The students have been involved in canoeing, damper making, high ropes, bike riding, snorkeling and other activities. Mrs Craddock has passed on how impressed the camp instructors are with our Bingara students’ behaviour and with their willingness to have a go. We are very proud of them and not surprised. Stage 2, Mrs Mead and Mrs Wall left this morning for their overnight excursion to Thalgarrah Environmental Education Centre near Armidale. The students were very excited about the camp and we look forward to hearing about their adventures. Infants Sports Day The students from Kinder, Year 1 and 2 had an enjoyable fun day of sport today.

BAND MEETING

THURSDAY, 6 SEPTEMBER

5PM

The Band Support Committee supports all students at Bingara Central School who would like to learn an instrument. We are a fundraising committee to help with the cost of music, instrument repairs, and new resources. Without parent support, these cannot happen. We have a fundraising opportunity at the end of term but without a meeting to organise parent help it will not happen. This means that the children will go without new stands, new instruments and new music. I’d like to thank the parents who help out regularly with bus driving and behind the scenes at concerts. Every little bit helps and it’s really appreciated. Emma Smith
