Congratulations

We are very proud of Cam Price (right) and Sam Clydesdale who won Georgy awards recently. Cam Price won the award for creative and technical achievement in a junior production for his lighting and sound work on Shrek Jr and Sam Clydesdale picked up a judges award for his performance as Lord Farqaad in the same show. Well done to both boys!

Kyabram LAN (Local Aboriginal Network) Art Competition

At the beginning of the year we found out that three of our Year 1 students were winners in the Kyabram LAN (Local Aboriginal Network) Art Competition run by the LAN and Kyabram Health. Students entered their artwork in November 2018.

River, Damien and Ariel will have their artwork framed and on display for one year at the Kyabram Hospital. They also received a 12 month entry voucher for the Fauna Park for their family. There will also be a morning tea at the hospital so that they can go and see their artwork on display. Congratulations to our winners!
