P&C Music Quiz Night

Congratulations to all those members of the Dalmain community that came along to the hugely successful music quiz night last Saturday. The turn out of people was fantastic, and it was great to see so many people having a good time on the night. I would like to make mention and a large thanks to the number of Dalmain staff that supported the P&C and made the effort to be involved. Approximately $3000 was raised.

The night could not have been successful without the efforts of the P&C and in particular our Fundraising Coordinator Katie Jones who was instrumental in all aspects of the night. Finally, to all of those people (P&C committee members and others) who helped out in various capacities before, during and after the quiz a huge thanks. Three cheers for everyone!

Dalmain Chess Club

Round Robin

Yesterday, 23 students ranging from Year 3 to Year 6 participated in a Chess Round Robin at North Beach Primary School. Their behaviour, manners and sportsmanship were exemplary and I could not have been more proud of them. I also received some extremely positive feedback from teachers at North Beach PS who took the time to chat to our students whilst they were having afternoon tea. These students were a real credit to the school.

The overall score was a draw which was a fitting end to what was a very successful excursion.
