Money Smart - Grade 6 Market Day - only 1 day away!

What a wonderful, engaging and humorous presentation of ideas from our Grade 6 students. They are doing their best to promote their stalls. It will cer-tainly be an array of splendour on Thursday as they spruik for business. Mrs Wiegard encourages us to save up our pocket money and bring a few dollars to school, with parent permission. The Grade Six students are well planned; catering for everyone’s needs. Soft drink, ice cream served in a cone with toppings, chocolate bracelets, fruit ke-babs, mystery lucky dip, zooper doopers, home-made play dough and oobleck – and so much more!

Last Friday Zara competed at the Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation Nationals competition with her team Blitz Snowflakes, they placed 4th in their division. Zara is very proud of her medal and we are very happy to share her achievements.
