Stage 3 Excursion
As you are reading this, I am currently on
the Stage 3 Excursion to Lake Burrendong
Sport & Recreation Centre. I am excited to
be having such a wonderful experience
with such a wonderful group of kids. It is
also where I commenced my career (a
number of years ago!).
Looking forward to the P&C Dinner on
Saturday Night.
May your week be full of joy!

K-6W News
On Tuesday last week K-6W travelled to the Bathurst Goldfields. The students participated in a range of activities including making damper sticks, building mud bricks, visiting a gold museum and panning for gold. Panning for gold was the students favourite activity with a few excited 'Eurekas' being shouted as they found some specks of gold.
Luke Jones from NorthParkes Mines was also a visitor in our class last week. He explained to the students about working underground in the mine. The children thoroughly enjoyed his visit.
