Long Weekend

I hope everyone had a great weekend and had the opportunity to relax and spend quality time with family and friends.

Swimming

Students enjoyed another Aqua Fitness session last Wednesday. Miss Sarah will be leading another session on Thursday Remember to bring your swimmers, towel water bottle and thongs.

Ride to School

Students enjoyed riding their bikes and roller blading at lunchtime last Thursday.

We raised $105 last Thursday for research into blood cancer. (Our target was $100). Thank you for your donations and a special thank you to a community member who donated but didn’t want her hair coloured.

African Drumming

Ali Lloyd (Mental Health Professional from RFDS) entertained our students with some African Drumming last Thursday. We are keen to purchase our own drums and have Ali visit regularly to work with the students.

SAM Position

Sadly Miss Sarah is leaving our school and moving to Mildura. Her position is being advertised (see attachment), applications close on 3rd April.

Corona Virus

Due to the Corona Virus my Principals Meeting has been cancelled this week. The Year 6 Coaching Camp has been postponed to a date to be announced. The Music Festival has been cancelled so the P&C will not be catering on the Friday night. Schools have been advised not to have Assemblies so there will be NO Assembly this week.
