Garden Winners!

Congratulations to all our volunteers in the garden

and all our students who also lend a hand to make

our school playground such a lovely place to be.

A special thank you also goes to Basil, Maz and

Sue our SAS staff and Deb Sorrenson who also

helped bring it all together on the day of judging.

Canteen Closed - Friday

Holidays - First Day Back!

Term 3 has certainly been full of activities and

seems to have just flown by. A reminder there is no

School Development Day at the beginning of

Term 4.

All staff and students return on Monday, 10th

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday

Great 5 Sports Day

On Wednesday a few weeks ago Brady and

Imogen got selected to represent our school in the

one and only Great 5 program held at Banora

Point High School.

In the morning everyone met in the hall at

Banora Point high school, and we were split into 2

groups. We got introduced to a year 11 student

who has been to 4 world titles in synchronised

swimming. She may also be going to the

Commonwealth Games at the Gold Coast in 2018.

We went outside with about 30 other students from

our district and played 2 games, tags and capture

the flag. It was then break and we had 25 minutes

to eat and play, it was then time to go to the

kitchen and put aprons on and start to make

things. First we made bliss balls and then we made

a fruit salad using banana, watermelon, kiwi fruit

and strawberries.

North Coast Golf

My name is Nicholas Sneesby and I will be

representing the North Coast in the sport of golf at

Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. I am hoping to

win or at least get in the top 8. If I do get in to the

top 8 I will go to Adelaide for the Australian School

Championships. I will also be going to the Jenolan

Caves for sight-seeing as part of my trip to the

tournament. We presently have 4 people in the

team.

I am very proud to be representing my school and

the North Coast Region and it is my ambition to be

a professional golfer one day.
