Dear Parents and Friends,

Sub Zero

What a beautiful horse Sub Zero is. He visited Edward

School on Friday morning along with his owner and two ladies from Racing Victoria. The horse has been visiting

schools in Deniliquin as part of Racing Victoria’s education and careers information sessions. The K-Year 4 students

were fascinated by the information they learnt about horse

anatomy, diet and behaviour. Even the adults who attended learnt lots of new things, such as the size of a horses lungs,

how they can only breath through their mouth and they have a special tendon that locks their legs straight to allow

them to stand while they sleep. For a 26 year old horse Sub

Zero leads a charmed life.

Tuppal Food and Fibre Festival Stage 3 students had an interesting and fun packed day at

Tuppal Woolshed last Friday. They had the opportunity to

learn about how our food and fibre for clothing is produced and try the hands on activities available, such as milking the

‘cow’.

Over 2000 students from around the district and beyond

were in attendance, making for a busy time for all. The launch of our CMA Creative Catchment Kids Project ‘

Local Land Hero’ book was very successful. We are very proud of Shannon King, Fihar Fagiri, Hayden Kelvy and Aden

Bermingham who wrote and illustrated it, with the able assistance of Mrs Jacobs. The schools who participated in

the project have been given an electronic copy of each

school’s book to share. This will be a very valuable resource for Edward School students.

Stage 3 Canberra Excursion

The Year 5 and 6 students and teachers were waved off at a very early hour this morning, no doubt very excited. They

have a jam packed schedule of activities and visits planned

for the 4 day excursion, including visiting the War Memorial, the Mint, Cockington Green and Parliament House. The

students have had many weeks of intensive learning about Australia’s parliamentary system and are looking forward to

visiting Parliament House and meeting Susan Ley.

Island Sanctuary The Stage 1 students will be visiting Yarkuwa on Thursday

this week as part of the Wamba Wamba Perrapa Perrapa week celebrations. They will join a tour through the Island

Sanctuary to learn about native plants and their uses and engage in cultural craft activities. The visit is always

informative.
