Principal’s Message

Dear Parent/Caregivers, I hope that you are all keeping warm and healthy and avoiding all those nasty bugs that are invading our school community at the moment. I must say I am looking forward to a week of beautiful sunshine. SASS Recognition Week This week students, parents and staff in NSW schools acknowledge the hard work done by our School Administration Staff (SSAS). We are fortunate at South, to have a wonderfully dedicated SASS team who work tirelessly to ensure our school runs smoothly and students receive the best quality education and care. Congratulations and thank you to Mrs Keane, Mrs Hatton and Mrs Park who do an exceptional job supporting our students, staff and school community. Bush Poets

Congratulations to Tanaka Maunganidze, Will Hindriks, Dakota McKenzie, Chelsea Weir, Kate Jenkins and Eliza Atley, who did an outstanding job reciting their poems at the Bush Poetry evening at Intereach last Wednesday evening.

Thank you to Miss Kerry for supporting these students throughout the process and during the evening. Melbourne Excursion What a fantastic time our Yr 4 students had in Melbourne on their first ever overnight excursion. I would like to congratulate the students on their fantastic behaviour and willingness to be involved in all activities. Huge thanks must be extended to our wonderful teaching team of Mr Fajks, Mrs Honey and Miss Liefting for the wonderful way in which they supported our students and to Mr Crothers for volunteering his time to drive the bus. Well done everyone!

Father’s Day Breakfast 30th August What a sensational response we have had to our Father’s Day breakfast, which will be held this Friday in the hall. Thank you to our hard working P&C for organising this event. Book Week Next week is Book Week and Mrs Landale has organised some very special literacy based activities. Under the theme, Reading is my secret power, students are developing their love and interest in literature, through a whole range of fun events. Our special Dress Up Parade will commence at 9am and will be followed by our Book Week Assembly. Girls Netball and Basketball Teams Congratulations to our girls Netball and Basketball teams who have made it through to the Riverina Finals. This is an outstanding achievement by both teams and we are incredibly proud of the way the girls have played and represented our school. Yesterday the netball girls played in Berrigan, against the JerriBerriO’s and won 29-15. Thank you to Kate Westcott for umpiring the game on our behalf. The girls basketball team played last Thursday in Albury against Tumut Public School and won 47-11. The girls will now play in Leeton on Monday 16th September against Park View Public School. Thank you to Ross Foran for coaching and to all our parents who have assisted with travel.

Last Tuesday, the school girls soccer team travelled to Griffith, and played Hanwood Public School, in Round 6 of the NSW PSSA Girls Soccer Knockout. Although, the team lost 5 goals to nil, each player can be proud of their efforts during the game. They played with determination and never gave up. Hanwood led by 3 goals at half time. During the second half the team began to combine better and match Hanwood for most of the half. Hanwood scored two late goals in the second half. The team had scoring opportunities during the match, but were unable to capitalise on them. Thank you to the parents who assisted with transport on the day.

Overall, the team can be very pleased about winning the 3 games in the NSW PSSA Girls Soccer Knockout.
