Who can believe how quickly the year is drawing to an end! We have completed our first 6 months at Kowanyama. Pats passed his ranking interview with flying colours, next year he is the year 7 teacher, which he is pretty stoked about.
Most of you know that we are staying in Kowie over the school holidays, basically so we can stay on top of our finances. The first two weeks have flown by in a blur of moving, fishing and swimming.
The last couple of weeks of school were busy, getting reports finalised, me getting ready to take over the BSM role, the school Christmas concert and a group of the kids and a couple of elders put on a Corroboree one Friday afternoon. This was a lot of fun, we headed down to help get the kids ready and then wondered down to the Rec Centre to watch the show. It's funny the kids all want to join in and get ready, but then they aren't to keen to take centre stage!

Only a week to Christmas - it will definitely be a different sort of Christmas for us, but one we are looking forward to. We are organising an afternoon cricket match which should be a lot of fun.
