Prep Cricket Clinic

A BIG thank you to Darren Cockroft from the Macleod Cricket Club for organising and running a free Cricket Blast clinic for our prep classes. The enthusiasm Darren brought to the clinic was infectious, and it's clear that his passion for cricket inspired our students.

The clinic provided a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn the basics of cricket in a fun and engaging environment. They thoroughly enjoyed the activities, and many are excited to explore cricket further.

Thank you once again, Darren, for your dedication and for making this experience enjoyable for our students! We look forward to more cricketing adventures in the future!

Chicken Update

Hi to the school community.

I have some more sad news to report. Unfortunately Blizzard died on the school holidays.

This is very sad news. Along with Shadow, she was much loved chicken and lots of the kids reported her as their favourite.

She was a beautiful chicken, and I chose her amongst a truck load, when the school purchased her. She was standing still and serene in amongst about 30 fidgeting chickens.

In her final days, she was looked after by a parent from the school who is also a vet but unfortunately, she passed away after just over a week.

We are all feeling sad about Blizzard and Shadow dying. If any children would like to talk to me about them, I will be in the school garden at 2 o’clock this Friday (tomorrow), to chat about the chickens.

Cheers Jackie.
