Welcome to the final newsletter for the term! The team wishes everyone a happy and safe term 3 holidays! Well done to everyone who played in and supported the Horsham District finals, and good luck to everyone playing in the District League this weekend! Massive shout out not just to the students involved, but to all the parents who give their endless support.

Incredible work from Ella Schultz who got best and fairest in the netball
In the Wimmera league, Luella Burke received best and faired for the U15s netball

Jett Hill swept at the Victorian Combined Winter Championships, by winning the 30m, 60m, 300, 700m, as well as 1st in discus, 2nd in long jump, and 3rd at the 3km cross country!

Academic Achievements:

At our most recent assembly, we celebrated students who exemplified the school spirit and values through their never ending commitment, collaboration, care, and character. Well done to Oscar Reid, Becky Webb, and Maddison Lawes for receiving our values awards, and to Matisse Hose for receiving the Hawk Award.

Additionally, bravo to the following students who not only received a near perfect score on their term 3 interim reports, but also had at least a 95% attendance for the term. These students will be rewarded with a pizza lunch on Friday!
