Term 4 Week 10 10th December, 2013

Our annual Presentation Assembly is one of the highlights of our school year. Yesterday’s assembly provided us with the opportunity to acknowledge exceptional achievements by many of our boys and girls and to share the occasion with family, friends and community members. Of special note this year were the following awardees: Mel McDonald Award for Excellence in Service Eric Regalado John Pattison Mathematics Award Johnny Wu Rooty Hill High School Scholarship Award Natalie Lupton Ed Husic Chifley Achievement Award Aidan Goundar It was, as always, an absolute pleasure to be able to announce the names of our student leadership team for 2014. This year, Prefect positions were hotly contested – the standard of applications was outstanding. Congratulations to: Captains: Jessica Byrne & Justice Sene Vice Captains: Divina Ambat & Zane Catlett Prefects: Natarlia Fraser, Monique Powell, Jade Ratanasirilak, Emily Rough, Benjamin Curmi, Aidan Goundar, Tony Lee & Kobe Lepua.

It would be remiss of me at this point not to acknowledge our 2013 Prefects & Captains for their exceptional work. They did a fine job of leading yesterday’s assembly, one of their last formal duties for the year.

Last Wednesday 4th December, Year 6 students went to Blacktown Aquatic Centre with

students from other schools for their annual Gala Day. They rotated through many

activities such as lawn bowls, table tennis, basketball, soccer, wave pool, jumping

aquatic castle and swimming. The students met many new faces that they will be going

to school with next year and made many new friends as well as meeting their Grade

Supervisor and some of their future teachers. A good day was had by all and there were

a lot of tired children on the bus ride back to school.
