Our girls will now compete in the State Finals later in the year. The Group were very motivated and practised diligently and definitely earned their 1 st Place. Special thanks to Miss Mooy - who teaches Year 3, for all the additional time she has given to preparing the girls for this. It is never easy balancing teaching with additional responsibilities. My staff are all to be congratulated for going beyond their actual tasks to provide for our students. Thank you to Junior Band for their lovely performance in Assembly yesterday. They are sounding really wonderful. Cross Country ribbons were handed out at Assembly for all runners 7 years and above. Children who are running in the Zone Cross Country have the opportunity to train at school over the next few days. Training starts at 8am and all Zone runners are welcome to come. (Thursday is the next training day) P&C Meeting is on tonight in the Staffroom. Please come and find out what our P&C are planning for the remainder of the year. Class Parent Meeting will be held on Friday. This will be in the 3R classroom as the Staffroom has been booked for a cooking activity. Mrs Gordon will attend in my place. I am at a meeting in the city. The roofing works are almost finished and we will be able to resume normal movement around the school. The children have been very flexible and have coped really well with the additional noise. Please adhere to the signage around the school now that we are almost free of additional fencing. The children are not to cross the carparks at any time. Parents are asked to walk to the Office via the hall/classrooms. No parking in the Staff Carpark at any time from 7:30 am until 5pm each day. NAPLAN is almost complete and the children have completed well. Thank you to our Election Day Stall helpers. It is always a long day. If you have left items here on Saturday they are in the Staffroom awaiting collection. This term we welcome a number of pre- service teachers. The majority of our students are from Macquarie University and we love having them in our School. They are very hard working and benefit a great deal from experiencing life in the school setting. Have a lovely week and enjoy what may be the last of the warm weather Margaret Foott, Principal

Area Cross Country is Friday 21st June at Gosford Racecourse. There will be no PSSA competition on this day due to the Area Cross Country. Mr de Jager is running one more training session for cross country on Thursday morning at 8am on the School Oval.
Today, our Year 5’s began their 4-week Orienteering course. Following the success of the Program in Year 6 last Term, we anticipate that the Year 5’s will get a lot out of this program, funded by sporting schools.
Our school Athletics Carnival is looming on the horizon. This will take place in Week 10. We will be seeking parent volunteers again for back up timekeeping and other jobs, so if you’re free on Monday 1st July to help out, please email me [email protected] .
Enjoy your week,

P&C Report:
Firstly thank you to everyone who volunteered and baked to make our Election Stalls such a success on the weekend, and particularly to our Infants Class Parents who organised us all and to Ula Volwerk for organising our very successful raffle.
It was hard work to have 2 elections so close together and the P&C has really appreciated everyone’s amazing efforts. We raised nearly $7000 on Saturday, taking the combined total from the elections to over $13,000 which is a truly amazing result.
Particular thanks needs to go to our Class Parent Coordinator, Gill Allen who was there at set up and pack up and most of the time in between for both elections.
Ticket sales for our adult social event/fundraiser are now on sale. It’s called Comedy for a Cause and is on Saturday 17th August at 7pm. It should be hilarious so I’d encourage you to book as soon as possible. They’ll be lots of time to chat and its BYO drinks and nibbles. You can book tix here comedyforacause.net/turramurra
Our Term 2 meeting is on tonight – 7.30pm in the Primary School Staff room. We’d love to see as many of you there as possible.
