Western NSW farmers.

Thank you to everyone who supported the P&C fundraiser by purchasing cookie dough. Over

750kgs of cookie dough was distributed throughout our school community.

Whole School Production Musical Mayhem

From the Principal’s Desk Ms Annie Munro

Please provide your child with a school uniform jumper. These are available at our Uniform Shop and can be ordered through Flexischools. Either a half zip fleecy or a sports jacket are appropriate for daily wear. At present we have quite a number of students who are wearing hooded tops- these are not appropriate for school.

Our Fundraiser for Farmers is set for Friday 24 August, details will be communicated closer to the date.

A part of our school’s welfare system is that students who require close monitoring of behaviour may be “Case Managed”. This is a period of ten days where students regularly report to their class teacher and Assistant Principal to discuss behaviour choices at school. Awards such as Distinctions and Honours will not be presented during this period - they can still be earned but presentation will be held off until the student has shown satisfactory behaviour on a consistent basis.

Please have your child at class by 9am. Being on time allows your child every opportunity to engage with their school day and maximise success in their education.

P&C meeting for August will be held in the Staffroom at 6pm tonight. Looking forward to seeing all attendees.

Monster Raffle - Remember to return sold tickets and money to the front office. More tickets available. Great prizes to be won. All funds raised will go towards resources for students. Pictured are some of the prizes to be drawn at the evening performance of Musical Mayhem on Tuesday 28 August 2018.
