Welcome to Week 10.

What a busy term – our students have once

assisted us with coaching, travel, canteens and

fundraising within our hardworking P&C

NRMA safety day- this is a wonderful

opportunity for our students to increase their

knowledge of road safety and we thank the

NRMA for providing this normally $2500

program free of charge!

Tomorrow we have our recognition assembly

and congratulations to the students who are

receiving awards.

Wednesday is our Fete- from 1.00pm -

Our students thoroughly enjoyed meeting and listening to this very entertaining author last week. Not only is john an author, he also has a rural background so easily related to his audience with his funny stories about paddock-bashers, mice and farm dogs. However, john doesn’t just write stories based on his farming experiences. This extensive genre range appeals to everyone and many students also took the opportunity to purchase one of his books and have it personally signed. We are very grateful, once again, to Cathy at the Town Library and the Bland Shire council for organising the visit. The “buzz” around school amongst the students since meeting John is proof that these visits are beneficial, motivation and really work.

Children from Kindergarten to Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed the Hands-On Maths activities presented by “WORLD OF MATHS”. The activity stations included lots of measuring, manipulation of shapes, finding patterns in numbers, logical thinking, problem solving and FUN!
