It was wonderful that so many parents, grandparents and friends helped us celebrate 'Reading is my secret power' Book Week. There were many fantastic costumes and fun activities in the classrooms. Thank you to Ms Harris who organised the book parade for us. 

YEAR 5 AND 6 CAMP

The Year 5 and 6 students had a wonderful time at the three day Residential Outdoor Education Camp, conducted by NSW Sport and Recreation at Berry.

The overall aim of the camp was to enhance the students’ leadership skills, increase their confidence in their own abilities and assist them in learning to cooperate and work with others through controlled experiences. The activities of team building, problem solving, innovation, adventure challenge games, trust and support certainly ensured that everyone had a great time. 

I am very grateful to these four staff members; Nichole Harris, Anna Arthur-Worsop, Mark Boss and Kelly Young for their outstanding care, commitment and dedication they have shown to the students in their care. Thank you.
