Yaama, Athletics Carnival

This Friday is our annual Athletics Carnival. We have many talented athletes in our school and our carnival is a great way for them to show off of these talents. The carnival is being held at Magpie Park and will commence at approximately 10:00 AM. It would be great to see our community supporting our kids.

Housie

This Thursday will be the school’s first Housie competition. The competition is designed to engage the community within the school. At the event will be fundraisers and school information. I hope to see you all there.

Aboriginal Boys Dance

In response to the communities’ interest, the school has engaged Leo Hooper to lead an Aboriginal boy’s dance program. The boys are very keen and have been practising hard. Their first performance will be to open NAIDOC Week for the school on the 27th June.

School Canteen

The school is still very keen to attract more volunteers to help in the canteen. If you can spare a few hours a week and would like to volunteer in the canteen, please contact the school.

As always, please come to see me at the school if you have any questions or concerns.
