Principal’s report

What a fantastic school we have here at Nyora with so many great opportunities for all our students. A BIG thank you to the parents, who over the school holidays gave our school garden and play areas a big tidy up. What a great way to welcome students back to term 2.

Our final weeks of Term 1 saw a very well attended Grandparents’ Day. Our students loved having Grandparents and friends arrive and share with them some great activities. Have a look in our photo gallery. Thank you everyone for making our Book Fair such a great success. A special thanks to Mrs Hunter and our Book Fairy Mel Cromie. Thank you to all those families who donated books to our school. Our students have already started enjoying them. We now have money and vouchers to spend on books and resources for the grades. All our students will benefit from your generosity.

Our Athletics Sporting Day was a great success. The Spiderbacks certainly looked great in their new T-shirts. What a pleasure it was to watch our students give their best effort and show great sportsmanship. Our cheer squad were busy all day cheering the Redbacks on. The Nyora spirit was great to see. Congratulations to Hayley Styles for winning the medal in her age group and the Redbacks for winning the Team Cup. A big thank you to Caroline Maynard for organising the shirts and all our fantastic parents who worked in the canteen on the day. A big thank you to our parents who organised and set out the sand and cleared it away after the sports. Term 2 looks to be shaping up to be another great term with lots of learning tasks,

activities and excursions to engage our students, to further their learning. Nyora is a great school.
