From the Principals desk We have an interesting last week of school left with some fun activities to celebrate the great learning throughout the term. Good luck to Marli Ryan and Chloe Thompson competing at the SA Athletics Stadium at Mile End tomorrow. They are part of the Far North and Eyre Peninsula team competing tomorrow in the B grade State Secondary Schools of South Australia Athletics competition. Dont forget that we have Assembly, this Wednesday April 12th at 10am. All family members are welcome. It would be great to see people here as this is the only formal assembly this term. The new look at the front of the school is impressive. Thank you to Deidre Chapman and students for the great 3D panels adjacent to the gate. Our condolences to Tony, Julie and the Custance family on the recent passing of Skins father. I take this opportunity to thank all families for your support throughout this very busy first term. I hope you have a Happy Easter and a safe and relaxing holiday. Enjoy the week. Cynthia
