FROM THE PRINCIPAL

P&C TRIVIA NIGHT

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Trivia Night so successful! The night was a barrel of laughs and so much fun was had by everyone who attended. Special mention to Betty Botox for putting on a fabulous show and to Carly Brunt and the Fundraising Committee for organising such a wonderful event. Early indications have the night raising around $2000 for the school.

PIE DRIVE

Our Stage 3 Pie Drive Fundraiser was very successful with 1235 pies sold! This equates to $2827 funds raised (profit) for the Stage 3 excursion to Burrendong Sport & Recreation Camp, with students attending in mid September next term for 5 days. An explanation of how funds are distributed can be found in the Term 2 Week 5 Newsletter. Thank you to all families who got behind this fundraiser. I would also like to acknowledge the following people for their assistance in packaging the various orders last Tuesday: Shailee Roxburgh, Melissa Moller, Karly Rogers, Belinda Duffy, Belinda Drane, Joel Johnston, Edlyn Luxford, Stephen Johnson as well as Mrs Press, Miss Croker, Mrs Watson, Mrs Goodacre, Mr McGregor and Miss Frecklington. Finally , thankyou to Mrs McNamara for her work in preparing and processing the order—a very big job!

WEAR RED DAY—THURSDAY

This Thursday we are proud to show our support for Ronald McDonald House Orange by asking students and staff to ‘Wear Red’ and bring a gold coin donation. Hundreds of families from across regional NSW rely heavily on the support they receive from Ronald McDonald House. It is their home away from home for sick kids and their families. The annual mufti day, supported by a number of local schools, will help raise some vital funds to keep this service operating. There are very few facilities like Ronald McDonald House which are accessible for regional families.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

Lastly, I would like to thank the students, staff and parents for a great term. I would like to wish all students a safe and happy holiday and I look forward to a wonderful Term 3. School resumes for students on Tuesday 23rd July. Should you have concerns during the holiday period School Security can be contacted on 1300 880 021.

Have a great week,

Glen Bourke
