Fabulous Friday Attendance

Congratulations to our attendance raffle winner, Marley McDermott. Marley came to school 95% of the time or more last fortnight, and it paid off. Marley received a family spaghetti bolognese pack by FoodWorks Oberon.

We have had the opportunity to welcome back the team from Longneck Lagoon Environmental Centre. They provided challenging and thought provoking science inquiries for all students K-6. Students explored concepts of the living world and environmental adaptations.

Sensational Steps

Our Year 6 students from 2023 raised money to purchase a school gift. They decided on purchasing signage for our school steps to promote a love of reading. Thank you to Mark Taylor Signage for making these steps look fabulous.

Week 1 Assembly

Last Thursday, we held our assembly to celebrate the achievements of our students. Prizes were presented to students who entered our Positive Behaviour for Learning draw. Olivia Martin received the Kind Citizen award. This award is earned by being a kind and helpful member of the school community and a positive peer mentor and role model.
