Happy Holidays!

Hey team,

Hope you have all been recharging over the break and are looking forward to Term 2!

A reminder that your 3rd Rich Challenge is due on Monday. Looking forward to seeing what you have all done.

Term 2 is going to be very busy and we will be working hard and learning lots so make sure you are on board the 4.75 speedboat and holding tight or you will be chucked overboard.

See you all on Monday!

Matt.

R Rated movies and songs with inappropriate content......What's the big deal?

Hi Team,

So what is the big deal? We are gonna be old enough to watch and listen to them eventually so why does it matter when.... Censorship.
Often in the media you hear about people who behave in a certain way based on what they see at the movies or on TV and what they hear through lyrics of songs. Mainly it is a result of excessive violence and bad language. But if it doesn't affect you does it matter how it affects others?

Post a thoughtful comment about your views on this issue. If you don't care too much and think you're cool for doing these things all the time that is fine but think about the bigger picture...
