Kindergarten Excursion

Tomorrow Kindergarten will be going on their end of year excursion. They will go to Campbell Park for Fruit break, walk to the Fire Station and learn about fire safety and end the morning at the Inverell Town Pool. Students will return to school for snack at 1:00pm.

Year 3 Excursion

On Wednesday Year 3 will be going Kayaking at Lake Inverell. Hopefully the weather will be more accommodating this time! Students will paddle across the Lake and up the Macintyre River 4km. On the way up the river they will see pelicans, sea eagles and two sea eagles nest plus a variety of birds. The whole area is a bird sanctuary. They will have a BBQ lunch then head back down the river and lake before coming back to school. Students can wear plain clothes, need to be wearing sunscreen and can bring a water bottle on the day.

Plain Clothes - Friday

On Friday the children from K-6 may wear plain clothes to school. Please make sure they have comfortable footwear for playing in the playground during breaks and that all clothes have their name on them
