Thank you to those who came OUT IN THE COLD last Friday night to support the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Thank you to Mrs Tam Prime for your generosity in cooking a pot of delicious chicken and vegetable soup to keep everyone warm. Thank you to Bega Baker’s Delight for the donation of bread for the sausage sizzle. Thank you Mrs Grant for organising this important event.

Thank you to Mrs Harnett for another great Athletics Carnival, and whilst it was a day OUT IN THE COLD, there was great participation and achievement from our 8-12 year old students. We look forward to our 5-8 year old carnival early next term (read the news from Mrs Harnett).

Thank you to our Koori kids and families for their leadership this week in our NAIDOC learning and activities. Thank you to Ms Rees for her passionate leadership as our Aboriginal Contact Teacher, and to Brytan Aldridge our fabulous Aboriginal Education Worker. We have enjoyed so many rich experiences including art, dance, food sampling, craft and music.

I wish you a restful and enjoyable holiday. Perhaps you will be OUT IN THE COLD during the break, perhaps at the snow or in the mountains? Please keep safe in the holidays and keep up to date with areas/hotspots to avoid to ensure a safe return in Term 3.

Blessings.

Jo
