After winning the National

Junior Landcare Award last

year, the Creative Catchment

Kids ran another exciting pro-

gram this year. Deni North,

along with many other schools,

developed a poster on biosecu-

rity around the Deniliquin area.

Students from 5/6S paired up

to create posters after a visit

from CCK Co-ordinator Stacee

Bell, district vet Scott Ison

and High School teacher, Pe-

ter Humphries to the Deni

High Ag Plot. They researched

diseases on farms and how to

prevent them. From here,

three posters were chosen to

be published. Congratulations

to Angus Knox and Will Bull,

Sophie Murray and Kira Dickie

as well as Abbey Lawson and

Shyanne Smith.

Annual School Magazine

Can You Help with Sponsorship?

Planning is under way for the school's annual magazine. This magazine features a small

item from every student and is a wonderful memento of the year at school.

In the past, through the generosity of sponsors, it has been possible for every student to

receive a copy for free.

Families that would like to sponsor a page ($30 for a silver sponsorship and $50 for a gold

sponsorship) of the magazine, please complete the form below and return by Friday,

December 10.

All sponsors receive a free copy of the magazine, and acknowledgement in the magazine it-

self.

Come on Kids-Design a Cover

Students with an artistic bent are asked to drag out the art supplies and get busy with

designing a front and back cover for the magazine. Designs and artwork should be on an

A4 sheet of paper, and be free of writing.
