CURRENT EVENTS.

For Matri- culation --~

Owing to the proximity of war to the shores of Australia, the government decided it was not wise to allow the schools to re-open after the Christmas vacation. Thus, since we could not attend ~chool we received correspondence hly post. Most of us ' enjoyed this ' ~ovel way of education cmd threw our- selves into it heart and soul. However, the schools were allow- ed to re-open soon after, which was perhaps fortunate as the novelty showed sighs of wearing off. Since we have returned, our knitting enthusiasts have been using their excess energy and opportunity to help the Forces. To the Comforts Fund we have sent 6 skull caps, 5 pairs socks, 3 balaclavas, 3 waistcoat mufflers, 1 pair mittens and 2 sleeve- less cardigans and a parcel of children's clothing, including 8 jumpers, has gone to the Red Cross. No Inter-School Swimming Carnival was held this year and all of us regretted this very much. It was particularly dis- appointing to the Thirds who have not yet had a cho:nce to take part in any Inter-School functions, though we hope they will have many opportunities in the future. Tennis and Net-ball practice started soon after we returned, but owing to rain we could not play the customary matches against the Old Girls' . Inter-School matches began soon after. We were very sorry to lose our tennis and net-ball mistresses, Miss Jones and Mrs. Tully, at Easter, but their places have been taken by Miss Kennedy and Miss Tomlinson. After Easter we were very sorry to learn that some of our mistresses would not be returning. As well as Miss Jones and Mrs. Tully, who have already been mentioned, Miss Jean Baker, Miss Hetherington, Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Todd have left us and to all these we extend our best wishes . We were pleased to welcome Miss Maclardy to the School, and also Miss Morrison, Miss Frederick, Mrs. Orme and Mrs. Thelander who visit us occasionally, and we hope they enoy their stay with us. Air-raid drill now proves an interesting diversion to school work and though we hope we shall never need to use the trenches we would really miss the break it affords, though the alarm seldom comes at an opportune time. -M.H., VI.
