Spring cleaning, sausages and discos


It's almost officially spring. The fruit trees are beginning to blossom and the field is dry enough for football. We had a great afternoon at the cross-country - fabulous sun and stunning performances.
The school is having a spring-clean. We sorted out the technology shed and have created herb beds. We demolished the vandalised eco-hut and are designing a new one.

At a combined room 1 & 2 class meeting (sorry cricketers), students formed two committees to look into whether we should keep hot lunches and sausages, and continue the sponsorship of our East Timorese child. A further group are designing a replacement eco-hut.


As none of the local authorities are willing to deal with escalating cat numbers the school is working towards a solution with the use of live capture cages. Older children have been taught how to set the cages with pet food and report the presence of caught cats. Homes are needed for child friendly cats.

Market this weekend … come and have a look at our new gardens, playground development and spend some time and money with friends.

Thank you to our Year 8's - Naomi, Ruby, Shea and Stephanie for organising this year's disco. The group used their entrepreneurial skills and hard bargaining to negotiate the lights, smoke, sound and food on $100. The red carpet was a nice touch.
