A Busy Weekend!

Things have been going well. This past weekend was the boarders big weekend. On Friday night they had a social and invited other schools so there was around 500 students here. I had a bad headache that night so I stayed away from the social.

On Saturday I went to the movies with Jess to supervise 19 of the boarders. We saw 27 Dresses. I thought it was really cute! And because we went in a big group the tickets were discounted which was good because movie tickets are usually $15 dollars here but with the group rate they were $9. Later on Saturday we went to the beach with all of the boarders. It was a great day. We had pizza and I got to see how Cricket is played (kind of).

The seagulls were incredibly obnoxious while we were eating. Think "Finding Nemo"

I got to be one of the judges for the sand castle contest.
They were so clever!

Tonks (a Sr. Mistress) helped
judge sandcastles too

Don't think Tonks liked this one ;-)

On Sunday we went to Greenhills Adventure Park in Victor Harbor. It was a good time, there was mini golf, peddle boats (and tricycles!), and water slides. Needless to say it was also a beautiful day and even though I put heaps of sunscreen on twice while there I got burnt and now my skin feels like it is on fire. I guess I could blame it on not being in the summer sun for a couple months. I am enjoying getting to know the boarders a little better. They really are sweet girls but have their typical adolescent drama.

I start teaching this week! I am excited :-) We will be learning about points, line segments, rays and angles in year 7 Maths and the year 8s are learning about Medieval times in SOSE. Still trying to work out what classes I will be teaching once I get to full time.
