Upcoming event: TERM 3 Week 3:

PLC week and Field Carnival and Track Carnival

What a great community! Robin Wheeler, the principal of Afterlee PS,

spoke to me last week about the great

impression presented by the community on

election day. ‘The sun was shining, parents

were happily providing coffee, sausages and

delicious food, students were performing on

marimbas and the atmosphere was so

welcoming and vibrant.’

Additionally local historian, Denis Matthews,

posted on social media about the Dunoon

community. He was impressed by the

wonderfully independent group of marimba

players and the seamless way students

transitioned from one song to another. He also

enjoyed the beautiful community atmosphere

that was created by parents and helpers. Thank

you, everyone.

Zone Cross Country Carnival at Corndale this Friday.

Best of luck to all our students who are competing this

Friday! On arrival, please report to the Dunoon District

Cross Country manager, Mr Condon (Whian Whian).

Mr Condon will mark your name off

and he will collect your form.

Before leaving Corndale, please

have your name marked off again by

Mr Condon. Thank you

Eurovision Dunoon Style

Students have had a planning session last

Tuesday to think about what they would

like to perform at our upcoming Eurovision

Dunoon Style. This is totally student driven

and it requires creative thinking and

collaboration. It’s always exciting to see

the raw talent on display! Students could

sing a song, perform a dance, tell some

jokes, a story, a piece of poetry, or

anything else that would be entertaining for

an audience. Students then audition their

item to a teacher for quality control! We’re

looking forward to our creative students

displaying their talents. Our event will be

held on Thursday 4th July, commencing at

9.30am.

Kitchen Garden is on TUESDAY this

week, 3pm - 4pm. If any students

would like to stay after school to

help, please text Lyndell on

0419040256 to confirm.

Our 4 week gymnastics

finished.

It has been a lot of fun

for the students and the

coaches from North

Coast Gymnastics were

fantastic!

Citizen Scientists

Year 3/4 students are undertaking a Citizen

Scientist program in conjunction with Landcare

and a local Macadamia Farm. Our aim is to see the

real world application of things we learn at school.

There will be dip netting, insect collection and

dung beetle investigations. This will enable the

farmer and Landcare to gather baseline data of the

insects in the orchard and measure the health of

the wetland area which will help to gauge its

success as a method of pollinating the macadamia

trees. We hope to learn lots about pollinating in-

sects (and also to get a little bit muddy).
