Obstathon

Congratulations to P&C and staff involved in organisation and fundraising for this year’s Obstathon.  The parent helpers at the school gate and under the buildings collecting donations and helping students with forms was very much appreciated. It was a colourful fun-filled event for the students and wonderful to be able to hold it without restriction this year.  Thank you to all our students and families for their kind donations and for making this a huge success.

School Concert Band

Thank you to Mr McIntrye and the band students for their performance at this week’s assembly.  The students have had more limited performance opportunities since COVID and this week’s performance was a very welcomed event.  The students performed very well and the audience clearly enjoyed it.  Students at New Farm have an opportunity to try out for the Instrumental Music at the end of Year 3 to begin in Year 4.  Once students reach Year 5 they are then able to join the school concert band.  Thank to Mr McIntyre for the marvellous work he does with our students.

Excursions and Incursions

This week has been a busy one with Obstathon and Friday is the Year 3 – 6 Athletics track events at Windsor Park.  This is a very good venue and something a little different to our regular sports traditionally held at New Farm Park.  Parents are welcome to join us at the park and should follow the COVID sign in expectation, wear masks and adhere to social distancing while at the venue. 

This week also we have a number of excursions and incursions including:

  • Wednesday – Mr Fenton running Mini Coders (city cluster students), Year 1 Star Lab incursion, Year 4 First Contact excursion
  • Thursday – Mini Coders continued, and the Year 5 / 6 LOTE cultural excursion

Staff Update
