On Wednesday, our school team travelled to Kempsey to compete in the Zone Cross Country Carnival. In very competitive races, all students ran exceptionally well and represented our school with pride. Thank you to Mrs Peck, Mr Marshall and Mrs Hanson for organising the students on the day and also to all the parents that provided travel, support and the opportunity for the students to compete.
Some of the things Constable Wendy told us…..
Sophie T - Year 6 “It was very informative and reminded us all how to stay safe online and look after ourselves.” Zeke - Year 6 “I learnt that some games and apps actually have an age limit, and are illegal for some age groups to play” Harry - Year 6 “I learnt that vapes and e-cigarettes have so many poisonous chemicals in them, like hand sanitiser and toilet cleaner” Freddie - Year 6 “I found it interesting that you need to have your entire fishing kit with you if you are carrying a fishing knife. It’s actually illegal to just carry a fishing knife in your bag on its own. Braxton - Year 5 “It was good to learn about keeping safe online - when you are playing interactive games” Leah - Year 5 “I learnt a lot about vaping and how many dangerous chemicals are in them and how unhealthy they are for your brain.” Tanvi - Year 5 “I learnt that e-cigarettes and vapes were so bad for your body and brain development. It was really informative and a good lesson. |

At the P&F meeting on Wednesday, we discussed the two P&F models including the benefits and concerns people had. We had a great discussion around what our needs were as a P&F and the suitability of each model. In the formal model, the most discussion was had around the role the treasurer would need to fulfil unless we went to the informal model. The roles in the formal model can be found here:
