Elmore Field Day - We need you!

Once again we will support the Elmore field Days as one of our major fundraisers and we have a full allocation of shifts this year - so need twice as many volunteers. The Field Days are on the 6th, 7th & 8th of October. We have short & long shifts and even asked if any one person was available for all 3 days. Shifts could include - food production, food preparation, delivering, serving, cleaning, dish washing, or stationed in the main shed or food van. No experience required. Please contact the office if you or a friend, grandparent or neighbour is able to help us out or go on our emergency list.

Walk Safely to School Day

Thank you to the students who took up the offer to meet and walk to school on Tuesday.

Reconciliation Week

Next week on Wednesday Reconciliation week begin. This is when we commemorate the significant milestones in the reconciliation journey and encourage all Australians to be involved in the process. The theme for this year is all in this together -a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. We will have students participating in the Reconciliation walk in Echuca and all students will participate in discussions and activities in the classrooms.

Cross country

Well done to all students who tried their best at last weeks cross country event in Moama. Thank you to Ms Elborough, Mrs Mangan & Shelley for organising and supporting our students. Good luck to Orly, Ava, and Claire who are participating in the Regional Cross Country competition.

Pupil Free Days in June

The King's birthday holiday is coming up on Monday 8th. Each year schools are granted 5 pupil free days by the Department. Our next Pupil free day is Tuesday 9th June. This is the day we have allocated to Assessment and Reporting. Please note students will not attend classes on the last day of term (Friday 26th June) as we have parent teacher interviews. Students are expected to attend with their parents to the interview. More information regarding booking will be available in the coming weeks.
