Principals Report Welcome back to Term 2 . It has been

wonderful to hear students’ holiday news and see

their enthusiasm to recommence learning this term.

A successful School Development Day was

conducted on Monday 28th April. SDD’s are very

beneficial for teachers to work together as active

learners, planning across school development for

effective curriculum delivery.

Thank you parents who were able to have their

children looking so smart for the ANZAC Day march

during the school holidays. Robyn Stewart

YEAR 5 and 6 Dorrigo Excursion Last term years 5 and 6 went on an excursion to a rainforest in Dorrigo for

a day. We left school at 7:30am and got back to school at 5:45pm. We

travelled for 3 hours and got off the bus at the rainforest lunch area. As

we were having lunch two bush turkeys came up to see if we had any

food. Then we got back on the bus to go to the walking track. There we

met two rangers who took us on a walk. We went to a board walk where

we saw the forest floor and the understory of the rainforest. Then we

went back down to the ground where the ranger showed us walking

stick palms with edible berries, a

stinging tree, a wait-a-while and a

strangler fig. We also saw some fungi

that is supposed to glow. Then we

went to Crystal Falls. We got to walk

behind the waterfall. Afterwards we

went to the skywalk were we saw the canopy and the emergent

layer and a mountain called the sleeping man. We also went to

the information centre and saw some very interesting things.

We had a great time.
