We have had a very busy and productive term. This year we welcomed 41 Prep

students who have had a fantastic start to their school life. Our students have

successfully competed in a number of sporting events including cricket, tennis and

swimming. Students have been on camp to Lake Cullulleraine and Roses Gap. We

have raised money for the Leukaemia Foundation by holding a Crazy Hair Day and

BBQ lunch. Our school fundraisers have included “A Night Amongst the Vines”, Hot

Cross Bun Drive and Easter Raffle. We also opened our classrooms for inspection to

showcase the learning that has been happening. Next term will be just as busy and successful and I look

forward to Term 2. Thanks to all the students, parents and teachers for a fantastic first term.

Last week the Preps made Easter Baskets with their grade 6 buddies. Together the students cut,

stapled and glued to create a great rabbit basket. We hope that Easter Bunny finds these

baskets and fills them with some treats!

What an outstanding outcome we had with the Collaborative Artworks at ‘The

Night Amongst the Vines’ on Friday night. The twelve pieces of student artwork

sold for over $3000! The students should be very pleased that their artistic talents

raised such a lot of money. Many parents complimented the students on their

work and were curious about how the artworks were created. I will be putting a

“How to…” sheet on the Art Blog that explains how to create your own

masterpiece at home. A photo of each classes Artwork is already on the Art Blog

so take a look if you couldn’t make it on Friday night. http://

This week we have created some Easter art and I would like to wish everyone a

very happy and creative Easter!

We had a very busy day in the ‘environment’ yesterday! In the morning Melanie Bell

and a team of parents weeded and cleaned up the vegie gardens and planted some

new seedlings. Thank you very much to the parents who did a great job in the vegie

gardens. Between recess and lunch the

Environmental Leaders

planted trees in Irymple

and after lunch the

whole school cleaned

up the school grounds

and fence lines. What a

great effort by all those

involved.
