RELIEVING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Well done to all our teachers for their organisation

and efforts in ensuring that everyone has had a

great start to the year.

Our new students have been welcomed and have

been a great addition to the student body with their

enthusiasm and adaptability to their new school.

Over the last week I have ventured into a number

of classrooms and have been extremely pleased to

see how settled and happy our students are. It is

obvious that a well deserved holiday break has

recharged their batteries for another great year of

learning and fun.

Last week our Sports Captains and Vice Captains

were elected. Congratulations to:

Araluen Captains: Mia Wright and Lachlan Hart

Araluen Vice-Captains: Paige Freeman and Kai

Watts

Mirrabooka Captains: Nell Sellars and William

Roworth

Mirrabooka Vice Captains: Chelsie MacDonald

and Bailey Bennett

Attunga Captains: Alannah Holle and William

Harper

Attunga Vice Captains: Chelsea Douglas and

Connor Parkin

I am sure that these students will represent their

house and our school with pride.

Personal Fitness Trainer

Maria Passlow owns and runs her own fitness business

called

‘Hurts So Good Riverina’

Maria is creating a team to enter the ‘Mud, Sweat and

Beers’ obstacle race which is coming to Wagga on 12th

April 2014

It is a 10km course consisting of 31 obstacles

It requires you to crawl through mud, swim/wade

through dams, climb over walls and manoeuvre your

way through many other types of fun obstacles.

You will need to have a basic level of fitness to enter

the team as you will be required to help others in your

team just as they will have to help you at times.

If you ever want to see what it is like to be able to have

as much fun as what the kids have then this is definite-

ly something you want to do.

Maria will be able to assist you to improve your fitness

level so you are ready for the challenge.

If you are interested in joining her team then please

contact her for further information.
