Happy Birthday!
Principal’s Message Week 3 is already here which means that we start swimming every Wednesday a ernoon! I know that the children are very excited and the weather has definitely been more than warm enough for an a ernoon dip. Don't forget the swimming gear this Wednesday‐ although I have a feeling that your kids will be quick to remind you.
Gymnas cs also started last week and we will be con nuing Friday morning lessons for a 6 week program. Lots of fantas c opportuni es to develop spor ng skills, while avoiding too much ac vity in the heat of the day.
This week one lucky family will receive a veggie box with a some eggs from our chickens. We have such a wonderful selec on of different herbs and vegetables, as well plenty of eggs to share, so we decided to send a more generous box home to each household over the course of the term. All of the names are now in the hat, ready for the lucky draw this a ernoon. Todays box contains: celery, silverbeet, kale, carrots, spring onions, rosemary, oregano, mint and 6 lovely big eggs. One of you might be enjoying a lovely fri ata, quiche or omele e this week for dinner.
I will be taking 2 weeks long service leave from next Monday to spend some me on another school camp, this me with one of my own children. I am heading to New Zealand with thirty Year 7 students... wish me luck!
I am very grateful to have our staff step up to support the running of the school in my absence. Mrs Shohani will be here full‐ me and Mrs Haine will be working addi onal days to ensure that our programs con nue as planned. Mrs Epthorp will con nue to work her usual two days too. We have such a dedicated and commi ed staff and I am grateful for their willingness to give their
me and energy so eagerly. Of course this has a lot to do with our wonderful students, who make it easy to come to work everyday.
