P&C Meeting All parents and community members are welcome to attend the P&C Meeting on Tuesday night at the school, it begins at 7:00pm. Organisation for the Sheep Races will be on the agenda. Also some information about our Fundraising and an update on current COVID rules. Please don’t attend if you are unwell, COVID restrictions will be in place.

Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser In the month of August our school will be raising funds for Ronald McDonald House. This organisation is very dear to one of our families as they have supported them through the care of their young child. All month we will be collecting 5 cent pieces and donating all funds to the charity. If you have 5 cent pieces at home please send them in! On Tuesday the 31st of August our students are organising a Wear Your Stripes Day filled with lots of fun activities to raise awareness and funds for the charity. Our Year 5 and 6 students will also be selling cakes at the Sheep Races in September to support Ronald McDonald House.

A reminder for all families Students should not attend school if unwell, even with mild symptoms of COVID-19. Any person with any COVID-19 symptoms will be sent home and should not return until they have received a negative test result and are symptom-free. Even with a negative test, students should be well before returning to school. We understand this can be difficult, however, in the interest of everyone’s health we ask that parents adhere to this guideline. Please contact the school if you have any questions.

THANK YOU Over the past week we have been very fortunate to have our wonderful community support us in many ways… THANK YOU to Mrs Pam Livingstone for gifting us with a fabulous bird artwork for our classroom. Your gift is very generous and much appreciated! THANK YOU to our community for sending in 5c pieces and helping us with our fundraising campaign for Ronald McDonald House. We are gaining quite a collection. THANK YOU to Miss Nolan for supporting our students in their creative endeavours and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones to perform at the Gooloogong Open Mic day on Sunday. The students’ performed magnificently and the crowd loved their skills! Small Schools Touch Football Mr Pudya and Mr West reported that our touch football teams had a great day in Forbes last week.
