Thank you to Miss Close, who presented this week's book review in assembly this morning. Miss Close reviewed Humankind, written by Rutger Bregman. Humankind explores the idea that people are inherently good. He challenges the negative assumptions about human nature and suggests that our species has evolved to be cooperative and kind.

Congratulations to Himank Sharma, who was the winner of a canteen voucher in this week's Book Bingo draw for a canteen voucher.

With the Fortress 40 challenge now complete, some of the team reflected on what they learned after pushing themselves to their physical limits. Fortress 40 is a 40-hour physical and mental challenge to raise awareness about men's mental health and a fundraiser to support the Movember Foundation https://nz.movember.com/mospace/15363405 (the Movember Foundation is a registered NZ charity)
