Certificates
We hope to have sent out Participation Certificates by the end of next week, Friday May 11. These certificates, printed with the signatures of the Crusaders' team, are being posted to schools, all except for Home Schooled and Correspondence School students to whom we will be posting directly.
If you sent in an individual entry or entries the certificate will still be posted to your school, so in the first instance please ask your teacher for your certificate if you miss out on receiving one.
Teachers, please contact the library for additional certificates if insufficient quantities have been sent out to your school.
