*$1500 to spend-STEM robotics, bush tucker/ sensory plants-decided to buy an Ozobot EVO kit and put some money towards the Centenary fair.
*Centenary celebration suggestions- week of activities, reunion previous students, staff etc, fete/ fair/ markets/ car boot sale, Centenary merchandise stall, rides with wrist bands-each class researches 25 years of history during this time and sets up a stall, wears costumes from the time period-Musical for this instead maybe, dinner somewhere or roast people in the SPR night before the fair day or night of the fair in case people travel. Will have a Centenary committee to organize this.
