Graduation and End of Year Celebration

This year our Graduation Ceremony and end of the year celebration will be held on Wednesday 4th December at the Bridgewater on Loddon Memorial Hall. 

this is an important night for our two Grade 6 students Bruce and Angus who are looking forward to sharing this occasion with the school community, family and friends. 

A flyer with the details of this event will be sent home so please keep an eye out for this. 

We will also be asking families to bring a plate of food to share. 

This is an important event and I would love if we could have as many people there as possible to support our outgoing students an families. 

River Swimming Program: Building Water Confidence in the Loddon River

We're thrilled to bring back our River Swimming Program this year! This program helps students build confidence and essential swimming skills in our local Loddon River, supervised by qualified instructors and school staff.

Students will swim at the Bridgewater Swimming Hole, a short walk from school. Wetsuits and life jackets are provided, though students are encouraged to bring their own to ensure the best fit possible.  

Dates: Monday–Thursday over two weeks:

• Week 1: 25th–28th November
• Week 2: 2nd–5th December

Families are welcome to come down to watch!

 For full details, please refer to the permission slip on uEducateUs.
