NAIDOC Week Celebrations Last Monday students participated in the annual NAIDOC March and Awards Ceremony in Orange. Jordon and Mia were recognised with certificates of achievement, for improvement in reading and literacy skills. During the afternoon the students created their own boomerang art and enjoyed Dreamtime stories. There are more photos at the end of this newsletter.

STEM We would like to thank Luke Buckland, Hugh Gardiner and Yann Guisard for giving up time on their weekend to concrete in posts and attach recycled pipes for our new playground musical instrument. Students have had a wonderful time creating their own music masterpiece before school and at recess and lunch.

2019 NSW PSSA Athletics Championships We wish Langdon and Skye the very best for their trip to Sydney tomorrow, representing Western Region to compete at state level in Athletics.

New Blinds Our hardworking P&C has very generously donated some new roller blinds to replace the curtains in our front foyer. A big thank you to Sean and Christy Dobson for their time and skills to install them. They look great!

STEM Training Miss Pickford, Mrs Shepherd and Mrs Guisard will be attending the final day of the STEM Academy training this Friday 8 November.

Kinder Orientation We welcomed our Kinder 2020 students to school today for their first orientation day. The students had a great day with Mrs G in the infants classroom.

Asthma, Allergies and Anaphylaxis Our school has a number of students who are at risk of seasonal asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis. A note went home last Friday describing the foods and allergens that affect our students. Families are asked to be mindful of these triggers and avoid sending them with your child to school.
