At the final competition for the year for Southland Olympic weightlifting, Ashleigh MacDougall maintained her top form to total 98kg. Her attempt at the 60kg clean and jerk produced a personal best. Ashleigh, aged 15, is the NZ secondary schools' championships silver medallist for 2009. She is expected to gain further successes in 2010.

Reminder for Senior Students from the Police
They will not be tolerating any silly behaviour especially when it comes to egging vehicles as has been in previous years. When the egg dries on the paint work of vehicles the enzyme eats into the paint causing chipping. This is Intentional Damage and students will face prosecution if this occurs. Each panel which is damaged costs about $600.00 to repair.
They also remind students to be aware if they are driving vehicles to carry their driver's licence as any breaches of the conditions can result in a $400.00 fine.
They wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas

PTA Christmas Truffles
It would be fantastic if you could sell as many as you can as they make an ideal Christmas gift (also great to reward your businesses staff) and handy to have in the deep freeze over the holidays.
We would appreciate your support also in making and packaging the truffles over the weekend of 13/14 November. This is a great opportunity to meet others in our school community.
Orders with payment please to the school office by Friday 5th November.

Parent Abuse Study
Has your child or teenager ever intentionally damaged things in your home?
I am studying the problem of children and young people (5-18 years) behaving abusively toward their parents/caregivers, by intentionally damaging parents property.
If you are a parent, step-parent or foster parent who has experienced this problem and would like to participate in a study by completing a questionnaire about property damage and other forms of parent abuse, please contact Latesha Murphy-Edwards on 214 2137, Text 0212959207 or Email ljm133@student.canterbury.ac.nz for a study pack.
There is no obligation to participate in the study.
