Flourish

Last week some of our students performed at the Flourish Musical event at Toormina High School. We were super impressed with their performance. The talent that was displayed by Toormina High School and the Bongil Bongil Community of Schools was outstanding!

Year 4 Camp

On behalf of the entire community, a huge thank you to Mr Shipman, Mr Moore, Miss Ross and Mrs Carson-Ower for the outstanding care, effort and energy that has been provided to our 60 Year 4 students over the past 3 days on camp. The Cascade Environmental Education Centre is situated in the beautiful cool temperate rainforest of Cascade, 22 kilometres north east of Dorrigo, NSW. The Year 4 camp provides our students with educational opportunities in environmental sciences, sustainability and connecting with nature.

Tournament of Minds

This Sunday our TOM Team will compete at Coff Harbour Senior College, I got to preview their impressive performance this week and was most impressed with their teamwork, problem solving and enthusiastic presentation. Sincere thanks to Mrs Watt for her excellent leadership in this area of our HPGE work.

Boambee Debating Team

Congratulations to the Boambee Public School Debating team. Under the guidance of Ms Boyd this team has reached the regional finals, finally being knocked out today in a close debate today with Woodburn Public School. The girls made us very proud, becoming the premier debating team for the Mid North Coast.
