South Spelling Bee Congratulations to all the students who participated in the school’s modified spelling bee at the end of last term. Both divisions enjoyed enthralling contests, with students going head to head, spelling difficult and interesting words. Junior Section: 1st Jya Wade 2nd Gabriella Crothers Senior Section: 1st Harry Campbell 2nd Max Ferguson All students who participated received an honour card. Bush Poetry under the COLA On Thursday 17th September, 6 of our budding Yr 6 students, Abbey Doncon, Ava Richards, Saskia Malin, Brooklyn Barnes, Mya Crampton and Keely Hussey performed a selection of Australian poems for Mr Alec Allitt and Mr David Schoeffel under the COLA. The feedback from Mr Allitt and Mr Schoeffel was both encouraging and constructive. It was a terrific afternoon with Mr Allitt performing a verse from the Man from Snowy river. Thank you to Miss Kerry for supporting our young poets and for instilling in them a love and an appreciation of the power of words. MaraFun School Based Fundraiser What an exciting event, our inaugural MaraFun fundraiser turned out to be, with students raising funds of in excess of $15,000. It would be true to say that we are beyond words and incredibly humbled by the generosity of our school community.

Huge thanks to Miss Kerry for coordinating the event and to Deniliquin Showcase Jewellers for the generous donation of 6 Cactus sports watches. Hats in the Playground The spring weather has arrived. As part of our Sun Smart policy broad brimmed hats are to be worn by students whilst playing outdoors. Remember the school rule, ‘No hat, play in the shade’.

Hi everyone,

We are going to celebrate Book Week in Week 5, Term 4, Friday 13th November. We have pushed it back in the hope that we are able to have the Book Fair.

We have booked a virtual incursion with Tony Bones, Books to Life. The performance is on the Book 'Hello Lighthouse' which is a 2020 CBCA short-listed Picture Book of the year and was the 2019 Caldecott Medal winner (Americas Book Week). The school is going to cover the cost of the performance.

The theme for Book Week this year is, 'Curious Creatures, Wild Minds', children can come dressed up as a curious creature or as their favourite book character.

Thank you

Jenny Adamson Library Teacher
