Careers excursion - Restaurant chain conspiracy?

Hola amigos de la escuela Wantirna!

Fasten your seatbelts, folks. Tonight's blog will take you on a great and powerful journey! A journey unlike any school excursions, as this ride does not require you to pay $10 dollars to ride the bus! Instead, you can read it for free and use that money to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards or something.

Well it's the second week of term two at Wantirna, and things are getting pretty heated! For those of you who have not yet seen Mr. Lewis lately, he has become alot more energetic lately (reaching walking speeds of 100km/hr rather than the usual 80), and while I was standing far away, I could have sworn his head rotated 360 degrees when he was telling off a group of side-fringed year 7's! While the reason behind his energy remains a mystery, I believe I have figured out why this has happened...

"The Diagnosis"

Yes indeed, Wantirna-Watchers! Wantirna's school production is just around the corner, with many students ditching their masculine controlling father and basketball teams to join! This year I believe the title of the show is "Da Vinci Decoded", written by the college's drama teachers. My standards this year are quite high, and if there isn't a scene starring Mr. Cross or a hostile reference to St. Kevins College, I may just file an application to exit the college. Nonetheless, I anticipate that greatly!

My main discussion today however, is about a little year 12 event that happened on Tuesday. A couple of weeks ago, Ms Sgroi handed us a form, telling us it was vital to hand in on time. Nobody did of course - It's school tradition! But the forms were for a two hour excursion to Swinburne University, where we had discussions with University students about repetitive things. While it was great not to see Bob Hillman there making pregnant joke after pregnant joke, it makes me wonder why the college would send us away for two hours!

My first thoughts were that the school led us out so that the year 11's could graze peacefully at lunchtime, but after noticing the uncanny resemblance between Mr Foster and Colonel Sanders the other day, the whole situation became apparent...



The College led the year 12's out of the grounds so that they could transport KFC's secret recipe to a new location! Since year 7 I have heard rumours that the handwritten note was hidden in a vault under the ECA centre. Now that production is coming, Colonel Foster's finger-lickin' good recipe needed to be moved. What is on the minds of many students however, is where was it moved to? Now that is a Question!

Till next week!

Hidden Rooms...

Good evening peers! Welcome to this edition of Adventures of a Wantirna College Student!

If you have not visited here before, I will allow you to stay and enjoy the following few paragraphs (Unless of course, you are a Salford Park resident, but you probably are not, considering most are probably too old to even know what electricity is...)

Welcome to term 3 peers! It was great to see everyone at school with smiling faces despite the grim fact that many teachers, being deprived of human flesh the last two weeks, were eager to throw detentions in everyone's faces. Everyone's break seemed to be rather uneventful from what I've heard. 90% of people's holiday activities seemed to do with standing at train stations among people with skinny jeans and backwards hats. Being a stereotype teen and apprentice loiterer, it soundeed enjoyable, however my holidays revolved around a much more peculiar and dark incident which happened at the very college...

A few weeks back, Tim Horwill and myself were called to a staffroom. We must have been the most attractive college students in the eyes of the teachers (I hope Mr Bray voted!) because the school had lined us both up for a day of modelling in the holidays!

Now they told us this photoshoot was for school textbooks (I think it's a cover up, I'm guessing we'll end up on the front page of Librarians Weekly...). Cpt. Joseph Cooper was also to be modelling with us. Getting paid AND meeting the captain! What a glorious opportunity! But upon getting there I realised things were alot worse than I thought.

As I peered out of the science rooms, I noticed a mysterious bearded man loitering around beneath the library. I pointed him out to Joe, who recognised him as the Archives man! Apparently, according to the captain, Wantirna College keep records of every single student from the last 40 years in a room UNDER THE LIBRARY!!! And if that isn't strange enough, this bearded man was here in the holidays, moving the archives around the school! Quite honestly this came as no surprise; Wantirna's methods are based on corruption and close monitoring...BUT WHY UNDER THE LIBRARY?

Do the librarians ritually dance around the student archives every night to the humming of didgeridoos? Do they combine students' school photos onto boards and play Guess Who? And why is there a bearded man going through them all? My theory is the man was once a poor student who wandered in, looking for the preserved remains of Mr Arico's moustache and was locked in there and forced into silence...

Despite his possible good nature, I hereby am putting a bounty on his head

WANTED
Wanted for Questioning: The Student Archives Manager
REWARD

$5 - Schnitzel burger money
A lock of the suspect's beard as a token of bravery
A congratulatory letter from a year 7 student of your choice

Till next week,
Sam
