MS Readathon

Congratulations to our students in the MS Readathon who have raised $858 during the month of August reading over 80 books.

Our Two Top Fundraisers were Oliver Courtney (Kindergarten) and Isaac Cockayne (Year 4). Well done, what fantastic effort!

Congratulations to Nestor (Year 3P) and Sophie (Year 4N) who competed in the State Finals of the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee, unfortunately they didn’t progress to the National Final, congratulations on being State Finalists! 

Good luck to our Stage Two Representatives who will be competing in the Inter-Schools Public Speaking competition next Wednesday at St Catherine’s Gymea.
