Buy a Bale & City Slicker Fundraiser

Thank you to our amazing school community who strongly supported our Drought Relief

fundraisers for our rural communities in Week 4. There was over $850 in gold coin donations

and the office foyer was full of a large assortment of items that will be taken to Wee Waa.

Sally-Jane from City Slickers was absolutely gobsmacked with the response from everyone

and needed 2 loads to remove it from the school. It is wonderful to see how you all band

together to support those in need.

Open Day & Book Week Celebrations

Thank you to all who attended our Open Day and Book Week celebrations. It was wonderful

to see so many community members involving themselves in classroom activities and

supporting our P&C through the purchase of the delicious goodies at the canteen. It was also

fantastic to see so many Stage 3 students getting involved in the character parade and dress

as book characters. The Book Fair was also a huge success and we thank you for supporting

our Library through raising funds from the Book Fair.

Parent Workshop

On Wednesday September 12, the Got it! Team will be running a parent workshop on

‘Anxiety’ titled ‘Building Bravery’ in the School Library at 1.30pm. Everyone is welcome to

attend. The session will give some examples of anxiety. Please see flyer later in this

newsletter for more information.

Father’s Day Stall

Thank you for supporting our P&C Father’s Day stall yesterday. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students to go

‘shopping’ and select their gifts for a special dad, relative, carer or friend. Thank you to all our volunteers who helped

on the day. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Nepean Dance Festival

Good luck to our Junior and Senior Dance Groups who will be performing at the Dance Festival next week. Your

performances at the Marketplace and school were exceptional. Thank you to Miss Holroyd for all the hard work with

choreography and Miss Gelevski for all the behind the scenes work.

District Athletics

Good luck to all our athletes competing today and on Friday at the Hawkesbury District Athletics Carnival.

Boys Touch Football Knockout

Last Thursday our Touch Football Knockout team played Clairgate PS at the Kingsway St Mary’s. We started off slowly

but gained momentum in the second half. The final score was 9-3, however we won the second half 3-1. Well done

boys and Mr Smith for coaching. Thank you to all the parents for their transportation. Lisa Crawford
