Joke of the Week

It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection.

Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him.

When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd,

pushed her aside, and said,

"It's all right honey, I've had a course in first aid."

The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer artificial respiration.

At this point she tapped him on the shoulder and said,

"When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here."

New Veggie Patch!

Have you visited our beautiful new garden next to the Yr 5/6 classroom?

A huge THANK YOU goes out to the wonderful students from Emmaus College who created our new vegetable garden. In the last week of Term 3, a group of Yr 12 students (lead by their teacher, Mr Scott Eddington, and Maree from Bunnings) cleared out the space, built raised garden beds and planted a wide range of vegetables and herbs. The whole area is thriving and we are so excited to see everything growing so well. They have transformed the area into a lovely, relaxing place to sit in and enjoy. We are looking forward to harvesting some delicious things to eat over the coming months, including lemons and olives!

Thank you to Bunnings for providing the garden beds and plants and to the students and teachers at Emmaus College for all of their dedication and hard work.
