Our Literacy and Numeracy Night was a huge success. It is such a fabulous community night that is more enjoyable every year! It is so enjoyable to come together to celebrate literacy and numeracy, learning and being a strong community for our children. Our children looked fantastic dressed up as their favourite book or movie character, or the book itself! We are seeing more and more numeracy costumes as well. We love seeing your thought and creativity. I want to thank our grade 6 students who put a huge effort into their costumes and themes. You showed great leadership to inspire our younger students in future years. I would like to thank our teachers. Their dedication at this time is truly amazing. After a full working day, they plan together, set up the night and put in a huge effort to make the night such a success for what is often a more than a 12 hour working day.

Symeonidis Being an excellent listener
Chatter, chatter, chatter, the sound of my teeth going up and down was the only thing you could hear because on Friday 20th August it was like an ice block on the oval. The first thing was splitting into age groups.
The 10 year olds were doing Discus first. I was in the 10 year old age group even though I am not 10 but I will be soon. As soon as you can imagine! I twisted my body, swung my arm and let go of the discus. Wow! What a great shot. After everybody had their go I had to have another go with some other girl. Another great shot from Leia. It was a great shot but not big enough for a ribbon.
