The competition between the Guilds is healthy and all students are given the opportunity to contribute to their success. Unfortunately, some selfish individuals may view it as an opportunity to take a day off from school and parents who condone this are failing to live up to their obligation to support the school in all its offers. Whilst all students may not be attracted to athletics as a competitor there are ample opportunities to be involved as an official or simply supporting the efforts of other members of the Guild. The good and well-being of the community needs to be placed ahead of the selfish desires of individuals. Weather permitting, I am sure it will be a successful carnival and the efforts of Mr Terry Leece and his staff in organising the day are best acknowledged by the presence of the entire Newman Community.
Parents are most welcome as spectators.
The first events should get underway by 9.00 am. One again, we offer our congratulations to all those who were involved in the College Production. The final performance was last Friday at the Octogon Theatre at the University of Western Australia. All those who were involved had a very enjoyable time and they certainly maintained the very high standard of performance which has been a hallmark of the Newman College Productions over many years. This match is scheduled as a curtain raiser to the main match between the Bulldogs and the Eagles at Subiaco Oval.
