Dear Parents and Kingstown

Community,

Last week was a great one for

the students! Zac Russ from

Rugby Australia, visited our

school last Thursday and once

again delivered excellent skill

sessions for both Upper and

Lower Division students. Zac’s

sessions are always impressive,

as he consistently reinforces

listening skills, manners, team

work and good sportsmanship,

along with the ball skills.

Last Wednesday, Katrina as-

sessed all the students on their

foundation gymnastic skills. Stu-

dents have really enjoyed these

sessions with Katrina. Their

tumbling and cartwheels have

greatly improved!

It’s really happening!

Mr Lake and students are

making a movie!

Credit goes to Royden

Lake

Well, we all know when

Royden starts to think

about a project, it’s going

to be a good one! He seems

to also, have the knack of

involving professionals.

Last animation we had the

news reader. This time, he

didn’t get Spielberg, but

we did obtain Lou Danieli

(just as good!) from Danieli

Studios and Gary Fry who

will be the sound recorder.

Mr Danieli is coming out

this Thursday to help stu-

dents film their Dream-

time Story. We thank him

very much for giving up his

time and sharing his expe-

rience with our students.

We would like to thank

Royden, once again, for all

his behind the scenes plan-

ning and effort outside

school. It’s greatly appre-

ciated, Royden!

Welcome Back, Lyndie!

This Friday, I will be at-

tending a Principal Meeting

at Ben Lomand and Mr

Bock will also be away.

Mrs Skewes and Ms Prestige

will be taking our classes.

Skip Rope for Heart will still

be on this Friday. Students

have been enjoying practice

sessions with the Skip Rope

music all week.

Year 5/6 students from

many local schools, including

Uralla, Bendemeer, Ken-

tucky, Kelly’s Plains, Armi-

dale and Black Mountain will

be attending the overnight

camp on Thursday/Friday of

the last school week this

term (next week) at “The

Hill,” a property at Ken-

tucky.

A note was sent home yes-

terday with year 5 and 6

students. In order for the

children to arrive at the

camp on time, the bus will

depart Kingstown at 8.30

am, year 5 & 6 students at-

tending the camp need to be

Thursday, 20th, October.

Please contact the school if

this is not possible.

Well, just look at those

the BER classroom, aren’t

they beauties! Thanks so

much John Beynon for your

welding and drilling skills!

Great job! Thank you also,

to the on looking support

team!
