Principal's Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week we were excited to welcome back Mrs Hughes after her recent surgery. Mrs Hughes looks well rested and very ready to take on her multiple teaching roles once again. Please continue to keep Mrs Wilson in your prayers. We hope that it won’t be too long until she is also back with us again too. A huge thank you to Mrs Denise Reardon and Miss Hannah Baron, who have done such a wonderful job supporting our students while our teachers have been absent.
ARCHDIOCESAN SWIMMING CARNIVAL:
Congratulations to all of the students who represented us at the Archdiocesan Swimming Carnival in Boorowa yesterday. From all reports it was a fabulous day and lots of new PB’s attained. Congratulation to all our swimmers on giving their best in the pool as are very proud of the efforts of all our swimmers.
LIFE EDUCATION VAN VISITS-TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY:
The Life Education Van visits began today with Year 4/5 and K/1 being the first classes to attend the education program and meet up with their friend Healthy Harold! Tomorrow the rest of the classes will also get the same opportunity. Pleases see times and topics below. The students will be provided with a workbook that will support their PD/Health units while exploring more about the topic they were introduced to during their visit.
LACROSSE SPORT: Our swimming program has now concluded. All students K-6 will now be participating in the Lacrosse Sport program run by Gecko Sports. Please remember our SPORT Day has now changed to TUESDAY for the next five weeks. Today’s Lacrosse lessons were very much enjoyed by all of our students.
STEPH COOKE MP VISIT: MEMBER FOR COOTAMUNDRA
Last week we were very privileged to have Steph Cooke, MP visit our school. Steph’s main reason for a visit was to present Taite Johnson with his award after he was named one of the winners of a Vegemite drawing competition, celebrating Vegemite’s 100th birthday at the end of last year. Taite was presented with his very own jar of Vegemite with his name on it as well as some lovely art and craft materials. Congratulations Taite!
Steph also took time out to meet with the School Captains and Year 6 leaders, to discuss leadership. During the discussion Steph noticed the students’ beaded bracelets and commented on them. Dylan Ryder spent his lunchtime beading time making a bracelet for Steph with the word ‘humble’ in lettering, as he felt that reflected Steph as a leader. A photo was sent off to Steph who was very taken by the beautiful bracelet. She is keen to come back soon for another visit to accept the beautiful gift from Dylan. Well done Dylan!
PRINCIPAL’S RETREAT:
I will be away this week attending the annual Principal Retreat in Bowral. Mrs Kate Howe will be Acting Principal during this time. I am very grateful to Mrs Howe for stepping up into this role while also continuing in her roles as teacher and REC.
Best wishes for the week ahead.
Christine Baron
Principal
