Dear families,

It has been another busy week at Paynesville Primary School. As you know Monday is the Queen’s birthday

holiday and school is closed. I am concerned that our children need to be more focussed with an increased

traffic load over the holiday weekend. Could families please remind children that we do get a lot more

traffic over long weekends and the need to be looking at what is going on around them on our roads is very

important. I hope everyone has a nice break and we will see you all on Tuesday June 14th.

Under 10 Prawns - Paynesville Prawns defeated Magic Dream Team. Best on court was Anzac Wakinson.

Under 12 girls Seagulls – Paynesville Seagulls lost the game but still played a great game. Best on court was

Melody Tompkins.

Under 12 girls Dolphins –Paynesville Dophins lost the game but still played a great game. Best on court was

Chloe Radford.

Under 12 Boys Sharks – Paynesville Sharks defeated Dog 17-16. In an absolutely thrilling game the Sharks

came from down by 10 points at half time to snatch victory in the final second of the match. Kohan Polaccov

was the hero going end to end to score the winning goal just before the siren sounded.

2 Square Tournament

Welcome Back Ebony

Basketball Results

Next week we will be running a Two Square Competition that will be running during recess and

lunchtimes starting next Tuesday. The grand final will be played on the last day of term during

lunchtime. There are four different divisions which are: Juniors, Middle, Seniors and Legends

(Staff). Interest is at a high level and many are eager to see who will be crowned the Paynesville

Two Square Champion.

Welcome back to Ebony Mooney. Ebony

is replacing Carol Roberts in the Grade 6

room until Mrs Roberts returns from

holidays. It is fantastic to see her part of

the team again at Paynesvile Primary

school.

Andrew Bould’s visit to the Junior grades

Royal Australian Navy Band Concert

There were a range of students from Paynesville Primary School who were invites to Bairnsdale

Secondary College to see the Royal Australian Navy band. There was an MC throughout the

performance who was explaining all the instruments and songs and making it fun for everyone. He

introduced all the usual instruments we have in our band but also included a bass clarinet, a

bassoon, french horns, euphoniums and tubas. It started off with the marching band full of

drummers that held their drum sticks up to their nose when they were resting! The 3 Amigo

trombone players put on a funny act. The concert band played numerous pieces from Bach to the

theme from Star Wars. And then the rock band played Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off and Bruno Mars’

Uptown Funk and they encouraged all the kids to get up and dance! Thank you to Jacqui and Andrew

for helping with transportation of students.

Andrew came in and showed the prep, 1 and 2 grades the lifecycles of insects. Andrew took

photos of insects and brought them to the grade 1-2 classroom. Some moths camouflaged

into the trees. We saw mushrooms glow in the dark. We also saw spiders camouflage in the

bark. We all had a great time.
