Maitland Area School

Rehearsals for the local production of 'Chicago' have started in the PAC.

Directed by local choreographer Leanne Cane, this year's Maitland Music & Arts Club musical promises to be a very different show to to 2011's 'Oliver'.

The club has made good use of the MAMC facilities splitting dancing and musical rehearsals between the centre's rooms.

The 'Chicago' cast and crew will move to the McKnight Theatre in June, with performances in early September.

This term in Maths we have been learning Geometry. Mr Salmon gave us the task of doing a Geometric Shapes Investigation. We had to do 10 out of 18 activities by Monday Week 4. Some of our class favourites are What Am I book? , Make and Label a Cube, Make a mobile with geometric shape and many more. Mr Salmon took all our work and now has the pleasure of marking the tasks. It was a fun task and I enjoyed it.

In P.E with Miss Koch we have been learning how to play European handball.

It’s a cross between netball, basketball and soccer.

We have learnt the rules of what to do and what not to do.  

On Friday May 4th our Cross Country team of 40 students travelled to Kadina to participate in the annual Yorke Peninsula Primary event. 

It has been decided this year that we will be combining our traditional Year 8 and 9 camps. This will allow us to continue to maximise opportunities for our students and provide a more productive camp environment. This year we will be attending the Police Blue Light camp at Errappa, Iron Knob, where students will have the chance to build teamwork and self confidence. Next year we will still be going to Canberra so that everyone will still have the opportunity to experience both camps.
