A Memorable ANZAC Day Congratulations to all those who marched on the weekend in the ANZAC ceremonies. It is always a beautiful sight seeing those kids who continue to keep the tradition alive. Our school
ceremony was held this morning and again many thanks to Barry McDonald, President of the Returned Servicemen’s sub-branch, Macksville RSL, who continues to support us on this day. There
is always a special feeling when you hear ‘The Last Post’, especially when it is played live. Many thanks to band-master Ian Flarrety.

Congratulations P&C Our Parents and Citizens group is officially up and running with Belinda Hayes taking on the role of President, and Tracey Hicks as Treasurer. Thanks to all our volunteer P&C, who support the school unconditionally. Our P&C are committed to enhancing school life for all of our students. New meeting times are being trialled at 3.30pm on Wednesday May 12 in Mrs Vicario’s room, which has an area for young children to play comfortably. It would be wonderful to see some new faces, so please come along and get involved in your child’s school life in an easy and enjoyable way. Thanks for Donations Many thanks to Mitre 10 Macksville who have donated new lunch boxes for our students’ canteen lunches. Arrival Times at School A gentle reminder to all parents. Some children are arriving at school far too early. Teacher supervision does not start until 8.40, so please do not allow your child/ren to arrive before this time. School Clothing Pool Have you got any MPS school uniforms that are no longer required? Our school clothing pool is running low. Also, if your child needs to borrow clothes while at school, please wash and return to Mrs Langley in the office. The Show Another successful Nambucca Valley Show was also held over the weekend. Meg Ronan and Kirstin Knight put together an excellent public education exhibition that reflected what happens in our school — well done. ~ Ron MacDonald, Relieving Principal

4/5 HT Cooking ~ Did you know that Anzac biscuits were originally called Soldiers Biscuits? On Friday 23rd April 2010, students from 4/5TH put their culinary skills to the test when we made some Anzac biscuits. 3 different groups of students made some yummy biscuits which we gave to Mr Mac for him to judge which biscuit was the tastiest. He could not answer the question – Which is tastier? A crunchy or chewy Anzac biscuit? as all our biscuits were delicious!

Last weeks auditions r e v e a l e d t h e determination and enthusiasm of twelve of our kids who want to take part in this exciting competition.

News From Kat & Kirstin In The LCC
Homework Heroes Stop homework hassles!!
Send the kids along on Wednesdays after school (til 4:15pm) to the LCC. They’ll get encouragement and help to
complete their work and hand it in on time.
The kids love helping & encouraging each other and with numbers
growing every week, this is proving to be a really popular way to get their homework done.
Are your kids doing something fabulous outside of school?
Won a ribbon for horse riding? Got a ‘4’ at cricket? Got a ‘birdie’ in golf? Caught a big fish? Been away for motocross? We would love to
start a column that highlights the wonderful things that our kids get up to or achieve outside of school. What have your kids done to make you
proud? Send in a story or photo to get us started! It doesn’t have to be super amazing, just something you’d like to share.
[email protected] or [email protected]
The LCC has six new computers that are all linked to our wireless network. Internet is accessible and quite fast! Could you use them for assignments? Job applications? Or creating your resume? If so, talk to us about when it might suit best.
Relay For Life
We are so proud of all the adults and children from our school who will be participating in this event! Kim & Kim came to speak with our Student Rep Council (SRC) who are now getting behind the project by helping to make posters and getting the word around to ensure lots of $2 sandwiches are purchased. The SRC will be helping to make and distribute the yummies at lunchtime (1.20pm) this Friday. This offers our kids and you the chance for something
a little different for lunch whilst supporting a worthy cause. Bring the whole family!
Why not join us for a sausage sanga???
