Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back. I hope everybody had a restful and enjoyable Easter

break.

It was great to have so many students and parents turn out to march

with us at the Anzac Day march in Nowra yesterday and this

morning’s Anzac service at school was equally well attended by

parents and family! You will be pleased to know that your children

did you proud and represented our school very well.

I would like to thank our special guest Commander Natasha Burney,

Sargeant Jason Barrett and Mr Fred Dawson from the Greenwell Point

Nowra RSL. It was also fantastic to have Commander Andrew

Watson, Leading Seaman Warwick Douglas and Able Seaman

Michael Starkey, from the South Coast Chapter of the Veteran's

Motorcycle Club. The Harley’s were a big hit with the kids!

STATE SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

In the last week of Term 1, Matthew Higham represented the South

Coast in 4 individual events at the State Swimming Championships at

Olympic Park in Homebush. Despite making the final in 3 of his 4

events and setting PB’s in some of his events, Matthew was not able

to qualify for the National Swimming Championships. He came very

close to representing at the National Championships in backstroke

where a few hundreds of a second kept him from a representative

spot. A fantastic effort from a very capable and humble athlete. Well

done Matthew.

NO ASSEMBLY THIS FRIDAY

Due to the Cross Country being held this Friday, there will be no

assembly this week.
