The Northern School Lamb Competition
The Northern School Lamb Competition held yesterday yielded outstanding results. With participation from 15 schools, 130 sheep, and over 150 students, THS achieved notable successes in various categories, including first place in both heavy and medium weight lambs, as well as earning the titles of champion heavy weight, reserve middle weight, and grand champion pen on the hoof. Additionally, we secured first and second places with our individual lambs. Hook results will be shared once they are received next week.

UNE Excursion
Mrs Clothier and a group of our senior students had a fantastic experience at the University of New England Open Day today. It was a valuable opportunity to explore future pathways and get inspired about life after school. We're so proud of the enthusiasm and curiosity our students brought to the day!
Chess Competition
Congratulations to Charlotte, Alex, Hunter, Finlay, and Coach Mr Tim Everett for their participation in the knockout chess competition in Emmaville on 1 May.
Our THS team achieved a remarkable victory by winning all their matches. Unfortunately, the team was not successful in their next game against Holy Trinity School, Inverell.
The team will play one more game this round. Well done everyone - it is fantastic to have a chess team at the school!
Anzac Day
At Tenterfield High School, we stand united with our community in remembrance and gratitude. Anzac Day is an opportunity for us to teach our students about the importance of service, the cost of freedom, and the power of unity.
We extend our deepest thanks to all veterans and their families for their service. We also acknowledge the strength of our community and the role it plays in fostering the values of respect and remembrance in our young people.
Hats off to Tenterfield for honoring ANZAC Day with pride and respect.
The community spirit always shines through on such important occasions. Well done to students & staff for representing THS on this special day.

Achievement Award
Congratulations to Heather Goulding for being awarded the Seniors Local Achievement Award in recognition of her outstanding volunteer efforts within the Tenterfield community.

These awards are presented locally, enabling Members of Parliament and community members to recognize the positive impact seniors have in their respective areas. Well done Heather!
