Welcome to Week 4. Thank you to those who attended our Book Week character parade. Everyone looked fabulous!!! It was a lovely morning and was great to see so many parents taking an interest in their child’s education. Thanks to Mrs Emma Speedy for her effort in organising the book fair, it was well attended and we raised quite a substantial amount of money for our library.    

Well done to Meila and Indi Fair, Mae Dean and Louis Morton who represented the Western Region at the Canberra Goulburn Cross Country Championships at Stromlo in Canberra. More information and results will be shared later in the newsletter.

Our Year 5 and 6 students will travel to Temora on Wednesday to represent the school in the Mortimer Shield. We wish them luck.

Over the past few weeks students in Years 3 to 6 engaged in the system wide assessment schedule by completing the Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT). I look forward to analysing the results with our teachers and discussing the effectiveness of the programs taught in the upper years.

Last week, on Friday, Tracey Robertson spent some time with myself and others videoing our fabulous school for our website. The video was easy to create as there are so many great things to show off about our school. I look forward to sharing the finished product with you!!

Two weeks ago, Anne Cooper from Temora visited our school to take some photos of our fantastic staff, students and school. The pictures have just arrived and are great! A select few have been added to this newsletter. This week will feature Kinder. Keep an eye out for more!!

Remember my door is always open.
