WOW, JANE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Talented all-round sports girl, Year 6 student, Jane Lemon, has qualified to represent the Riverina in another sport. Last Friday, Jane was selected in the Riverina girls’ touch football team which will play in the state championships to be held in Wagga in July. Jane was chosen in the Riverina netball team on the Monday before the touch football event, so to make two Riverina teams, especially in the one week, is a fantastic achievement. Over the years, Jane has represented the Riverina in swimming, cross country and athletics, so to add the netball and touch football to Riverina representation, is quite outstanding. It also shows Jane’s good attitude and ability to be a great team player. Well done Jane-we are very proud of you!

CROSS COUNTRY We send our very best wishes to Kristina Meurs and Jane Lemon for this coming Tuesday after the long weekend, for their representation of the Highlands and Nangus Public School in the Riverina Cross Country event to be held at Deniliquin. Jane and Kristina are both excellent long distance runners and are to be commended on qualifying to represent our district at Riverina level. TRENT BARRETT TRAINING For the girls who are involve with the Trent Barrett Shield training, Karly, Isobella, Tazmin, Casey and Abbey, the session this week and next will be in Gundagai where Peter Maher and the Adelong girls will meet you as in recent weeks. Thank you to the students’ and parents’ commitment to these training sessions. SMALL SCHOOLS ATHLETICS Congratulations to our 8 to 12 olds who competed in last week’s small schools’ athletics carnival, so enthusiastically. It was wonderful to see all of our students trying so hard and continually showing improvement in both track and field events. I commend all of our students for their great attitude towards participation ant giving of their best. I also commend and thank the large support group of parents and caregivers who were present on the day to support all of our students. Nangus was certainly well represented in all facets. The excellent support contributes to the success of our students. The following students have been selected to represent our school at the Highlands’ district carnival in Tumut tomorrow: Corey, Jane, Tanisha, Cory, Tejay, Kristina, Cody, Abbey, Casey, Isobella, Blake and Dillon. I know our representatives will be giving of their best and I wish them all, a very enjoyable day.

AUSTRALASIAN ASSESSMENTS I would like to commend Tyla, Isobella, Tazmin, Casey, Dylan, Kristina, Jane and Tub who have recently participated in the Australasian Computer and / or Science assessments. Special mention should be made of Tyla Smith who enthusiastically participated in the Science assessment. Tyla is only in Year 2 and this is the first year the Science assessment has been offered to Year 2 students. SMALL SCHOOLS’ TOUCH KNOCKOUT Please note that the first game of the Small School’s Touch Knockout competition will take place on the last Wednesday of term, not the Thursday as previously advertised. The game will be played in Gundagai against Eurongilly Public School. More information to follow. SCHOOL BANKING As many students are participating in sporting activities on Fridays this term, students wishing to participate in school banking may bring their banking to school any day and it will be processed on the Friday. PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS Parent Teacher interviews will not take place until next term as there are many activities right up until the end of term and Mrs Armstrong will be on leave during the last week. It is hoped that student reports will go home this term but they are currently being upgraded to meet new syllabus requirements.
