Our dear class mate Auztin

This week Room 14 have been really sad to lose their dear classmate Auztin. Here is a tribute we wrote for him to put in the newspaper:

Auztin. 23 June 2009. Auztin was unbelievable, the way he jumped straight into everything without any complaints. He took heaps of risks, like at camp, when he made it to the top of the Giant's Ladder without any help.

At Red Beach School we are proud to develop as Life Long Learners and Auztin was the best role model. He was a selfmotivated learner who persevered in everything in spite of his asthma. He was a great drawer, the Manga champion cartoon drawer at Red Beach School for 2009.

He always made us laugh with his great sense of humour and made up funny nicknames for us all, he wore the craziest hats and had the funniest looks that you couldn't help laughing at. He had a great imagination and dreamt of being either a mediaeval knight, a werewolf or what he truly loved - a 30cm ruler! He was such a creative person and an inspiration to us all in Room 14.

Room 14 will never be the same without your neverfailing smile, your rich heart, your friendship to us all. You will never be forgotten, Auztin. By Room 14 - Red Beach School.

Sweet success

On Friday 5th of June our class sold over 300 cups of hot chocolate for $2.00 each . Altogether we made $551.50 profit . About 600 children aged 5 to 11 bought a hot chocolate each. We took shifts starting at 1:00pm to about 1:45pm. Each shift was 15 minutes long. We were stunned at how many students turned up to help make a difference. The queue for the hot chocolate was 30 metres long. After, when we were finished we felt proud of what we just did, we realised we helped Kawama basic school in Zambia to buy proper stationary and to help them learn. Last of all we would like to thank all of the Red Beach students who made a difference and some local businesses.
