Accelerated Reading Winners! Congratulations to the winners of the Term 3 Accelerated Reading “Raffle” Rhyana Pethers and Zac Hellings. The “Raffle” tickets are awarded to the children who achieve 85% or above in their

book quizzes in Accelerated Reading lessons. The tickets are then placed in a box

and at the end of each term two tickets are drawn, one each for Primary and Second-

ary. The lucky winners receive a fabulous prize.

A big well done to the Primary students who are doing so well with their reading

they managed to half fill a copy paper box with tickets in just one term.

Central school classes from 1971-1974 gathered in Ardlethan on Saturday of the long weekend to celebrate forty years or so since leaving school. Former students travelled from as far as Perth, Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Merimbula, Batemans Bay, Griffith, Wagga, Albury, Barooga, Cobar and surrounding areas of the Riverina. Organized by former Ardlethanite Mau-rice Gaynor of Barooga the afternoon commenced with a look through the Central School and a wonderful presen-tation of photos put together by Tasma Crosswell and Elizabeth Menzies. They then went over to the Recreation ground club rooms where they enjoyed much chatting and having photos taken by Jim Slater before a barbeque meal catered for by Sue Strickland & helpers of the Bowling Club. Around sixty people attended as well as two former teachers John Harrison of Forbes and Greg Smith from Taree. Maurice was very grateful to all those people who helped make the event such a success. Many visitors gathered at the Warri Street home of Margaret & Ernie Davies on Sunday morning for brunch before leaving to head home.
