Term 3 Summary

Term 3 Summary

Where do I start, it has been a fantastic term with many different experiences involved and this is some of my main highlights for term 3 2014.

It was exciting when the winter sport north-west zone kick into a thrilling start, i was very fortunate to explore a new sport, netball. coming from hockey it was an extreme change, i now decided to stick to hockey but i did learn so much while stepping up for success.

We were able to participate in the catholic sports tournament as well which was enjoyable and a great way to end our winter sports events.To conclude the sports season we did something for the first time in the history of Christ The King School, we held a sports ceremony awarding certain success' like most valuable and most improved player in the sports teams.

Another highlight is our school hip hop teams success. Ella, Maigen, Izzy, Claudia, Aniela, Catherine and Orianna,  with dedication and hard work the results showed a fantastic outcome. The team came second in the Canterbury schools hip hop open competition, year 7 & 8.

We had originally planned to have a ski trip to mutt hut, but it was extremely unfortunate that it had to be cancelled due to weather conditions.


We explored many different subjects as a class...

~we continue in technology on a Thursday morning each week. This term I was in the art room, there are 4 different subjects which are all great skills to come across. The subjects we have are: Cooking, Workshop, Art and Textiles.

~for narratives we used videos and pictures to spark imagination to be carried away into several narratives, i think we wrote about maybe 12, but there were so many different limits and challenges we conquered.

~in topic we look into crafty consumers and money as well as business plans, comparing products and brands and much more.

~we were introduce to nitty gritty novel which involved worksheets, relating to characters, illustrations, and yet again much more.

~last but not least are speeches, we were required to choose any topic at all, which means there was an extreme variety of different topics. First there were inter-class competitions then syndicate finals after that it leads to the top 2 or 3 being able to travel to Isleworth School to compete for the finals.
I was fortunate to make it Isleworth School.

Overall it was a term to remember, I cannot wait until we can wear the summer uniforms again!
I hope that term 4 lives up to its standards, also the end of year productions ought to be a blast!!!

I hope everyone has a safe and also an amazing holiday!

Francis Brandywine (Prequel)

The Quetico Park Monster

Francic Brandywine by Jess

Francis’ family never stopped looking for her, they searched high and low, they searched with police and detectives they tried to find out what had happened after that last diary entry.  Her family were told to stay away from where the action took place Bottlenose Forest. But do you think they listened? No they didn’t. They travelled out to Bottlenose forest. They place was buzzing with police and detectives, the entry was cordoned off with neon yellow tape with read “ police do not enter” The entrance was swarmed with demanding media wanting more information on what was going on.




Campers were being evacuated from the crime zone and family members were demanding to start there own search party. Francis’ family had come from all around the world, some of them even quit there jobs because they were so determined to find her and figure out what was going on. The whole entire family walked up to the entry where many security guards were standing, they told the security guards that they were helping wether they liked it or not. After several hours of debating the Brandywine family were allowed to enter the forest.



They walked around and soon found the police had ruined the place, spray paint sprayed on natures floor, police gear scattered everywhere. If you hadn’t been to Bottlenose Forest you would think it was a police base. But they decided to start right away, so off they went deep into the woods. Every step Francis parents and sibling took even more grief, sadness    and most of all horror was swept over them. But they had to find out what happened to there 17 year ild daughter. After a few hours of walking they arrived at their final destination, where all the action took place. Police and detectives were surrounding the lake and the little cottage in which they stayed in.



They were immediately meet by rude interviewers wanting more information for the world to know. “How did they manage to get in here” they asked themselves, but they family wasn’t focused on the media they were in fact focussed to find Francis and the person or thing that took her. They gathered together in groups of 2 and started to search all around the woods. They were equipped with food, water, walkie talkies and life supplies no one wants to take anymore risks. Since they were searching the whole of the woods they would be gone for days but it had to be done. Francis parents were filled with sadness but they were determined to find out what happened.


Francis father Riley was looking everywhere, high and low near and far he was looking everywhere. When Greg looked under a ordinary flax he found a envelope, it was the same writing that was on the last page of Francis‘ diary. The envelope said “ clue 1” Riley (the Father) and Catherine (the Mother) opened the envelope the envelope with eager and determination, the note was written in Francis‘ distinctive handwriting, it read “ row out to the middle of the lake were the flag is make sure you are quick, I am scared. Her parents reacted quickly, they told all of the people who were searching including the police and the detectives. They all returned back to base everyone wanted to know what was going on and what was going to happen. Police and detectives equipped them with this  undercover security system and then they were sent on there way. The family saw Riley and Catherine  row into the cystel blue lake but after a while they were out of vision. Francis parents were never seen again, the rest of the family hope that they are with there daughter but police and detectives say it is highly unlikely.
