ANZAC DAY ASSEMBLY On Friday 13 April, students reflected on the contribu on and sacrifice made by Australians and New Zealanders in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping opera ons during the ANZAC As‐sembly. ANZAC Day is our chance to honour those who have fallen and those who have served in the armed forces. ANZAC Day is our chance to say thank you. It is our responsibility as Australian ci zens to remember them. We will remember them. A great effort by the School Captains and some members of the SRC team who helped com‐memorate ANZAC DAY and all that it repre‐sents.

OPEN GIRLS SOCCER On Wednesday 1st May the Open Girls soccer team took on Murrumburrah at O’Connor Park. The game was ghtly fought with possession being even through‐out the game. Defence from both teams was excellent and meant that there were few opportuni es to score. It took un l 10 minutes into the second half for a goal to be scored. Anisa Rees got around the keeper and put the ball into the bo om right hand corner of the net. For the rest of the game Murrumburrah created scoring opportuni es only to be turned away by excel‐lent defence from Ma lda McPherson, Michaela Webb, Stevie Hartshorn and Brooke and Breanna Logue. The score remained at 1‐0 at full me. All of the girls displayed excellent team work and sportsmanship and should all be proud of their efforts. A big thank‐you also to Connor Thornley for officia ng the game, and doing a fantas c job.

WAGGA TOUCH CARNIVAL Cootamundra High School sent a 9/10 boys and 9/10 girls team to the Wagga Touch Carnival on Friday the 6th of April.
