PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Melbourne Cup Day – Public Holiday

Our Melbourne Cup holiday will occur next Tuesday, 1st November. Many students do not

attend on the Monday before Melbourne Cup Day because they are involved in family

activities across this long weekend. It seems that on annual basis, less than half of our

students attend school on the Monday before the Cup Day holiday. However, if this is going

to be the case, I ask that all families inform our office of their child’s absence.

Eclectic Electric

Our musical performances of Eclectic Electric were held on Wednesday, Thursday and today.

The standard of visual presentation, acting sequences, singing and instrumental playing was

of the highest order. I would like to congratulate all students for raising the bar of

excellence to yet another greater height. Yolette Stewart, Elizabeth Ralph, Margaret Orr,

Lincoln Bowen, Tony King and Don Laughton have a wonderful way of encouraging our

students to bring their best performances to both matinees and evening performances alike.

NO DOUBLE PARKING

We have noticed that parents are double parking in the west car park at the Middle

School campus whilst there is plenty of parking in the east car park. Please do not

double park in the Middle School car parks as this is a safety issue and illegal. If there

are no parking spaces available in the west car park, please drive to the east car park

to park.

2016 WAKAKIRRI DVDS FOR SALE

There are a limited number of Wakakirri performance dvds available for sale at school. If you would like one, please contact Mrs Elizabeth Ralph at school. Wakakirri have priced the dvds at $39.50.

NO SUBWAY THIS COMING WEEK DUE TO MELBOURNE CUP HOLIDAY.

EXCELLENCE

Value of the Fortnight

We will continue studying the value, Excellence, next week. Excellence is demonstrated every time we give our absolute best to a task. Sam C (MSB) recently passed his Singing subject with Honours. Sam has done an excellent job with his singing. Congratulations Sam on an excellent result. I attended the premiere of our 2016 School production, Eclectic Electric, last Wednesday night. The teamwork both on and off the stage were excellent. Students and staff excelled with students enjoying every moment on stage. We have so many very talented students and staff that will, no doubt, continue to present many excellent productions in the years to come. Dianne Wright Campus Principal
