Students enjoy a day out in Temora On Monday we went for a whole school excursion to Temora. Our Kindergarten 2020 orientation students joined us for the day. Students enjoyed visiting the Temora Rural Museum and seeing all the different exhibits. They also had the opportunity to view the art work in the travelling Bald Archy Exhibition. In a practical Mathematics lesson, students had the opportunity to shop, with a set budget, for their Secret Santa presents and order and add up the cost of their lunches at the White Rose Café. The students displayed commendable behaviour during the excursion.
Volunteers needed to help decorate Hall and backdrops Our annual Presentation Night will be held next Friday 13th December. There are still a lot of things to organise between now and then. We are looking for keen volunteers to help with the backdrop painting and hall decorations. Please contact the school or one of our P & C members if you are able to assist.
Eddy the Elf returns to the school The students were very excited to see Eddy the Elf back at school this week. Sometimes Eddy gets up to mischief during the night. It is always exciting for the students to come in each morning and discover what Eddy has been doing in their absence.
