Small Schools’ Athletics Carnival

On a day of bleak weather, students found the fortitude to participate in the Small Schools’ Athletics Carnival in Dubbo where they competed against Eumungerie, Wongarbon, Geurie, Ballimore, Mumbil, Stuart Town, Dubbo Distance Education. Congratulations to the students who participated to the best of their ability and earned points for Tooraweenah Public School. Our Relay Team, consisting of Darcy Holland, Brock Trickey, Taylor McDonell and Lexi Trickey placed first against the other P6 Small Schools (Ballimore, Stuart Town, Mumbil and Eumungerie) and we look forward to hearing confirmation that they will progress through to the Western PSSA Athletics Trials in Dubbo on 13th September. The Tooraweenah P&C Assoc. operated the canteen on the day and raised a substantial amount of money for the P&C. Thank you to all parents and grandparents who helped out on the day. It was certainly a hive of activity in the canteen. Thank you to Cherie McWhirter for coordinating the band of helpers and supplies for the day.

Safe, Respectful Achievers
