It has been an exciting

week as our old fence is

slowly being removed.

Many students have

enjoyed seeing our fencers

Greg and Jack working on

the Kanga, trimming trees

and removing the old posts

up and down the fence line

on Research Station Drive.

Our students (and staff)

have adapted well to the

changes in our playground.

We’ll keep you informed of

the progress with a

tentative completion date

of Day 1 Term 3.

For the first time in history

(well as long as we can

remember), the Carenne

Bocce Team defeated

Dubbo Delroy Campus in a

nail-biting final of the

R e g i o n a l B o c c e

Championships held in

Orange this week. The

triumphant Carenne team

will now head to Sydney

f o r t h e S t a t e

Championship. Mr Neal,

Mrs Matheson and Ms

Jones were very impressed

by the outstanding

sportsmanship displayed by

all students towards their

opponents. Well done

Carenne!

The new fence is taking shape!

We are the Champions!

Fun Facts

not have names.

bow you must have

your back to the sun

were invented by

women

Work Experience

Work experience is well

underway for the term with

most of our senior students

participating in either in-

school work placement or

with some of our local

businesses. Our “outdoor

crew” have been busy

relocating plants from the

front garden in preparation

for the new fence.

Mr Ryan and Mr Phillips had

the boys all working hard

moving the agapanthus and

they certainly look good in

their new home along the

driveway.

Physical Activity

As part of the NSW

curriculum all students are

involved in daily physical

activities. At Carenne this

includes combined sport,

PE lessons, daily walking,

bike riding, access to the

gym and therapy programs

to name a few. Our

students engage in 150

minutes of planned

physical activity every

week. As the weather

becomes colder we

encourage all students to

bring a jacket, beanie and

gloves to keep warm!

I will be taking Long

Service Leave from

Tuesday 19th June. Mrs

Dwyer will be relieving for

me while I am away. Enjoy

the last couple of weeks of

term and have a great

holiday. See you all next

term. Jane
