Year 6 Shine at the Gunnedah Eisteddfod
Every one of our Year 6 students is to be highly commended for their outstanding efforts at the recent Gunnedah Eisteddfod. Stepping onto a public stage to perform can be a daunting task, especially when working in pairs, but our students rose to the occasion beautifully. They did a fantastic job presenting their "poems for two," demonstrating excellent public speaking skills, teamwork, and confidence.
We are incredibly proud of how well they represented our school. Thank you to the teachers and families who supported them in preparing for this event, and congratulations to all of our Year 6 performers on a wonderful achievement!
