- It's a long way from Wagga Wagga to the Melbourne Cup! Be prepared for a long drive. I've been to the Cup twice, but I'm not going this year. Make sure you back the winner!

As the students are preparing their reflections and writing responses to Three Cups of Tea, I have found it to be very interesting the connections they have made. The text to world, text to self and text to text connections are unique and personal...

Erik certainly made a difference. It's the little things that are often most appreciated! So well done Erik I hope you keep this up.
Good on you Erik. I bet your parents are appreciative of all you are doing at home. Perhaps you can build on this and continue to do some of those things, like making your bed. I think you're off to a great start. : )
