Richy Didge serve up a Valentine`s Day delight

Students and retiring staff celebrated
Rye Park School held their Presentation Evening late
last year- the hall was full to overflowing, the children
were excited and keen to perform their items and the
teachers were a little stressed!
This night was very special for a number of reasons
and at times a little sad as well. During the night we said
goodbye and good luck to a number of different people
and of course to our graduating Year Six students- Claire
Southwell, Hannah Trotter, Katie Bonfield and Jordan
Henderson. This also meant saying goodbye to Michelle
and Andrew Southwell and Ruth and Tim Bonfield - both
these families will be greatly missed but we hope they
remember the P&C loves to have community members as
well.
After nearly 26 years Sylvia Pearsall retired as our
school cleaner and after 29 years our school admin
manager Lillian Southwell has also decided to take a rest.
Miss Dashwood (now Mrs Sharp) left us after five years
to accept her new position at Queanbeyan PS.
There was also time to thank the many people for the
support that they have shown to our wonderful little
school (in no particular order) - Rye Park P&C, Scripture
teachers, Bendigo Bank, Yass Rotary Club, Boorowa
Teachers Association & Boorowa Council.
AWARDS:
Citizenship awarded to Adam Pearsall and Josh Flick,
Improvement Awards went to Jordan Henderson and
Kaleb Watson, Karen Philpott’s Creative Arts Memorial
trophy was presented to Ilka Halgryn and Nimue Ford,
Fahey Family trophy for Consistency went to Claire
Southwell, Armour Family Sportsmanship was awarded
to Hannah Trotter and Writing Encouragement went to
Ryan Barton and Hannah Southwell.
After the awards it was time to announce our new
Prime Minister for 2014 which went to Ryan Barton and
his trusty Deputy PM is Adam Pearsall.
The night finished with two performances- the lower
division children performed a play based on the story
book Wombat Devine with some amazing costumes
designed and made by Vicki Wright. The upper division
class had the audience really laughing when they
performed their play- Snow White and the Seven Used
Car Salesmen. It must be said that all staff were very
proud of all the students, who as usual were amazing on
the night!

quality seafood), lobsters will be
available from this weekend.
Free garlic bread will also be served

While it may be hard to find the

wildflowers” and for good reason.

A DINNER FOR TWO

Next week on Friday the 14th of February, the
Top Pub celebrates ‘Valentine’s Day’ with a special
evening dinner.
For all you budding romanticists, you can dine
to the delightful musical creations of local Irish lad
“Lugh Damen” on the Piano.
Champaigne on arrival, a special delicious
Valentines menu to choose from and the romance
of Lugh Damon’s piano brilliance.
The day has come to be associated with the
generic platonic greeting of “Happy Valentine’s
Day.”
As a joke, Valentine’s Day is also referred to as
“Singles Awareness Day!”
The rise of Internet popularity at the turn of the
millennium is creating new traditions. The U.S.
Greeting Card Association estimates that
approximately one billion valentines are sent each
year worldwide, being second to Christmas Day.
Saturday the 8th will see the Boorowa Rovers
“Unlock the Jackpot” return from summer hiatus
with $2,300.00 crisp Australian notes on offer! Just
Karen Philpott Memorial Trophy went to
Ilka Halgryn (UpperDivison) and Nimue
Ford (Lower Division).
