A message from our Principal

Dear Parents

After a very chilly start to the week, the days have become more 'Spring' like again. We are all enjoying learning and playing outside on these beautiful days.

Our Primary Choir attended the Bathurst Eisteddfod yesterday to perform. Well done to our choir children on their performance. They were beautiful. After a very long wait, our children made it onto the stage at 2.35pm. We are still waiting to hear the results as the adjudication was put off till later in the day due to the program running behind time. A special thankyou to Mrs Cafe for the amazing work she has done with the choir this year.

At the time of going online, we were waiting for our Band children and Support unit children to return from their Eisteddfod performances. We know all of the children will have enjoyed performing.

Good luck to the children attend the Western Athletics Trials in Dubbo tomorrow. We are so proud of all of the children on their qualification and how well many of them have been training at lunch times as part of the relay teams. Good luck to Hudson Reynolds, Hugh Thomas, Leah Dillon, Cooper Naylor, George Palmer, Oliver Hamer, Jye Orenshaw, Alissah Grimm, Jaxon Ballinger, Lara Francis, Will Pheils, Lachlan McClements, Tom Hamer, Xavier Pawsey, Ryan Copeland, Lara Glasgow, Grace Ronan, Sophie Morris, Mia Johns, Maddy Phillips and Zara Phillips.

Our Lego club, that operates every lunchtime with Mr Summerson, have been doing some fascinating construction. I love popping in to see what is being built. Have a look below...... they are pretty clever.
