Working Bee - Saturday!

Our P&C will be holding a “Working Bee” this

Saturday, 19th June. We are looking at getting the

garden at the front of the school looking even

more fabulous. We hope to have lots of parents

and families join us to make light work of this

upgrade! Hopefully lots of you can join us even if

for just an hour or two.

District Cross Country

Congratulations to all those students that travelled

down to Byron Bay for the District Athletics

Carnival accompanied by Mr Tunaley. Those

students were: Tabitha, Maddison, Emily, Sophie,

Yasmine, Dempsey, Toby, Casey, Tyson, Xane, Jet,

and Mckenzie.

Maddison came sixth in her event and will now

proceed through to the regional carnival this

Buddy Bench - Gold FM

The ‘Buddy Bench’ is an idea that Richard, Bridge

and Spida in partnership with Gold FM want to

implement in Gold and Tweed Coast Schools. The

Buddy Bench is a permanent bench at school

where children are encouraged to sit when they

are feeling left out. If a classmate sees someone

sitting on the bench they are urged to invite them

to play, walk, or talk with them.

Richard, Bridge and Spida started installing Gold

FM Buddy Benches in February and will continue

throughout the year.

At our P&C meeting we discussed the Buddy

Bench and I would ask if you are in favour of such

a bench at MEPS that you get on to the Gold FM

website to register. We are hoping that the more

interest on the site from us, the better the chance

of having one of the benches at our school.
