Dear Parents,

Kims Absence

It is with much sadness that we advise that Kim

will be absent from school for the remainder of

this week and all of next week due to the sudden

passing of her father. In her absence Kellie will

be the Teacher In Charge Monday to Thursday

and Ellen on Friday. We wish Kim and her family

well at this difficult time.

School Camps

We thank all the parents who offered their

assistance for the upcoming Camps.

Unfortunately we are unable to take all of you.

Attending the Year 5/6 camp to Queenscliff will

be Mary Anne Cariss and possibly Brett Williams.

Brett will confirm this with us next week. In

addition to this the decision has been made to

take a 21 seater bus to Queenscliff rather than

Private Cars. We thank Nick Wright for offering

to drive this distance. This will mean all students

will be travelling together.

Attending the 3/4 camp to Beechworth will be

Sonja Irving. A small bus will be driven by Kim for

this camp which will take place early November.

Any parents who have not returned permission

forms and deposits please do so as soon as

possible.

More information about both camps will be

available in the coming weeks.

Interschool Running

Congratulations to Lachie Stripeikis for his

fantastic effort in the 1500m run at the

Interschools yesterday. He came a wonderful

10th out of over 30 competitions. Good Luck to

Lachie, Bella, Phoebe, Maddie and Riva who will

be attending the athletics event tomorrow. More

information, photos and results will be in next

weeks newsletter.

NO ASSEMBLY THIS FRIDAY

A special congratulations to Braidy O’Brien, a

former student from Tawonga who attained a

4th position in the 1500m event. Braidy is

now eligible to attend States in this event next

week.

Hats

quired during Term 1 and 4. If you child needs
