Principal’s Report

Welcome to Week 11. It has been a very productive term with

lots of activities throughout the weeks. Highlights included the

Stage 2 and Stage 3 excursions and our school Fete. Students

have focused well on their learning programs and are now

looking forward to their well earned break.

Easter Hat Parade and P&C Egg Raffle

Our whole school Easter Hat Parade will begin at 2pm on Friday.

Many students have been busy at home creating their hats. The

focus is on the hats, so clothes are just casual, not dress up. Our

SRC, led by Mrs Taig and Miss Congram, will be the parade

directors. The parade will be followed by the P&C Easter Egg Raffle. Thank you to everyone who has sold

tickets for this raffle. Our P&C is such an important part of our school community and they require everyone’s

support. There are some exciting projects being developed by this committee for Finley Public School.

ANZAC Day March, April 25

This year, ANZAC Day falls in the holidays. Students are requested to meet at the Police Station corner at

10:45am to assemble for the march. Full school uniform is to be worn. Our school ANZAC service will be held

on the first Wednesday of Term 2.

Cross Country Practice

Our whole school Cross Country Carnival will be in Week 2 of next term. In preparation, the students are

participating in a run around the school for about 15 minutes after recess on Mondays to Thursdays. Students

can wear their sports shoes for the next two weeks or they

can bring them in their bags to change into.

Sporting News

We had 5 girls represent the Finley Zone at Riverina Soccer

trials in Albury on Wednesday 2nd April.

The girls combined and played exceptionally well with

students from Tocumwal, Deniliquin South, Mathoura and

Moama. They were ready and willing to play in any position

and are to be congratulated on their efforts and

sportsmanship which they displayed throughout the day.

Reece S represented the Finley Zone at Riverina AFL trials in Jerilderie on

Friday 5th April.

With 44 players vying for the 22 positions in the team there was some fierce

competition. Reece represented his school and zone with great

sportsmanship while showing off some great skills, leadership on the field

and constantly encouraging his teammates.

Reece is pictured with Logan W and Liam S from Tocumwal Public School

On behalf of all the teachers, support staff and administration staff, we wish you a safe and enjoyable Easter

holiday and we look forward to seeing all our students ready to

learn in Term 2.

A Special Thanks to PACER

Stage 3 students have recently undertaken an educational tour of our national capital, Canberra. Students were given

the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage

and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit Canberra as part of

their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government

contributed funding of $20.00 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate.

With the help of the PACER funding we were able to offer students a range of beneficial learning experiences at

Parliament House, Old Parliament House, Australian War Memorial and the National Electoral Education Centre which

helped to compliment and add meaning and understanding to our unit of study on Australian Government. We are very

appreciative and thankful for this contribution.
