Principal’s Message

Welcome back to Term 4. This term is set to be a very busy one with a great number of fun learning opportunities for students and fundraising activities for the whole community. The excitement of term 4 has already begun with our year 5 and 6 students travelling to Berry Sport and Recreation Camp last week. All students had a magnificent time and came back to school with plenty of stories of their adventures. By all reports they represented our school with pride and were outstanding participants in all the challenges that they were faced with. Congratulations Yrs. 5&6. This Saturday is our Pheazal Festival and there is a great deal of buzz around the local area about the event. We are really looking forward to a fantastic day to raise money for our school and drought relief. If you are able to help out for an hour or so on our stall please let me know. Coming up in November we have our first Colour Fun Run. We are encouraging all children from sporting clubs in and around Yass to attend, to help with the fundraising efforts. Entry
