FLOODS

Rhys, Ellie and Angus returned this week after spending a week trapped behind the river.

Grandparents talk about the ‘56 flood, parents the ‘74 deluge and these kids will remember the ‘12 flood when the ducks got too wet in the “Duck Park”.

And life goes on!

SOCCER

Small Schools boys and girls enjoyed a great day of Soccer last Tuesday.

The girls were beaten by Leeton in the first round of the State Knockout and then narrowly defeated Narrandera, 1-0.

The boys were also defeated by L.P.S. and then drew 2-2 with Narrandera.

A great goal by Nathan Wilkinson was a highlight of the day but, while shooting for another in the second half, Nathan fell and unfortunately broke his arm. Nathan will be back at school on Monday.

MAINTENANCE

Workers will be in the double classroom on Monday replacing the concertina door. Year 5/6 will spend most of Monday in the Morundah Building. Tilers and plumbers will be repairing part of the Administration Building’s roof prior to the central storeroom ceiling replacement and the Morundah Building also has a leak that has ruined part of the ceiling. A small section of our fence has been repaired but the rest has been left off the job scope. This is being rectified.

TERM 1 VOLUNTARY SCHOOL

Contributions remain the same as last year: $10 per term per child or

LIZ McKAY NUPTIALS

Today is Liz’s last day at Yanco as a single girl. Liz and Dave will be married next weekend.

I en joyed Dave’s company in Year 5 at Parkview about twenty years ago; he is still a mad Hawthorn supporter and laughs at most things in life, especially when backing winners.

The Yanco school community wish Dave and Liz every happiness and hope that their future life will always be “Weather fine, track good with the running rail in the true position”!

Have a great day next Saturday, Liz.

BIKE - A -THON Postponed until later in the year.
