♥ Earth Hour
wilkie:
Thank you Perth, for doing your part and turning off your lights, all our major skyline buildings powered down (amp, bankwest tower, qv1 and central park) and it was such a beautiful sight to see the city becoming black!

Every class had to come up with a mascot that best represents Chinese New Year. One by one, the mascots for each class paraded its way through the audience. Finally, it was time for...
