Principal’s Report

Welcome to the final full week of school for

2020. There will be quite a lot of activities this

week and next to finish off what has been an

unusual year: Presentation Day, P&C Christmas

Party, Choir Performance, Year 6 Farewell,

Bonville’s Got Talent and the Big Banana Fun

Morning followed by movie day and the Year 6

pass out ceremony.

Presentation Day will be held at school on

Thursday 10th December at 9:00am. The

ceremony will be held on the basketball court

and Covid safe seating will be created for a

parent from each of the students receiving an

award. We wish we were able to invite all of the

community, however, we can’t, so we hope that

you understand. Students receiving an award

bought home an invitation last Monday.

Christmas Raffle Tickets are steadily selling.

Thank you to the parents who have been

donating lots of great prizes. We sincerely thank

you for your support. There is still time to

purchase tickets before the draw on

Presentation Day. Please contact the school

office to purchase more tickets.

School grown corn feeds the masses on

Friday. Thanks you to Mrs Nielsen and her

helpers for the beautifully cooked BBQ’d corn

cobs.

‘Innovation and Opportunities’

Responsible, Respectful, Resilient Learners

Our Working Bee on Saturday enabled us to

complete the school irrigation and watering

system. We are now able to water the western,

southern and eastern boundary gardens using

bore water. We also were able to spread mulch

on the eastern garden. Thank you to the dads

and grandads who were able to volunteer their

time over the past weeks. It has been a massive

undertaking and there will be more opportunities

in the coming weeks when the plants arrive.

Word of the week –

Generosity

Simile: magnanimity (magnanimous)

- the quality of being kind and generous.

"I was overwhelmed by the magnanimity of friends and neighbours."
