MASSED CHOIR REHEARSAL Our school choir climbed aboard buses and headed off to Churchlands SHS for their first rehearsal with other schools on Tuesday. All reports were very positive with our students singing beautifully and displaying excellent manners throughout. Well done to all students involved. The big night is now just three weeks away. BUSY BEE Last Saturday afternoon a number of parents, students and staff members braved the elements to be involved in the busy bee. Fortunately, the weather held allowing a great deal of work to be completed. Holes have now been dug ready for the planting of the fruit trees. The vegetable beds have been re-located to the Wastewise area and all pruning of trees and general weeding in the area has been done. I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who assisted with the various tasks. A great deal was accomplished in the afternoon and has certainly moved this project forward. A special thank you to Brett Cowey (Tom & Jack’s Dad) and Mrs Ridley for their planning and hard work with this project. I look forward to the next phase of this excellent initiative. STUDENTS AFTERSCHOOL It has been brought to my attention that some students who are remaining behind after school are at times choosing to play in an unsafe manner. This includes climbing trees and climbing up onto, and walking along, the retaining wall behind the pre-primary. While these may appear to be harmless enough, a fall from these objects is likely to cause a significant injury. Students are not permitted to climb trees or walls during the school day and I would expect all students to abide by this after school as well.
Enjoy your week, Don Boyes Principal

The Ballad Of Pondlife McGurk
In this current economic climate, it hard to conjure up an experience that would give so much pleasure for only $3.00. Such was the presentation by the Barking Gecko Theatre Company of The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk.
The students from Year 3 - 6 were completely captivated and enthralled by the performance of Marko Jovanavic who gave a fifty minute solo performance in this play.
Marko weaved the themes of friendship,
loyalty, betrayal and forgiveness in a most entertaining way making the audience
completely involved with the characters and concerned about the outcome.
The teachers commented that it was the best
incursion we have had in a long time and they
were equally impressed.
