On behalf of the staff I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a relaxing and rewarding Christmas break. I would also like to thank all parents for entrusting their child into our care and for the ongoing support provided to our school.

What’s Cool At School

SRC students held a Christmas card fundraiser this term. Many students, family, friends and staff supported this event. Cards were delivered by Santa and his Elf. The students raised $350 and would like to put this money towards purchasing portable speakers that connect to an iPod or something special for our new hall. Ms Lucas would like to congratulate the SRC for the amazing efforts this year!!!

On Wednesday, as part of Warialda High School’s literacy and numeracy primary partnerships initiative, Mrs Donna Smith conducted an introductory lesson on the use of ipod touch devices with students from Ms Taber’s class. Assisted by Mrs Jacque Hall, students had the opportunity to become familiar with ipod touch technology. Students learnt new skills, practised old ones and a good time was had by all!

Some great Christmas Reindeers made by Kinder... Fantastic job
