that items can be returned to them.

AFL
This week was our last week of the AFL program that our school was involved in. All Children K-6 learnt
the basic skills to play the game of AFL. I would like to thank Stuart and his team for providing the
children with this opportunity and the balls that each child will receive.
Next year we will be providing a morning program that runs for 6 weeks and costs $10 and all children
will receive their own AFL ball and bag.
ACTIVE AFTER SCHOOLS PROGRAM
This Term we have been running a golf program. Over the past couple of weeks we have seen so many
children having fun and learning a new sport. healthy snacks.
We have gained funding to run this program next year .
GREEN TEAM Our Green Team have busy lately tidying and tending our school veggie and fruit garden. They have been
working very hard and I can’t wait to taste some of that fresh produce. Great Work Green Team!
Our Green Team will also be working with The Illawarra Conservation Group to tidy up sections of our
playground.
Have you walked around the school grounds lately? Well, Mrs Groves has been busy planting some of the
Agapanthus, Hydrangeas and Cliveas that she and husband, Ron, have donated to the school and which
will require regular watering to get them established. She has done a fine job and The Green team will
continue to maintain them. Thank you also to the Anagnostopoulos family for preparing a garden bed for
planting and for Mrs Anagnostopoulos for helping Mrs Groves put the plants in this bed.
TALENT SHOW
We are hoping to start rehearsals next week for the talent show (Wednesday, November 20). We are still
looking for more children to enter. If you are interested just write your name and the act that you will be
doing and hand in to Mrs Devlin or Mrs Eshman by Friday, February 15 2014.
