In particular, congratulations to 2018 Junior School Captains Lachlan Jensen and Blaik Reibel, and Year 10 Student Brianna Truss, who was awarded the Year 10 Gympie Lions Club Encouragement Award.

Australian Maths Competition
Recently, 12 Tin Can Bay students entered the Australian Mathematics Competition, run by the University of Canberra. All students went really well, with one student receiving a Certificate of Distinction for scoring in the top 20% – Lucas Galvin-Ridge.
Five students also received a Certificate of Credit for scoring in the top 55% – Harrison Maker, Angus Riley, Raine Parslow, Adam Nelson and Tehmia Masri. Congratulations to all!
Secondary camp
Last week a group of 21 fantastic students from Yrs 7-9 attended three days of camp at Maranatha Camp, Boulder Creek, Gympie. To be eligible for the camp students had to have behaviour and learning that lived up to the TCB 3 Agreements, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be A Learner.
They all certainly lived up to these agreements during the three days of challenging and fun activities including Tower of Tremble, Archery, High Ropes and Abseiling, Rocket Ball, Leap of Faith and Bushcraft. Congratulations to all who attended. You did TCB proud.

Bus travel in 2018
You may be required to re-register your student for bus travel in 2018 if: a) they were in Grade 6 in 2017, b) they were in Grade 10 in 2017, c) the student’s home address has changed or d) the student is changing school. Please collect the registration form from the school and register now to avoid having to pay fares at the start of 2018.
