Classrooms Care project, which is
a special reading program that
empowers students to read and
make a difference to disadvantaged
Australian children. The challenge
involved our class reading 100
books, so that Scholastic Book
Clubs would donate 100 books to
kids in need.
Senior M successfully
completed the challenge with
enthusiasm and commitment. The
students will receive certificates for
their participation in the project,
however, all agree that the best
reward was being able to make a
difference to kids who are less
fortunate than themselves and do
not have access to the wonderful
resources that they do.

| Year 7's Cats Musical |
 I really liked Cats because we all got to experience the show. Cats was a good musical and once you’ve seen Cats you can understand why it is one of the best musicals in the world.
I learnt that when you’re in a theatre it is like a big room that echoes, so when you go in the theatre you have to be quiet and if you need to talk to a teacher you need to whisper. Otherwise everyone can hear you.
The performers look at everyone in the theatre not just the people on the first level. When they sang or just talked they used their voices so everyone in the theatre could hear when they were sad, happy or angry.
My favourite Cats were Skimble Shanks, Magical Mr Mistoffolees, Old Deuteronomy and Rum Tum Tugger. I like Skimble Shanks because he was a nice looking cat. Magical Mr Mistoffolees was one of my favourites because he couldn’t talk but you still could understand what he was saying and what he was feeling. I liked Old Deuteronomy because he had a good voice. I liked Rum Tum Tugger because he was the one that kept the musical happy plus he kept mystery to it.
I liked how the costumes looked so real and the actors looked like real cats. I liked how the writer of Cats made the set look like a real dump and how the lights changed colours and how they used the colours through the musical.

| Preps at Nudgee Beach |
 On Tuesday the 4th of August Prep C and Prep H went on an exciting excursion to Nudgee Beach Environmental Centre. We walked on the mangrove boardwalk and looked at tiny crabs, toadfish, different mangrove trees and mud crab holes. At the Environmental Centre we learnt facts about crabs. The parents helped us with beach activities. We pumped yabbies, found tiny animals in the sand and we made sandcastles.
On the beach we touched mangrove nodes, green worms, mangrove seeds, dogwhelks, yabbies, baby crabs and toadfish. Back at the centre we played with sea puppets, made clay sea creatures, listened to the sea inside shells and crawled like crabs through a tunnel.
We had a fantastic day on our trip.

| Senior Netballers |
 Congratulations
to all of our interschool netball
girls who did a wonderful job
in representing Manly West this
season. A special mention goes to
the Senior 1 team, who stayed at
the top of the ladder throughout the
season and made the finals.
In the final week of netball, the
Senior 1 team played two exciting
games. The first game was a semifinal
and they were up against
Wynnum West. The whole game
was head-to-head but at the end
Manly West broke through and
won 11-7.
It has been a while since one of Manly West’s netball teams have made it
through to the finals… so when we discovered we had made it, we were
thrilled. Manly West’s competitors were Tingalpa and they were a very
well-trained team. The game was tough and competitive and resulted in
both teams needing to play overtime to decided on a winner. In the end,
Tingalpa were victorious with the overtime score being 9-3. Even though
we didn’t win we still were proud to reach the finals. Congratulations to the
Tingalpa Year 7 team!
By Katherine and Imogen
Congratulations to grade 7 student, Mereana, who
has been selected to play in the Lytton District netball team, as well as the
Metropolitan East netball team. Mereana has shown commitment and dedication
to these teams by attending after school training sessions as well as
carnival days. We wish her all the luck for her future netball success.

| Rugby League - A Proud Coach |
  Rugby League: A proud coach
watched as the game see-sawed
back and forth throughout the
night, with both teams going to the
half time break at 4-4. Wondall
scored early in the second half,
only to see Manly West strike back
to make the score 8-8.
Despite some solid defence, Wondall
scored twice more, leaving the
final score at 18 points to 12. All
the boys are to be congratulated for
their efforts on the night, particularly
Dylan and Jalen who shared the Man of the
Match Award for their creative attack
and solid defence.
The boys would like to give a special
thanks to all the supporters:
teachers, parents and children who
turned up on the night to barrack
for them.
Darryl Brown, Coach
