Principal’s Report: I.N.O.K.T.B.A.:
To celebrate fantastic student
attendance this year there will
be two free excursions to the
Mildura Aqua Coaster next
Tuesday. Students with 96%
attendance or better for the
year will soon receive
invitations to attend.
Students in P-3 will depart at
10.00am. Students in grades
4-6 will depart at 11.00am.
In all a total of 88 students
qualified for this free
excursion.
I again apologise to those
students who missed out by
only one or two days, and to
those students who were away
for genuine reasons, but I can
make no exceptions to the rule.

Special Religious Instruction:
After a very long history, Christian Special Religious
Instruction classes in State Primary Schools in the Red
Cliffs area will cease at the end of this school year, as
lessons are no longer permitted to be taught in class
time. Your child’s religious instruction will now only
be provided out of school hours and will be available
in the churches in Red Cliffs.
Christian programs available for primary school
children are: After school once a week: The Salva-
tion Army (Tues) and Church of Christ (Wed) and
Holiday Program in January: At the Church of Christ,
see flyer.
Bible story books have been donated to the school
library and are available for the children to borrow.
