Principal’s Report
It was good to see the dust se le around the region with some
widespread rain over the weekend. Temperatures look good for the
remainder of the week in the low 20's.
Good luck to Cooper Herden and Joe Furphy heading off to
compete in the NSW PSSA State Athle cs Championships this week.
Joe will compete in the 800m whilst Cooper will compete in the
100m. It’s a great achievement to compete at state level and I am
sure they will do well.
Tomorrow is Melbourne Cup Day and our School Captains, Sophie and Josie, have organised a
Melbourne Cup dress up theme day for Tuesday. Cup day is an Australian tradi on and it’s
good to see our students celebrate this event and con nue to build our sense of belonging.
This Thursday the whole school will come together in a closed assembly to listen to the 2020
school Captain speeches. It is a privilege to be chosen as school captain and it carries the
responsibility of your school as you set the standard of leadership. I encourage all our
students to explore leadership possibili es and put yourself forward to be involved. Nothing
great comes without risk.
This Friday I will be a ending the Victor Chang awards with Jack McCormack and Stephanie
Derrick in Wagga Wagga. The Victor Chang Awards are for recogni on of those excelling in
Science. Well done to Jack and Stephanie.
Mrs Drumore and myself will be absent tomorrow to a end a State Access Leadership Team
mee ng in Sydney. We will be back on Wednesday.

Infants Excursion
On Wednesday 23rd October, Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 all travelled to Wagga for
their annual excursion. Our first stop was the Bidgee Strawberry and Cream Farm! Here
we had recess while Michael, the owner told us how he grows the strawberries. We went
on a walk through the hydroponic strawberries and were even lucky enough to pick a
couple of our own to eat. We were shown where the bees were kept to help the
strawberries grow and also shown a very old tree where the Aborigines had carved out a
canoe. We were told this tree was over 400 years old. To finish the strawberry farm off,
we were given a scoop of homemade strawberry ice cream and some strawberries to
enjoy.
Next stop – Botanical Gardens! It was lovely to have lunch here and have me to play on
the equipment, where we were able to prac se our PBL skills of ‘We use equipment safely
and fairly’ outside of school. To top the day off, we walked through the zoo to see the
animals that were kept there. The peacocks were spectacular.
Thank you to all the teachers and aides who helped on the day and a special thanks to the
bus drivers, Nodsa and Tara!
