From the Principal’s Desk

We have had another busy week with lots of things happening. We have many children representing the school with various sporting teams at the moment, who are doing our school proud. All teams that are representing the school are doing an amazing job. We also have children trialling to be selected for various district and zone teams. We look forward to hearing how you go in future trials. After a successful district cross country last week, many pupils will now progress to the zone level on Friday 3 June. Good luck. Good News

The school also received good news last week regarding a student who entered the 2016 Storytelling competition. Congratulations Bryn Walshaw who has been selected as one of six finalists throughout the state. Bryn is now invited to share his story in Sydney with the other

finalists on 29 May in Sydney. Well done Bryn and best of luck from all of us! Kinder Information Night Our information night for children wishing to start Kinder in 2017 was held on Tuesday evening. It was lovely to see lots of new faces that will be enrolling at our school in 2017. If you know of any parents who may be enrolling their children in Kindergarten for 2017, who were unable to attend, please encourage them to come to the office for an information package. Biggest Morning Tea Our school hosted the biggest morning tea today. Stage 3 children are provided the food for this. We thank you all for your support of this great cause. We hope you all enjoyed your treats and your drink.

Skateboards A reminder - If your child chooses to ride a skateboard to school, it is their responsibility to store it at the front of the school. If they cannot do this safely, then it should not come to school. Skateboards are not to be placed on bag racks or in classrooms as they become a potential WHS issue. Just as bikes need to be left at the front of the school, so do skateboards. We thank you for your assistance with this.

Thought for the week:

‘Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.’ Dr Seuss

Rainbow Day On Thursday, 18 May, our school had a fundraiser for a local family whose house has tragically burned down in a house fire. The theme was to come dressed in as much rainbow as possible. We raised $566.20. It was a huge success and the family is very grateful for our efforts.
