We have reached the end of Semester 1. I am proud of how well all the Arcadians have adapted and pushed through the changes we all had to make due to COVID-19. It speaks volumes about character and resilience, so well-done Arcadia House!

Thank you to all the Year 9 students who participated in the Wii Games last term, at this stage we are still in the draw for first place. Currently our Year 8 students are battling it out with the other Houses, and in Term 3 our Year 7 teams will finalise the battle. Go Year 7’s and 8’s! Get us that win!  

More exciting news! The Athletics Carnival is happening in Week 5 of Term 3, make sure you participate and bring the point’s home.

Arcadia House Fundraiser with James House and Cumberland House

Please support our fundraiser, collecting cans and food for Foodbank Western Australia. Due to all the changes over the last couple months, Foodbank has supported so many families to get them through very difficult times. Please support this worthy cause by donating canned foods, canned fruit, canned vegetables and long-life milk, tuna etc. For further information please visit www.foodbank.org.au and read up on fighting hunger in Australia to see what type of items you can donate. We will also be selling brownies prepared by our hospitality students in a COVID-19 safe way, and having a sausage sizzle in Term 3 on a pre-order basis.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. Helen Keller.

Enjoy your holidays, stay safe and rest well!
