Congratulations to all the students who had work entered

into the 2019 Mildura Show. I was very proud to enter the

students’ work and see how excited they were to see their

work on display.

Special congratulations to all the students who received a

certificate and ribbon for their work as these students were

competing against other schools in the Sunraysia area. All

the students should be really proud of their effort and

standard of work. Currently the work is on display in the

hallway near the Grade 3/4 classes. Parents, family and

carers are more than welcome to come along and have a

look over the next week before the work is sent home.
