School swimming Carnival: Our school swimming carnival was held at Cowra Pool on Wednesday February 8 due to our pool being out of action. The students competed enthusiastically and were a credit to our school. Thanks to all the parents that helped out on the day and to Mrs Kilby for her organisation. At the end of competition Jethro Fenton and Mikaela Hughes were our Junior Champions, Will Johnson and Lynda Hucker were our 11 years Champions and Riley Aspin and Taylor Keppie were our Senior Champions. The winning house was Lawson, breaking an 8-year drought. It was a great carnival and now we will get ready for the district carnival which will be held in Cowra on Tuesday February 21.
Start to the year: Kindergarten have settled in well to the school year. Teachers have organised their planning and learning goals with their class and have also sent a letter home to parents, outlining the main topics that will be studied in the key learning areas of Literacy, Maths, Science and Geography, Classroom structures and general expectations. A parent information evening will be held on Monday February 27 to allow teachers and parents to communicate about the start of the year and discuss learning goals for 2017.
