Dear Parents,

The school has certainly been busy and a hive of activity over the last couple of weeks. Our Year 3 students celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation and our Infants entertained the community and sang at our local Biggest Morning Tea.  Our Year 5/6 students participated whole heartedly in the Mortimer Legends Day and all students ran, jumped and threw at our Athletics Carnival.  

Little Learners

Last Friday we welcomed over twenty little learners to the first of five Term 2 Friday morning sessions. The theme for this was Let’s Get Active!  The learning hub was filled with stories, dancing, laughter, fun and games! Many thanks to Sam Johnson for leading and organising and the Year 5 students who capably assisted. This week's theme is Dinosaurs. 

Athletics Carnival

Our Athletics carnival was a huge success. Many thanks to our organisers, Mr Makeham Mrs Howe and Mrs Eccleston for making sure the day ran smoothly. Thank you to all our parent volunteers who assisted on the day with timekeeping and field events. Your help is very much appreciated. The sunshine and warm weather topped off the day and congratulations to the children on their participation in all events. Donovan made it three in a row and was awarded champion house!  The next level Western Region will be held in Temora on 21  June.

Public Speaking Class Representatives

We would like to congratulate all students from Year 3 to 6 for presenting speeches to their class last week.  Speaking in front of the class can be most daunting for some, but teachers have reported the standard was high and commended all students for their enthusiasm and courage.

Congratulations to the following students who gained the highest marks to progress to the next level against McAuley Tumut.

Year 3 - Kaydee Smith and Lane Johnson

Year 4 - Reuben Smart and Jimmy Robinson

Year 5 - Indi Cole and Eliza Graham

Year 6 - Christyne Calub and Taite Johnson

Staying Up To Date On School Events and Happenings

Our school communicates numerous key events to parents through the fortnightly newsletter and COMPASS email notifications.  It is vital as these are published to note the relevant dates on your family calendars and respond to COMPASS in a timely manner to give permission for your child to participate in events. Staying on top of school information and being aware of these makes everyone’s life much easier and ensures smooth runnings for your child/children. 

We look forward to welcoming Mrs Baron back next week and hearing all about her overseas holiday news.
