Dear Parents,

It has been a busy term and an enjoyable one. Student progress is a joy to witness as a teacher and we are very proud of our students. They deserve the upcoming holiday particularly to recover from lingering coughs and colds that continue to affect attendance.

Family Sports Afternoon

Thank you to all the parents and students who came along to our friendly sports competition yesterday afternoon. In all our interviews with past students, the game of Rounders was mentioned again and again as being popular. The House Trophy went to Hovell! Thank you for Mrs Murray, Mrs Dobbie & Mrs Brown for cooking the BBQ!

Hume and Hovell

Our sports teams are named after two explorers who came through our region in 1824, Hamilton Hume and William Hovell. They traversed the Blue Mountain range from Sydney and headed south looking for potential grazing land and water supply. In their journals they recorded seeing the swollen Murrumbidgee River.

Holidays

School will finish for Term 3 tomorrow and resume for students Tuesday 10 October. Have a safe and wonderful break from school routines. Next term will be our big final count down to our 100^th Birthday Celebration.
