Lang3 song4 competition

Last Saturday my students took part in the NSW Lang3 Song4 Competition. Charlynn's class came in second and she was really happy about it. Charlynn is always giving her best in everything. Boys were not selected by their teacher as they were rather playful.

I did not have many students comfirming coming and so there was only 3 of them on stage. really proud of them. They had the courage to stand on the stage and delivered their piece. I asked my sons to go up with them but they refused to do so. They had been learning the same thing but the boys were a disappointment. They simply do not hae the motivation to excel in whatever they do. I need to find out why parents were not able to come for the competition. One parent could not locate the venue in the heay downpour and decided to go back home. Aother claimed we did not tell them there was no school in the morning and so not so keen to come for the competiton. We did inform the kids that there was no school but the kids did not relay the message to their parents. For parents who did not bring their kids to the competition, they really are setting a bad example on their kids. Being responsible and on time is very important. Maybe I did not call in advance to them also is a cause.

Will find out when I made the calls over these few days to see how it is. REally not so happy to be caught like that. wondered what the principal thinks of my ability. There is 2 months probation so Who knows I might not be able to continue with the job.

I think it's really important that I get to talk to the parents before Saturday. Wish me good luck on the task. somehow calling them is okay except that they won't pick up the calls.
