District Cross Country Results Congratulations to our 32 cross country runners who took on the districts best last Friday and came home victorious. Yes

Edward School are District Champions for the second year in a row. We are so proud of every student who ran with

such strong school spirit and grit. Each student knew that

every runner scored points for our school and they were de-termined to do their best. These students commitment to our

daily fitness routine “Run Around Australia” paid off with 9 students qualifying for the Riverina Cross Country in

Gundagai this Thursday . Good luck to the following students

8/9 Years Girls - 1st Molly Bradley, 2nd Erica Hayes, 3rd Shia

Parsons 8/9 Year Boys – 1st Tom Rourke

10 Year Girls – 4th Hazel Glowrey 11 Year Boys – 2nd Connor Didcock, 4th Jackson Muldoon-

Leetham, Wild Card Noah Bradley

12 Year Girls – 1st Annie Harvey

Despite our school’s tremendous success the biggest high

light of the day was at the end of the last race. Our students showed amazing school spirit to run with Barry for the last

100m of the race. Barry was in last place and our gorgeous kids supported and cheered him on, recognising the huge

effort he had put in. There was not a dry eye on the oval. Well done kids – we could not be more proud of you.

PBL Focus Our PBL focus this term is “Be a Good Friend”.

These are some words students have come up with to de-scribe someone who is “a good friend”.

Aspire Me Drama Camp Last week, two students from Edward Public School participat-

ed in the Aspire Me Drama Camp. Georgia Taylor and Olivia

Marchant spent last Thursday and Friday at Berrigan where they enjoyed two days of drama workshops culminating in a

showcase at the end of Day 2.

“When we arrived in Berrigan, we did lots of activities like

projecting our voices, feeling how our characters act and put-ting on a play”. Olivia Redden

“We were split into 3 groups, red, yellow and blue. We made

a show and the parents came and watched us perform the

show”. Georgia Taylor

Year 6 Wood Raffle Year 6 are selling tickets for a load of wood. Tickets are $1.00 each. All year 6 students have a book to sell but they

can also be bought at the school office. Raffle will be drawn on Jump Rope for Heart Day (last day of Term 2).

South West Music Free Concerts Last Thursday ten of our senior students were amongst the

audience enjoying one of the free concerts offered by South West Music, in the Town Hall. Not only were the students

amazed at the performance by the Orpheus Piano Trio but they were given an opportunity to talk with the performers after the

show and were lucky enough to secure a photo.

Congratulations also to these students who were commended on their respectful behaviour by the concert organisers.

Jump Rope for Heart It’s all Go! Go! Go! or should we say Jump! Jump! Jump! at Edward PS as students prepare for our annual Jump Rope for

Heart Day. All students are out practising their skills every day and the skipping teams have begun training under the watchful

eyes of their coaches; Mrs Bermingham, Mrs Kennedy and Mrs

Bowie.

Our students look forward to our annual Jump Rope for Heart Day every year and welcome the many parents, grand-

parents, carers, aunts and uncles who come to cheer them on

and marvel at their skills.
