WOW! That's the only word I can use to describe the Musicale! Congratulations to all students and staff for putting on such a wonderful performance. Your dedication certainly paid off. It was great to see our Bongil Bongil schools coming together to promote not only the value of public education, but also to display the amazing array of talent our staff and students have!! Special mention to Ms Nitschke for coordinating our students in the drumming, dance and singing groups as well as conducting the choir at the performances. Well done Boambee!! I hope you can join us at the NAIDOC celebrations next week. In particular, we have our BBQ and opening ceremony on Monday, with activities planned for Wednesday. Parents are most welcome to join us. The coffee van will also be here again on Wednesday morning from 8-10am - come along, have a chat and a coffee on us! I'm looking forward to the Athletics Carnival on Tuesday - good luck to all students competing! Enjoy the weekend. Brad Lyne - Principal Disco Today Year 5 and 6 held a disco for Kindy to Year 6. All the students had a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone who donated a gold coin on this day. We raised $354.00 to help with the Year 5 and 6 Excursion.
