Year 6 Camp

Thank you to Ms Cuthbertson, Mr Fleming, Ms Smith, Mrs Krohn and Ms McLeod for supervising students during Year 6 Kindalin Adventure camp this week.  I was pleased to join the Year 6 staff and students for their annual camp, such a worthwhile, memorable experience for students.  They enjoyed the challenges of the flying fox across water, bush crafts, Aeroball games, canoeing, bush walks and lots of team work focused activities.

Cross Country

Big thanks to Kent Rainbow for organising the make-up Cross Country Day last Tuesday 22 April.  I really appreciate his work and effort especially first day back after the Easter break.  Thank you to all staff and parents who helped and supported the preparation and running of the day at New Farm Park.

Late Student Arrivals

Just a reminder that Students arriving after 9.00 am should report to the office for late arrival procedures.

The office staff will record the late arrival in OneSchool, print out a ‘late slip’ from OneSchool and give it to the student.

Students arrive at class and present the late slip to the class teacher which verifies time of arrival.

ANZAC Day

A huge thank you to Sarah-Rose for coordinating this year’s ANZAC Day.  An absolutely polished ceremony with so much respect to the history and service of our armed services.  The variety of the program was well done with: student contributions by Captains Charlie and Madeline, as well as speeches by Isla S, Isla B and Maya K, special guest Major Liam Knowles, and special New Farm historical presentation by Wendy Maslen and Sarah-Rose Dixon. Thanks also to Bec Davis for her work with the choir who did a lovely job.  Thanks to Peter Curby for the PowerPoint presentation and big thanks to our groundsman Tony for the excellent set up for this morning. Thank you to our local councillor Vicki Howard, Members of our Historical Society and the local RSL who once again attended our ceremony.
