INTERSCHOOL ATHLETICS
On Monday 1st December the Year 5 and 6 Athletics Team went to the Inter-School
competition at the Millennium Stadium in Albany. We did extremely well in the field and
track events and came 2nd overall in the large schools competition.
Unfortunately the rain ended the day early. Thanks to the parent helpers who provided
transport and assisted on various events with measuring, and to the children who were
well-behaved and supportive of each other. Mrs Bassick.

LIBRARY AND READING BOOKS
Unfortunately after the stocktake over 60 books were missing that had not been
processed. Please return the books to the office, your child's teacher or the library. There
