Dear Parents and Carers, We hope everyone made the most of Parent/Teacher Interviews last week. Parents are reminded that if you were unable to make the designated times you can arrange a more suitable time. Please contact your child’s class teacher. Well done to the students in Years 3 and 5 who participate in NAPLAN last week. Fortunately we were unaffected by the technical issues reported in the media last week. Results are usually available around September. Our school Cross Country last week was a great success. Thank you to all of the parents who assisted on checkpoints and recording and to the staff, led by Mrs Paroissien, for the organisation of the carnival. Congratulations to all students on their efforts and encouragement. Well done to the individual age champions: Age group Girl Boy 5/6 Juliet Borst Lucas Swann 7 Lexie Bruce Blake Cameron 8 Amber Houzaife-Woodhead Charlie Noonan 9 Sienna Bale Nathan Berry 10 Hayley Evans Coby Humphries 11 Bianca Dellanno Codi Bowden 12/13 Cassie Hellyer-Maud Taiten Rudd

Principal’s Report

From the Office… Accounts have been sent home today. Please note that all outstanding amounts for the SAKG are now considered overdue. Please finalise payments as soon as possible.

What perfect weather we had on Friday for our School Cross Country Carnival. In true Barooga fashion, it was great to see so many students giving their absolute best effort when participating and earning points for their house. Congratulations to all winners and placegetters on the day, and to Cottadidda, the winning house. Huge thanks must go to the parents who volunteered their time to help - without you, events like these just wouldn’t happen. A special thanks to our amazing recorders Marcia, Sarah and Sandy, who efficiently tallied House points, recorded all students who crossed the finish line, and wrote names on certificates - much appreciated! Notes have gone home today to all students selected to participate at the next level in Urana on Friday 31st May.
