I was proud to be told by people outside of our

community that our students behaved in a sports-

manlike and considerate manner at the T20 Milo

Blast last week. These are qualities we promote

throughout our school activities and I congratu-

late our families for their support and reinforce-

ment of our school values.

It’s pleasing to see families in our school and at-

tending school events. We are going to be pretty

busy in the run-down to the holidays so I look for-

ward to catching up with you all at some time.

I’m keen to receive your feedback about the

things we plan for your children, and any ideas you

might have for future events. Next term, I will be

surveying families about what we teach and how

we teach it. If you’re not sure what’s happening,

please come to school and check out

our classes—visitors are welcome! Regina

Our students were worthy ambassadors for our school at the T20 Milo Blast last Friday. Well done, everyone. Special thank you to Miss Maher for organising, and to Miss Mel and Al for being on-hand for the day.

Ready4School … little people enjoying

big learning!

Level playing field

By Jess Maher

We have been having a fun time in

Ready4School the last couple of weeks.

We have been learning the ‘ j ’ and ‘ w ’

sound and counting up to 10 and back

down.

These pictures show Darcy during our ‘ j

’ week making some delicious creaming

soda jelly.

What a great day the Singleton T20 Gala Day was! All our

students took part in 4 modified games of cricket to help

build their knowledge of the game and the skills needed

to play the game. Our students showed great sportsman-

ship and were well behaved all day. A big thank you to all

the parents who joined us on the day! Your support for all

students on the day was greatly appreciated.
