Year 5-6 Camp

What a wonderful experience it was spending time with our year 5-6 students on camp. The students showed enthusiasm, a willingness to try new things and great teamwork. They were courteous to each other and camp staff, thanking staff for meals and activities. They participated in bike riding, hut building, possum glider, rescuing  GI Jane, canoeing, the maze, campfire and making s’mores and lots more. Thanks to Alana Tavcar for organising and leading the camp experience for year 5-6 students. Thanks also to Paula Hamilton and Sue Pattinson for supporting and of course the camp Weekaway staff, who looked after us so well.

P & F Working Bee

A huge thank you to Carlo Piccolo for organising the family working bee and to all the families that attended and helped out on the weekend. The courtyard garden looks amazing, with so many beautiful native plants. This area looks so inviting and many students love to spend time in the courtyard. Special thanks to Troy Walters for his handy work in lifting up the old broken mosaic tiles in the oval corner garden. Our student voice group is working with Mrs Renehan on ideas for improving this garden area. Our school is so appreciative of the support from families.
