Principal’s message Happy Mother’s Day to all our special mums. Hope you all enjoyed the glorious weather on Sunday!

Congratulations to all our long distance runners who ran at Grenfell last Friday under very trying weather conditions. We had 7 competitors make it through to Western trials and lots of top 10 results.

See newsletter for full report. Thank you to Miss Rinaldo and Miss Dixon for organising and supervising the excursion.

National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) will be completed over the next two weeks for all our students in Years 3 and 5. We have transitioned to the online test except for Year 3 writing. The results of the test will provide important information to schools about what each student can do and will be used to support teaching and learning programs. Parents will receive a report indicating their child’s level of achievement. Each student’s level of achievement will be reported against the national minimum standards. Please ensure you child is at school on time and if they are away due to a very important reason, there will be some ‘catch up’ days over the next two weeks.

This Friday, primary will participating in the athletics heats at The Oval. Students will walk down in the morning and all parents/ carers are welcome to spectate. Our main carnival will be a fortnight from the heats day. Notes will be sent home today for all students participating in the PSSA Rugby League knockout to be held in Canowindra next Tuesday as well as notes for the girls and boys soccer team who will be participating in the knockout in Cowra next Friday. Once again we will require some wonderful parents to help with transport to Cowra.

Don’t forget “Walk to School Safely Day” on Friday. We are encouraging all students to walk if possible and buses will be dropping students off at the corner of Charlotte and Tilga St.

Have a great week!

Class in Focus: Kindergarten

Kindergarten had a great time visiting outer space with Healthy Harold last week! They learnt how to build friendships and care for others, safe and unsafe situations, warning signals and people to turn to for help. They also go to do

some yoga and give Harold a pat or cuddle at the end!
