PRINCIPALS MESSAGE

This morning I had the pleasure of accompanying our two School Captains,

Dean Vickery and Stelios Charnas, to the Remembrance Day service at Alma

Park. I was extremely proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these two

fine young gentlemen as we remembered those who had made the supreme

sacrifice for us. As always these students presented themselves confidently

and appropriately.

Please note that the next P&C meeting will be a week earlier on

25th November commencing at 5:00pm . The P&C will also be holding a

working bee on Sunday 29th November starting at 8:00am. Remember

“Many hands make light work.”

On Wednesday 25th November, the stu-

dents will be taking part in a free aquatic

safety program called “Bush to Beach.”

LOOK WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING IN LOWER DIVISION

Bella

Students and staff were treated to a

performance by the Chamber music trio from

the New England Conservatorium last Friday.

The musicians demonstrated playing the

cello, flute and piano. It was a wonderful

workshop and the children singing a round in

three parts was delightful.

Remembrance Day Ceremony

This morning we went to the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Alma Park. We laid a wreath at the Memorial Gates and listened to all the speakers and the bugle. We showed respect for all lives lost in battle and all who came back during a minutes silence.

Armidale High Orientation

I had my Armidale High Orientation day last Wednesday and it

was a very educational and fun day. First we had an orientation

in the auditorium and met our teachers and our Year 9 peer

support leaders. We had orienteering around the grounds and

were taught some of the rich history of Armidale High. After

orienteering we sat down in the cooking class room for a finger

bun and watermelon. Following recess we finished our

orienteering and did our taster lesson, mine was Computers.

Then we went to have a sausage sandwich in the auditorium and

some watermelon, we were given options to look at for our

selective categories and after that we went home.
