Principal’s Report
It was a week of performances last week star ng with the Ariah
Park Central School Talent Quest. A special thanks to Rafferty Edis
for coordina ng this event. Well done to all the students who
performed and it was great to see so many involved. Well done
also to those who recited poetry, sang or helped out at the Mary
Gilmore Fes val over the weekend. By all accounts the fes val was
a success and I thank all those involved for their efforts.
Good luck and bon voyage to Rafferty Edis heading off to France later this week to par cipate
in a student exchange program. We hope Rafferty has a great experience and we look
forward to hearing some of the stories when he returns.
The Primary Major Excursion heads off this Wednesday and returns Friday. Mrs Jenkins, Mrs
Anderson, Mrs O’Dwyer and myself will be a ending. I am looking forward to spending
some me away with the students and seeing some of the sites. It should be an exci ng trip
