FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S PEN
Dear Parents/Caregivers
Cross Country last week was totally awesome. I have received so much
positive feedback about the course, and the venue from so many people.
HUGE thank you to Tom Heneghan, for allowing us to use his farm and
for doing the setup of the course. It was very much appreciated.
We now have a team of 15 who will represent our school at the County
Cross Country next Wednesday afternoon. Good luck to Sasha, Ollie M,
Tyler, Sam, Pippo, Jazz, Daniel, Sarah, Billie, MacKenzie, Stella, Jake J,
Michael M, Matthew H and Alex.
There has been a very definite change in the weather with much colder
temperatures being experienced. It is a good time to check back at our
Uniform Policy to see that your child is wearing the correct uniform for
this time of year. In particular, pay note to the section about
undershirts.
Over the next week or two we will be welcoming a number of new
students to our school as new dairy farm workers and their families join
our community. Because of their kind and caring nature, I know that the
students at school will make our new people feel right at home.
That’s all from me, have a great weekend everyone
Kind regards
Anthony
