It was with great pleasure that I was able to attend the grade 4 camp in Swan Hill last week. The three days and two nights were spent at the Pioneer Settlement. The students were able to explore the settlement learning about the history for the local area and adding their learning here at school. There were many reports back to myself and the others about how well behaved the students were. Well done grade 4 and thank you to Mrs Allen, Miss Peters, Jack-ie and Dean for coming along and making the experience enjoyable for all. Friday is the last day of term. We will be having a book week parade Friday morning along with the presentation of attendance awards. We will not be having our usual assembly at the end of the day. Students will be dismissed from their classrooms at 2.15. Students return to school on Monday 9th October. I wish the Grade 5 and 6 students all the best on the first day. They will be heading off to Canberra with Mrs McGinty, Mr Walne, Mr Tonkin and Miss K. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Stay safe, make good choices and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school for an exciting term 4 of teaching and learning. David Midgley Principal

These vegetables have been harvested from the school vegetable garden by the Year 5/6 Stronger Smarter Garden Group. There are snow peas, broccoli and lettuces in the basket. We are looking forward to harvesting carrots, silverbeet, beans and beetroot in the next few weeks. We will also be replanting the garden with our spring/summer vegetables early next term. There are also strawberries in flower so we are really looking forward to picking them in a month or so. While we have been waiting for everything to grow, the group have been busy painting garden gnomes and making a scarecrow. We have won a $300 grant from the Victorian Schools Garden Association and early in term 3 we will be visiting the Plantarium to buy some more vegetables and some fruit trees which will be grown in pots in the space behind the library. Next term there will be gardening activities on Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes and children from any grade level are welcome to come along.

“Escape To Everywhere”

Congratulations to our Girls Basketball side for progressing through to the Division finals to be held early in Term 4. The girls won all their games over the 3 weeks defeating some quality opposition. For the first time in quite a number of years our Boys and Girls Volleyball sides missed the Division finals. Our girls team consisted mainly of Grade 5 students, so hopefully we will be back in the finals next year. In the Softball, our teams tried their best, however the schools we competed against had teams full of stu-dents who regularly play in teams on the weekend.
