Principal’s Report
Yesterday Year 5/6 travelled to Albury to watch the stage
production ‘The Last Soldier’ at the Albury Civic Centre.
Thankyou to our P&C for this wonderful opportunity to
follow up on the ‘Monkey Baa Theatre’ workshop that the
5/6 students participated in. The 5/6 students picked up
some tips from the live performance yesterday that they will
use in their drama production, ‘The Magical Land of Oz’,
next term.
Riverina Cross Country Recount
On Thursday morning my family and I had to wake up at
4am to get ready to leave at 5am in the morning, we were
driving to Gundagai for the Riverina Cross Country. We
only had time to have showers not breakfast because we
were getting breakfast on the way. When we got in the car
we went to sleep because it was too early in the morning.
We arrived at Gundagai Sports Ground and went and
registered for our races. Caleb race started at 11.30am and
my race was at 12.15am. I was feeling nervous the closer
my race came. I made my way to the starting line and did
some stretches. There were 42 girls in my age group. I
th
came 20 and raced the best I could and was exhausted at
rd
the end. Caleb came 23 out of 46. We both had a great
day.

Peer Support
During Peer Support this week, the children will be
discussing and developing ways to be responsible. The
activities will reinforce the concept that being responsible
is doing what we say we will do and to the best of our
ability.
Jump Rope for Heart
On Friday the children demonstrated their skipping skills
at a Jump Rope for Heart exhibition. The audience was
entertained by class performances and individual and
pair skipping routines. The school raised $71.00 in gold
coin donations for the Heart Foundation.
Fruit Break reminder
Just a reminder that all our school from Kinder to Year 5/6
has daily fruit breaks each morning. Students are
encouraged to bring a piece of fruit to eat every day. The
natural sugar in fruit will give students a boost, especially if
they have had an early breakfast.
Work Experience Student
Tom Loats joins us this week from Finley High School as
part of his school's, work experience program. Tom is
enjoying working with our students and staff and being
back in his primary school setting.
P&C Meeting cancelled
Please note, tonight’s P&C meeting has
been cancelled. Next P&C meeting will
be Wednesday 15th July 2015.

Readers for Year 3/4 & 5/6 - Morning Reading Program
Years 3/4 & 5/6 students are continuing a morning reading program. We would like the
students to read for 10-15 minutes each morning.
To ensure the success of this program we are looking for listeners for the students’ reading.
If you are able to pop into the school on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning
for any length of time between 8.30ish and 9.30am to hear students read it would be much
appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
