Principal’s Report

Classes have begun their preparation for the Cobar Show. Our

students take a lot of pride in their entries and many of our

students have taken out prizes over the years.

Congratulations to our girls’ soccer team for a solid

performance against Bourke this week. The girls went down

2-1, but played hard and fairly with no ball tampering to be

seen. Our girls’ netball team played today, but at time of

writing no results are available.

We farewell Ms Barnes this week and thank her for her work

with students in 5/6B. We wish her all the best for the future.

This will be the final newsletter for this term, so we will also

say farewell and thanks to Ms Hunter whom finishes with us

at the end of next week.

Enjoy a safe and happy holiday.
