The Athletics Carnival held yesterday was a huge success. Thank you to all of the parent helpers who

assisted on the day both on the field and in the canteen as well as those cheering on the sideline.

Well done to everyone who participated and showed great sportsmanship. The champions will be

announced at tomorrows Education Week Assembly along with the winning house.

Spotlight on 5/6O 5/6O have been meeting once a

week in a peer support program.

5/6O love the opportunity to

spend time with the younger

kids. A highlight of the program

was watching the grade six

students organise and run a

game of duck, duck, goose.

Michael from KP was so fast he

almost caught one of the fastest

runners in the school! 5/6O

have loved reading stories to the

KP class and it has been great to

see these new friendships

continuing at play time.

Thanks KP for letting us be

involved in your learning.

A huge thank you to Jill Jonson-Wilson from Black Swan Dreaming for

the fabulous prizes donated for the NAIDOC week raffle.

Congratulations to the winners.
