Stage 2 Sydney Zoo Snooz Excursion

This overnight excursion will take place on Thursday

16 August - Friday 17 August. To reduce the financial

cost, we encourage families to start paying for this

excursion in instalments. The cost is now estimated

around $250. Plans for this excursion are almost

complete and permission notes will be sent home to

students as soon as possible.

Booral’s Got Talent

On the afternoon of Tuesday 3 July, Booral students

will have the opportunity to show off their special

talents. Students have been busy rehearsing at recess

and lunch for this event. More details about how to

enter and the cost of participation will be announced at

this week’s assembly. Students will only be eligible to

enter in one item each, whether it be a solo, duet or

group ensemble.

This activity is a wonderful fundraiser for the SRC

and we hope all students will get involved, either as a

contestant or audience member. We also welcome

parents and family members to come and enjoy the

show.

Dungog League Tag Day: Years 3-6 Students

Thank you to all the students who registered their

interest in this gala day. It looks as though we will be

able to field one 3/4 team and one 5/6 team. Mr

Collins is just waiting to confirm some details with the

organisers before proceeding with the organisation.

Permission notes will be sent shortly.

If you are able to assist by transporting other

students, please remember that we will need to sight

your licence and registration papers prior to the event.

This can be done at any stage, by presenting to the

office. Copies will be stored for future events.

Stroud Brick Throwing Parade

Booral students are invited to march in the parade at

the Brick Throwing Festival, Saturday 14 July. The

theme for this year’s parade is ’Planes, trains and

automobiles’. Staff will soon be preparing costumes for

the event and would like to have an indication of how

many students to cater for. If you are able to attend,

please inform your child’s teacher in writing in the next

week or so.
