3-6 House Cross Country
What a glorious morning we had for the Middle & Senior House Cross Country last Friday,
running through parts of the school and Yarrunga with distances of 3000m and 2000m.
The atmosphere was buzzing with lots of encouragement from the side-lines.
Congratulations to everyone on their efforts and trying their best for themselves and their house.
The winning house this year was Campaspe.🟦
We would like to thank all the parents/carers and staff who helped volunteer their time on the day to make the event run smoothly. A special thank you to Stuart Kingma and Chris Broadhurst for leading the races so we didn’t get lost.

Our Book Fair is coming up!
Our school Book Fair will run in the Library from Monday 19th May to Friday 23rd May. A range of books from one of our suppliers, Lamont Books, will be on display in the Library and are available for purchase. This is a great fundraising opportunity for our school. Opening times for the Book Fair are below:
Monday 19/5 8.30 - 9.30am
Tuesday 20/5 8.30 - 9.30am and 2.30 – 4.00pm

Thursday 22/5 8.30 - 9.30am
Friday 23/5 8.30 - 9.30am
Some of these times are designed so that you can come in without children if you would like to purchase the books as gifts. Other times are designed so that you can come in with your child before or after school. EFTPOS, cash sales and online orders are available.
We are also asking for parent volunteers to help out with selling at this year’s Book Fair. If you can give half an hour of your time please email jessica.ward@education.vic.gov.au. Library staff will be at all sessions to explain how things work.
More details to follow next week!
