PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Last Friday the Brisbane Water Zone Cross Country team competed at the Met North
Cross Country Carnival. We had a number of children from our school competing in this
carnival. I would like to congratulate all the runners for the commitment and effort shown
on the day. Congratulations to Kiara G who will now be competing in the State Cross
Country Carnival in July. Good Luck Kiara!
Congratulations
Congratulations to Mrs Hansard for being selected to participate in the NSW State Junior Music Camp as a
voice tutor and a music theatre tutor. This is a huge achievement and I am sure one that Mrs Hansard will
relish. Mrs Hansard will be attending the camp in Term 3 Week 1. Mrs Rachelle Myers will be teaching
KH while Mrs Hansard is away.
This Term Mrs Herbert, Miss Drabsch and Mrs Poulson were selected to participate in the Sydney Theatre
Company School Drama program. Throughout the term they have been attending after school professional
learning workshops in Sydney as part of this program. Next term they will be working with a Teaching Artist
from the Sydney Theatre to incorporate drama throughout their English unit.

Boys’ Rugby League Our Kariong Boys’ Junior Rugby League participated in an All
Schools Rugby League Carnival last Thursday. They played
three games, winning two and showed great sportsmanship
in all games. Thank you to Mr Brown who coached the boys.
Well done boys!
Peer Support
Thank you and well done to all our Year 6 students for their
preparation and delivery of the Peer Support lessons this
term. Throughout the term the focus was on anti-bullying
strategies and being part of a team. The program has led to many positive relationships being formed
throughout the school across all ages.
Well done to all students at Kariong for being positive group members in these activities.

returned so far.
Congratulations to these two students who returned the two highest amounts of money

businesses who kindly donated vouchers to use as raffle prizes:

Election Day Stalls
Tomorrow, Saturday 2 July, the P&C will be hosting a cake stall and BBQ at the school from
8am to 2pm. This is an excellent opportunity for all of the Kariong Community to support our
school and we need lots of cakes, slices and yummy treats to sell. All food must be sealed in
a plastic bag or container and labelled with ingredients. Donations can be dropped off at the
stall, near the Hall on Election Day. We still need as many volunteers as possible to help sell
the food or help out on the BBQ. Please contact Kylie Stephenson on 0411 254230 if you can help.
