Dear Parents and Carers,
Education Week
Today we commenced Education Week with our Open Classrooms.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who to visit. The children
love to see their family members in the classroom. On Wednesday,
we have our Infants and Primary Choirs singing in the Choral
Festival at the Musician’s Club. Details are on the following page.
PSSA Athletics
On Thursday afternoon, the field events for the Broken Hill
Athletics Carnival will be held at Picton Oval commencing at
3.30pm. Parents will need to take their children to the Picton Oval
after school if they are participating in any field events.
Track events will be held on Friday and students competing will
travel to and from the Picton Oval by bus. Permission notes must
be returned if your child is participating in track or field.
Let’s hope it will warm up a bit for both of these events!

their uniforms every day. Keep it up.

you to our school community for supporting these two events.
