Ballina High School

Final school for the Lismore area, betwix Lennox Head and Ballina sits Skennar's head and the stupendous Xavier College. Year 10 and 11 drama rocked it. Brilliant work- fun and imaginative offers all round. Yes yes y'all- can't wait to come back!

Another sweeeet Lismo' day- another brilliant school. Amidst HSC Drama assessments... Teachers mourning the reality check that comes with 3rd term after world trips and relaxing holidays.... And general first week back hectic-ness- the People of the Soil Project kicked ass! The work was ace, check Candy and Holly as they chat about the workshops....

Just wanted to say- to the wonderful students, teachers and all that attended Burnt at Ballina and Evans River- thanks for having us in the first week of Term 3. It's been absolutely awesome and to any Sydney folk or those in the Greater Western and Greater Southern Area's of NSW- if you're thinking about a road trip... The Northern Rivers is very mild and lush right now! We already know that I'm going to miss the food and the prices...89c for an avocado...$9 pork roast with the most delicious veggies I've had in some time... Shandon chicken- yum yum yum and strawberries all round. Ahhhhh- l'll keep y'all posted regarding food and workshops over the next two days. St John's Woodlawn tomorrow and Xavier of Friday.

Over and out, Candy B.

Another scintillating wrap up from the Lismo' Teachers, Holly and Candy

Thanks so much to Fiona and the gang at Hay Memorial High School.
What a great day!

Lappin down the street in my Subrau
Acting all cool that's just what we do
Gettn a slush puppy in the afternoons
Pump'n some of those sweet as tunes
We arrived at Madmans River Bend
To catch up with our mad friends
Floating down the river on a hot summers day
That's how we live life in Hay
--------------------------------------------------
Walking down the street and there was a brawl,
Out on the street near memorial hall,
These people were dumb, not educated
Punched me in the nose, I felt violated
I started punching back at a rapid pace
Then one of the bastards glasses me in the face
They ripped out all my hair, tore at my clothes
Hit me in the face, smashed me in the nose
Things were gettin' gross, lookin' kinda sick
I had to end it all with a round house kick!
--------------------------------------------------
One day I went down to Cementry Bend
That's where Matt Miller lives at the rivers end
I went to drink 'cordial' and have a good time
Cause drinking 'cordial' ain't no crime

We had a party there on Saturday night
And then it all ended in a bloody fight
That's what happened at the rivers end
All right there on Cementry Bend.
-------—----------------------------------------
I was hooning around in my car
Unfortunately cause of Ned we didn't get far
We decided to jump over a dam
Got airborne then the car went BAM!

Scott phoned his mum, who got pretty snappy
And we soon found out, she wasn't to happy
'Did you get hurt Scott, my precious little muffin?'
It wasn't my fault mum, I didn't do nuffin!

Sitting here in Hillston, it's a big hole
To lazy to work, they're all on the dole
There's not much really to say
They should go get a job at the IGA

We got no police station cause it burnt down
There's rumours going round it was started by some clown
No coppers around, the kids are smoking bongs
You don't need drugs to all get along

Everyone in Hillston, they're all fools
We all attend this thing, it's called school
We're just gonna chuck in the word 'glory'
Cause our teacher looks like the chicken from Toy Story
The thing is we have no Macca's in this town
And the other day the diner burnt down
The river is full of rubbish and dead bodies
Unfortunately in the town, there ain't no hotties.

There's this guy who goes to Hillston High School
Walks around the place like he's cool
But we know he's not, he's really a tool
He gets such a big head, we say 'shut up fool'

He thinks that he's so dam pretty
Spends more time in the bathroom than me
We can't believe that he can't see
We shouldn't have to fight for the GHD
