Blayney High Bulletin - Issue 8 Term 1 - Week 10 6 April 2018

ANZAC Day

ANZAC day once again will fall in the school holidays. We would love to see as many students as possible representing the school at this important service on the 25 April. Formal uniform is to be worn. We will gather at the Blayney post office at 10.30 to have names of attendance marked for the 11.00am service. Students attending will receive a school merit and vivo points.

After a busy term 1 I would like to wish everyone a

well-deserved and safe break. I look forward to

seeing everyone re-energised for term 2. Staff will

return on 30 April with students returning on the 1

May.
