Term 4 Week 7
21 November 2012
Dear Parents
What a great turnout and involvement our school had at
the 'Seaside Carnivale' last Sunday. Our 'Skool of
Rock', Koori dance group, competition prize winners, in
cupcakes, colouring comp, pet parade, bike decorating,
our flashmob dance, games stall and ‘Welcome to
Country’ by Donna Dixon. WOW!!! Our children and
staff shone. Thanks parents/carers for your support.
Congratulations to Isabella Insley, Treigh Stewart and
Brooke Dixon who were all presented with awards at
the Illawarra South East Aboriginal Awards Ceremony
on Monday. The guest speaker was Christine Anu who
also sang 'My Island Home'. Brilliant.
A number of our Year 5 students gave speeches on
Monday hoping to be part of our Leadership team for
2013. The speeches were impressive and all should be
proud of themselves. All will be revealed at the senior
presentation night. Very exciting.
We already have 80 children enrolled in Kindergarten
for 2013. These enthusiastic young learners are
currently enjoying our transition program and looking
forward to 'big school'.
Year 6 are off to Sydney next week for their
excursion. We will be camping on Cockatoo Island and
waking up each morning with a view of the harbour and
the bridge. We will also be jet boat riding, going to
Taronga Park Zoo and Luna Park (to name a few). A
tough gig, but hey someone has to do it!
