Harmony Day
Harmony Day was on the 21st of March which last Saturday. On Friday, there were some people selling real yellow sunflower which costs $2 each in school. Harmony Day is a day to celebrate a commitment to harmony and mutual respect in a culturally diverse nation. The event's major objectives are focused on reducing racial prejudice and intolerance in Australia.
Last week, it was spirit week in my school. There were lots of activities.....
What is spirit week?
A week long celebration of what it means to be a Cheltenham Girl.
Monday:
Cake stall
Tuesday:
During roll call, you will find a piece of paper stuck under your table( if you are lucky) and you can go and get a present from the teacher.
Students form a pink ribbon symbol to support Breast Cancer awareness during spirit week. In order to be in the picture, you have to pay $1, I think.
Wednesday:
Mufti day (we get to wear casual to school)
There was a staff-student 'Beep Test' challenge. It's like a running competition.
The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20 m apart. These runs are synchronized with a pre-recorded audio tape, which plays beeps at set intervals. As the test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the athlete to increase velocity over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording.
The recording is typically structured into 23 'levels', each of which lasts around 63 seconds (the shortest level is level 16, lasting 60.45 seconds, the longest is level 2, lasting 67.8 seconds). Usually, the interval of beeps is calculated as requiring a speed at the start of 8.0 km/h, increasing by 0.5 km/h with each level. The progression from one level to the next is signaled by 3 rapid beeps. The highest level attained before failing to keep up is recorded as the score for that test.
The staff champion was a man Teacher!! Actually a girl teacher almost won the match but she trip over and fell down all of a sudden!! (Accident happens)
Thursday:
Funky ribbon Day!! Students wore funky ribbons on themselves!!
There was also a pie eating competition but I didn't went and watch it, neither did I enter that competition or else I would have been the winner. :P Entrance fee $2,
Friday:
Free sausages were given out to every student.. Each student can only get one but some of my friends got 3.. They said they got 8 last year. (they are such a good eater)
The problem in my last post has not been solved. will solve it tomorrow. *finger crossed*

Not really a lot.
Mufti day is a day where we get to wear casual but we have to pay a gold coin to do so.
The beep test is held on that day but it is a different thing.
Althought it is the 1st killer, but they still eat it right??
Sotong Kurita:
All these events were held either during recess or lunch time. So classes are as usual.
Do you think you will win if you enter that pie eating competition??
Err..Maybe ? haha
If I'm hungry enough..
I remembered I joined an eating mooncake competition before ..haha
But that competition competes who eats the fastest. And I nearly vommited by squishing all that ice-skinned mooncake in my mouth.lol
Sotong Kurita:
HAHA... maybe who eat the fastest will win the competition as well. I'm not sure!!
Really admire you 'stick man' cause you will never ever get fat. I have put on a lot of weight after coming to Australia.
