Hello everyone,

This week Y6 went to Molong Central for transition to

Y7 next year. We did maths and science. They provid-

ed a scrumptious morning tea. We have been very

busy working on our Presentation Night.

Today we had Mr Windsor teach us. He is fun.

Kindy had their transition today and they are doing

great and really enjoying themselves. Next week is

their last day. By Caylor & Isabell

We have an extremely busy and exciting term ahead of us.

Kindergarten Transition The 2018 kindergarten children have enjoyed a variety of activities and learning skills in the past weeks. Next Friday, 24th November, will be the last day of their transition. We would like parents to please return the enrolment forms along with Birth Certificate and Immunisation reports next week so we can start the enrolment process. Thank you to all the staff for their massive efforts during Term 4 transition.

Year 6 Transition Caylor, Isabell, Keisha and Kiarah had their final transition day at Molong Central this week. They thoroughly enjoyed their time at Molong.

Beach to Bush Beach to Bush is an engaging, interactive presentation delivered by experienced and en-thusiastic lifesavers who are on the road for one week in November visiting schools across rural and regional NSW. The aim is to make a differ-ence in the beach safety knowledge and aware-ness among primary school students that they can then pass onto their families when visiting the coast over the summer.

• General beach safety messages • Skin cancer prevention strategies • Rip and wave identification • Sea creatures and first aid • Rescues and getting help • Safety in other aquatic environments (pools, creeks, waterholes)

We are all looking forward to the Bush to Beach safety morning on the 24th of November.

OSSA Spec. Costumes Could all costumes worn for the OSSA Spectacu-lar be returned to school on Monday. We would also like black shoes and girls tights worn during the Eisteddfod dances to be re-turned to school. Thankyou for your assistance.
