Principal’s Report

Nine of our students participated in the Regional Athletics Trials in Dubbo last Friday. Riley, Nic, Zac and Hayley represented in a range of track events, while Matthew, Jarryd, Robert, Vanessa and Danielle participated in field events such as high jump, long jump, shot put and discus. We thank the parents and carers who supported these students.

Our congratulations go to all students on their efforts, and especially to Vanessa Harris on being selected to represent Western NSW at State Athletics in October. Vanessa placed first in high jump and second in discus.

Twinkle

Our students have a wonderful opportunity to attend a special performance of Twinkle by a visiting theatre company from the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre next Tuesday, 9 September. The cost is $3 per student.

The show explores ‘stars, galaxies, space and what lies beyond, Twinkle is a magical show that investigates the wonders of what’s above us’. Up to thirty primary students from Condobolin have the opportunity to participate in drama workshops and perform with the theatre company in this production.

Variety Concert Rehearsals

Students are involved in a number of rehearsals for the Variety Concert this week. Students will need to have costumes available by next Monday for a full dress rehearsal on Friday, 12 September.

The matinee performance of our annual Variety Concert will be held on Tuesday, 16 September, with two evening performances the following night.
