Principal’s News:

Term 3 will be a very busy term with preparation for our spectacular performance of ‘Blue Ribbon Belle’ on Wednesday afternoon 16th September. Following the same theme there will be an Aussie style bush dance for all students and their families 2 weeks later on Wednesday evening 30th September.

 

The school athletics carnival last Thursday ran very smoothly with good weather, good student participation

and good parent support. I told the students the next day how proud I was that they tried their best even if they didn’t win and that students were very well behaved. These factors make they day enjoyable for all. A particular thank you to Olivia Phoon, Therese Duggan, Milan Dashputre, Kayleen McCready, Asha Pinto, the ‘K-2’ helpers & lolly ladies for helping out on the day. Thank you also to Mr James and Mrs Kemp for setting up the carnival and congratulations to Mrs Lloyd Jones for the overall organization of this very successful event.

 

The school will be painted this term so there will be some disruptions to classes in A and F blocks. This is part of the Commonwealth Government’s Economic Stimulus Package ‘Schools for the 21st Century’ program.

 

The fence survey indicated a strong support for putting a security fence around the school. (No-25 Yes- 90)
