Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers

On Tuesday our students attended the Small Schools’ Ath-

letics Carnival at the Tinana Oval. Well done to all of our stu-

dents for getting out there and giving it their best. And a big

congratulations to Ebonie... Age Champion for 9 y/o girls!

Due to a lack of members, our P&C will no longer be func-

tioning as an entity. However, fear not! We see this as an

opportunity as much as it is a challenge. We will be holding

a “Family Coffee Morning” for parents and carers at the start

of every term. This will be an opportunity for our families to

hear about upcoming events, learn about fundraising oppor-

tunities, and let us know how they may wish to help. Partici-

pating parents and carers will also have the opportunity to

consult with us on how Student Council and other fundrais-

ing profits are spent.

How is your child travelling with the Premier’s Reading Chal-

lenge? While P-2 students will be supported at school to record

their progress, Years 3-5 are to record their own reading. Your

support in encouraging your childrens’ continued reading habits

is making a huge difference.

On Tue 22nd June we will be traveling to Maryborough to

enjoy Aldridge State High School’s Beauty and the

Beast Musical. Further information is attached, and permis-

sion slips are due by Wed 16th June.

Things that I am REALLY looking forward to in Term 3:

• Our Welcome Back Breakfast on Monday 12th July. Par-

ents and families are invited to join us for a bite to eat and a

catch up. What a way to begin Term 3!

• Weekly Parades at 2.30pm on Fridays, followed by lolly

bags and other items for sale at the Student Council’s treat

stall!

• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)

innovation. We are part of a brilliant network of small

schools, and have received a grant that will allow us to

borrow an immensely engaging STEM kit each term.

Next term we will have access to five Lego robotics sets!

• Our first Family Coffee Morning on Monday 19th July!

• Our new Playgroup kicking off on Tuesday 20th July!

Kind regards

Darren Cameron
