Puffing Billy
The Grade 2's had an amazing time on their excursion to Puffing Billy on Wednesday 28th May! They learned all about the history of trains and the Emerald-Belgrave area at the new Education Centre. Students explored Emerald Lake Park, enjoyed meeting all the volunteers and rode the awesome steam train. Despite a predicted wet and cold day, the weather proved in our favour leading to an amazing day and an unforgettable experience.

Josiah - U12 SSV Rugby League Squad
Josiah has made the U12 SSV Rugby League Squad as an Emergency player. 145 kids trialled for one of the 17 positions available. This is an exceptional effort to make the team.
As an Emergency player, Josiah will train with the squad, has a uniform and also needs to be prepared to travel to Queensland for the week long tournament, if someone should have to withdraw from the team.
Congratulations Josiah for your perseverance and determination to achieve a goal like this.
