Welcome back to Term 4. We've had a great start to the week and students settled eagerly into learning and school life. They were delighted upon their return to school to see that Santa had visited early and left lots of new playground equipment, games and activities for students. Ok, ok. It wasn't really Santa, it was the P&C and the SRC, but it did feel like Christmas!
During the holidays we hatched some chickens with 6 hatching and 5 surviving out of our 13 eggs. They were brought into school today and students enjoyed meeting them for the first time. They have been set up in our chook pen inside a smaller cage with a heat lamp to keep them warm and to give our other girls plenty of time to get to know our new chicks. I'd like to say a very big thank you to the Howard family who took great care of our hens during the school holidays, letting them out and locking them up each day, and checking on their food and water.
During the last couple of weeks we've had some upgrades with a new cubby house and semi-permanent gazebo installed, new outdoor bistro blinds (thank you to the P&C and Transgrid!), and electrical upgrades in the staffroom.
Camp is quicky approaching for students in Years 3-6. Please make sure you complete your registrations and make your final payments.
The P&C are selling pies and sausage rolls again at the Murrumbateman Field Days this weekend. This is one of the biggest fundraising events of the year, so if you aren't able to help out by volunteering, you can always swing by and buy a delicious pie or sausage roll and support them that way instead.
Have a great weekend!
