Principal’s Message
In the stage 2 and stage 3 classes, students have been busy preparing oral presentations
associated with the Small School’s Public Speaking competition. At our school assembly last
week we had the pleasure to listen to some entertaining and thoughtful presentations by
students in the year 2/3/4 class. The process has been very rewarding for all our students. I
would like to acknowledge the efforts of staff and parents in supporting the students and
finally, well done to the many students that have given up play time to prepare as well as to
help others with their presentations.
Regards
Pauline Houghton
