Dear parents and carers,

The modified Cross Country race brought such excitement and joy for all children. The level of participation was outstanding with every child performing their personal best. The age champions for 2020 are: 12 yrs Lacey; 11 yrs Lance and Ruby H; 10 yrs Eamon and May; 8/9 yrs Emma and Lucas and our 5/6/7 yrs champions were Rachael and Lyric. The winning team for 2020 by the hair of their chinny chin chin, was Grey Gums! Congratulations to Golden Wattle for the excellent competition! Modified school reports have been sent home and are to be followed up with parent, student and teacher meetings to review and set new learning goals and to update our understanding of each child’s wellbeing. Parents are asked to share the report with students to help set new learning and improvement goals. Working Bee is being planned for Monday 6 July from 10.00am. Are you able to help? We want to lay some pavers, spread woodchips and work in the top vegetable garden. Please bring wheelbarrows, garden tools and gloves. THANK YOU!!

We are all looking forward to the Athletics events tomorrow. The field events - Long Jump, High Jump, Discus and Shotput will be held from 9.30 for children 8yrs to 12 yrs. If you are able to help us to set up from 8.00am that would be awesome. The younger children will come across at 12.30 for the track events. Golden Wattles will be keen to come back against the defending champion Grey Gums. We will have fun with lots of team spirit as every child participates to achieve a personal best.

Your support for the P&C Fundraiser Wood Raffle is very much appreciated. All money and tickets (sold and unsold) should be returned to the office for the draw on Friday 3 July. Thank you so much to Greg Heffernan and Tim Collins for organizing the wood delivery and Natasha Anderson for organizing the tickets. Congratulations to Lacey who sold the most books of tickets and Brianna, second. The lucky winner of the ticket sellers draw will be announced tomorrow. Thank you to the many families who supported the Cubby House design Competition. We will review all of the entries during the holidays with Henry Grose to come up with the design to be implemented in Term 3. The winner will be announced next term.
