year 6 camp was pretty awesome. sam and i snuck out to visit the boys room. and this one boy liked me and bought me a koala. i gave it back to him coz i didn't like him, so i didn't want to accept his gift. so he ripped it's head off.
also, i must say i was pretty proud to get dux.
16. Where did you go most often for lunch?
i can't remember in year 6. bottom oval i guess.

i have no idea. i'm sure there was an assembly. and i remember lots of crying.

Category: ReminiscencesDude! You had the same school song as me! And my school motto was "Aim High" too. I knew they recycled those things...
"We are Metella Rd, we stand with lots of pride,
Wearing our colours of brown and gold, we never back down or hide.
Our parents and our staff, steer us along the right path,
In work and play and all we say, aim high, aim high, aim high."
Was it really similar to that?
Posted by: James at January 12, 2007 09:25 PMi just looked it up on the schools website:
In work and play in all we say
Aim High, Aim High, Aim High,
At Normanhurst West we try our best.
Aim High, Aim High, Aim High,
In what we say and what we do we carry our motto through.
It may be tough but it's not enough unless you really try.
In work and play, in all we say,
Aim High, Aim High, Aim High.
Hmmm I remember ours had that "in what we say and what we do we carry our motto through" line as well...
hehe very similar though.
Posted by: james at January 12, 2007 10:00 PMThat's a really bad school song James. Is it real or are you yankin' my crank? 'Cause who sings about staff in their school song, that's not inspiring. That's dull.
