Good Afternoon Parents/Carers,

Small Schools Soccer Knockout 

11 students from Yrs 4-6 were selected to play in the Small Schools Soccer Knockout in Gunnedah last Friday against Boggabri PS. Congratulations to our team who are through to the next round of competition.  It was a nail-biting game Well done.  I was particularly impressed with how all students conducted themselves with exceptional behaviour.  It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of the day.  Also, thank you to the parents who transported our students.  We would not be able to compete without you.

Winter Illnesses 

With the number of illnesses that are occurring at the moment I would like to thank Parents and Caregivers for actively keeping our school safe and stopping the spread by keeping children home who are unwell.  It is greatly appreciated, and we hope those who are ill recover quickly and return to us soon.
