This is the last week of the term, Friday 12 April is the last day. There is a school development day for staff next term – Monday 29 April. The students return Tuesday 30 April. I trust families and children have a great break and a blessed Easter time!

The ANZAC Day march is Thursday 25 April, with all students, families and staff meeting at the Adelaide Hotel car park at 10:40 am for the march to the RSL Hall/cenotaph. The Captains will lay the wreath at the cenotaph.

At the Tuross Heads march the Fife and Drum Band are playing as usual. Could all students who are not participating with other community groups (scouts, guides etc) please wear their uni-forms for the marches. Welcome to Levy (year 1), Max (year 5) and Isa-belle (year 6) who started this week at Moruya PS. I am sure they will make many new friends and settle-in quickly. Cross Country Was postponed to this Friday due to the wet weather and is scheduled for this Friday. Fingers crossed for a fine day. Year 4 Botanic Gardens Excursion Next Wednesday 10 April, year 4 will travel to the Botanic Gardens as a part of the Science work the grade annually completes. Easter Hat Parade –Thursday 11 April A special day of fun for students and pre-schoolers commences at 12 noon on the black-top for years K-2. Yrs 3-6 will cheer them on. Parents and friends are welcome to attend and enjoy a cuppa with our pre-school guests and of course enjoy the spectacle.

Student Mobile Phones The school policy excludes the use of mobile phones in the classroom and if they are brought to school they must remain in their bags and not used at school. All parents can contact the school for any emergency or variations in travel ar-rangements and in fact must do so to ensure clear communication between the school and home. Bus Safety Marshalls Bus service have requested we remind all families about bus safety in particular the fol-lowing safety procedures: 1. To pick up or drop off your child on the

side of the road that the bus stops—so that children do not have to cross the road.

2. If the student is walking from the bus stop—that the student knows not to cross the road until the bus has left the stop so they have a clear view of sight, and

3. They must wear their seatbelt at all times. Please discuss this with your children. Sports Update Congratulations to Jye J, Tyrone and Jeshan on their selection to the district rugby league team. I am sure the boys will enjoy the challenge and experience of playing at a representative level. Well done to our girls and boys soccer teams on their first win against Narooma PS. Staff Training In the next two weeks staff will be attending ses-sions on literacy and numeracy learning progres-sions. Staff Leave This week Mrs Wassell, Mrs Newman and Ms Greig are on leave.

Have a great week. Peter Johnson PRINCIPAL

AFL Gala Day

On the 21 March Stage 2 and the Year 5 students from 2/3 L had an AFL Gala Day. There were many teams like Magpies, Power, Storm and Devils. Some people bought a snack pack that had a muesli bar and a popper. We played a game like AFL but modified. Stage 2 and their Year 5 Leaders had lots of fun doing it. All of the teams had at least one win. We got to play in the park too! Thank you teachers! By Zoe and Leyton 2/3 L

STAGE 3 EXCURSION TO BERRY… notes returned this week please. Any stage three student that wishes to attend the excursion to Berry in November needs to return the expression of interest note by the end of Week 11 Term 1 otherwise they will not be able to attend. Many thanks, Sarah Davis.

Our Day at Soccer…. Last Monday, the girls and the boys soccer teams, went down to Gundary, to play two soccer matches against Narooma. First the girls soccer team had to warm up (the girls were playing first). Then the girls team went on to do the toss. Narooma won the toss. Narooma were a good team, but Chloe had al-

ready scored one goal in the first half. In the send half, Chloe scored two goals and Piccola scored 1 goal in the end Moruya won 4-0. All the girls played amazing and worked together awesome. When the boys ran on the field to start the game we did the coin toss (we won) in the first half Ryan scored 3 goals and Bluey scored 1. In the second half Ryan scored 2 goals and Bluey scored 1, in the end we won 7-2. The boys played fantastically and worked together well. By Piccola and Bluey
