Message from the Principal * Robyn Corbett * 10 March 2020

Our year 5 & 6 students are currently on camp. We thank the

Kieran Fuller, Justin Porta and Dave Anderson for volunteering

to help out on the camp. Mrs Rooke and Mrs Trevor will also

be putting in many hours of their own time assisting our

t forget to give them a big thank you on their

Obstathon

The school Obstathon provides an opportunity for

students in Years 5 & 6 to showcase their leadership

and organisational capabilities. Once again we had a

very interesting course and as a result of our

students efforts we now have $2429.35 to spend

on school projects or events chosen by the students.

A special mention of students who raised over $50.

back full of enthusiasm and look forward to sharing

their new found knowledge with others.

During the camp they learnt more about public

speaking, and being a good role model through

involvement in many group challenges. They also

learnt about using their initiative to make a

difference for others.
