Sport - Construction Group
Kanahooka High School’s Construction sport group have completed a 12 metre
section of a retaining wall in an effort to redirect the water and debris that has
been damaging an existing school storage shed. The students led by Mr Ivatt,
the schools construction teacher, developed a proposal to retain the identified
area with a timber structure and submitted plans as well as an itemised material
list in preparation for the project . When asked about the progress of the project,
Mr Ivatt said, “I was very impressed by this group of students who all worked
hard and demonstrated great teamwork to complete the project within the
allocated time”. When asked what is the future for the group, Mr Ivatt said, “I
feel the team is capable of completing most projects around the school and that
the group are always keen for new members to be involved in future projects.”

Library News
Ms Lynch and Ms Etheridge went to the Scholastic Book Sale last week and purchased a fantastic array
of new exciting books for students. Ms Lynch is madly cataloguing and processing these books so that
they are available for students as soon as possible.
One of our new purchases included a series by James Phelan called The Last Thirteen. Find it at the
library!
The library has also put some amazing titles on display to
commemorate the centenary of Anzac Day, including some
wonderful picture books by Australian authors. Check them
out!
If you find any books with the Kanahooka High School
barcode on them, it would be greatly appreciated if you
return them to the library.

13 books. 13 nightmares. 1 destiny. I click my fingers and everybody dies. Sam wakes from his nightmare to discover the terrifying reality.
It will come true.
Kidnapped from school and finding out his parents aren't who
he thinks they are, Sam is suddenly running from danger at every turn. Nothing will ever be the same again.
With his life and identity shattered, Sam's salvation is tied to an
ancient prophecy. He is in the final battle to save the world, up
against an enemy plotting to destroy us all.
He alone can find the last thirteen.
