Sherba-Chino Dinner - Middle Eastern Theme
|
This term, due to the space station contact in October, the Sherba-Chino Team has decided to have their first dinner on the 6th of November. We have decided on a Middle Eastern theme with our Sha’uri Bailey contributing to the atmosphere by performing some belly dancing at the start.
|
We will be serving orange tea, bread with dips, lentils soup, spicy lamb on couscous, fish curry on a bed of rice, falafel and pita bread, baklava, date pudding and semolina cake.
|
The three course meal will cost $15pp. The venue will be the back veranda, Sherbrooke Community School. Due to the demand and limited space we have decided to limit bookings to the first 50 paid bookings.
|
All are welcome! Please ring (03) 97552007 to make your booking. Credit card facilities are available. Special dietary requirements (eg. vegan, gluten free, diabetic) will be met if preference is stated at time of booking.

Climate Quilt 350
|
Today we had our 350 day. We started off with videos telling us about the importance of the number 350 especially to our very own pygmy possum. We wrote our pledges as to how we are going to live lightly on the earth. These were put on cloth patches with the unifying element being the number 350. These will go to make up a world quilt to be taken to Copenhagen in December to try to influence the governments of the world.
|
We then went out the back of the school and formed a human 350 sign.
|
The day was topped off with a number of student environmental activists given 350 T-shirts as a reward for their efforts around the school.
