GIFT FROM FATHER JOSEPH
Yesterday our school community acknowledged
Father Joseph’s 10th anniversary of priesthood at a
special assembly. Father Joseph was very touched
by this event and expressed great gratitude for all
the prayers, messages and the gift that was
presented to him. In return Father has a small gift for
each student at the school. These bookmarks will be
sent home today.

FOOTY TIPPING UPDATE
Footy tipping for 2010 is more than half way through
already! Some tipsters are doing better than a
Michael Barlow style debut year while other’s
chances of success are looking more glum than a
Manager’s task of renegotiating a Worsfold coaching
contract.
Out in front after 12 weeks on 67 correct tips are the
Pollard Gang, who also took out the best total for
weeks 1-7. Hot on the Gang’s tail on 66 are Bijoux
Boys (Devlin), Rhinos (Ashlee and Matthew Ryan),
Stuart McCormack, the Fallows Kids and Mr Hignett.
In the weeks 8-15 competition, Rhinos are way out in
front and will be hard to beat with 3 rounds to play on
29. Those with a chance in 2nd spot on 27 are Mr
Hignett, Blueboy, McIntosh Family, Go the Vics and
Krummies.
Weekly winners from weeks 7-12 have been:
Week 7 – Your very competent footy tipping
administrator (ably assisted by the Cutler kids)
Week 8 – Blueboy (George)
Week 9 – Stuart McCormack
Week 10 – Rhinos (Ryan)
Week 11 – Griswalds (Lawler)
Week 12 – McIntosh family
Hignett Watch:
Despite 2 weeks getting oh so close and finishing 2nd,
number of victories so far in 2010 – 0.
Good luck
Michael Cutler

the Bali children for all the wonderful toys, books,

life so much more enjoyable at school.
