Principal’s Report Respect and Responsibility April 25th has long been a special day for war veterans, young and old. It has also become a time for all Australians to reflect on the opportunities we have and the way we can show respect for those who serve in the audience, navy and army.

Our student leaders and other school representatives were front and centre this year in various ANZAC commemorations around the Valley. One of our school values is Respect for ... And there is no better way to demonstrate respect by going out of your way to support traditions, respect traditions, show appreciation for our freedoms and use them responsibly. So, thank you to:

Year 12: Nicholas Sticotti, Emily Smith, Bethany Spindler

Year 11: James Burgess, Morgan Durrant-Curtis

Year 10: Georgia Burgess, Kelly Wheatley, Lachlan Thomson, Georgia Wills

Year 9: Simone Blacka, Jessica Smith, Darnell Andy (carried Aboriginal Flag)

Year 8: Jacob Taylor, Tyler King, Oscar Gill, Noah Murray, Josephine Bonney,

Damien Wills

Year 7: Jude Butchers, Logan Backhouse, Jack Hetherington

for representing their school in these important community traditions and respectful commemorations.

This week we welcome a new teacher who is joining our Special Education faculty. Guy Sterling was successful in the merit selection process run by Jenny Mace. It was another example of representatives of the school community working together in choosing staff to meet students' needs and improve learning outcomes. Guy has moved from Mudgee High School and we know he will enjoy teaching at Bega High and he will definitely enjoy life on the Sapphire Coast.

Our Eden Excursion We went to Eden on Thursday, 24 March and we saw lots of amazing sea creatures. One was an Octopus called Gerry.

We got to watch Gerry eat some prawns for breakfast. We also saw some baby crabs, small fish and a lobster. We did not see a mermaid.

We ate fish and chips for lunch and learnt all about Old Tom the killer whale.

It was a great day!
