Thank you to everyone who participated in this week's Parent / Teacher interviews. If you were unable to meet with your child's teacher on this occasion, please contact the school to make an alternate time.  

 

Thank you to those parents who have nominated for School Council.  As we still have one parent vacancy to fill, nominations for the 2022 School Council have been extended.  I urge all parents to please consider their availability to nominate to council.  Nominations must be finalised by next Tuesday, 8th March and our new council will be announced after this time.

Nomination for School Council can be made by completing and submitting this form.

Last week, a number of our student's braved the cold to compete in the annual Inter-Schools' Mountain Bike event at Falls Creek.  This proved to be a very exciting event which saw the team take out the title of Primary Inter-School Team Champions, while several of our students also took out individual places on the podium.  Our congratulations to Hamish who placed first, Sunni, Annabelle and Tom who each placed 3rd in their age-groups and to all students on their participation.  A big thank you also to the organisers and to Nicole and families for their assistance and support on the day.  

On Wednesday, the Regional Swimming Carnival was held in Shepparton. Once again, we had a high level of representation from our students.  Congratulations to Tom D, Mac, Zoe Bianca, Finn and Tom G on their participation and achievement on the day.
