I have highlighted the personal qualities of our wonderful students and supportive staff throughout the year but nothing prepared me for the success of the “Big Day In” which was organised by the SRC with the support of Mrs Virginia Dale and Miss Sally Pokoney. I could sense the anticipation of the students who were looking forward to the event at the start of the week and when the day arrived there were many things that I will remember. Firstly I could see the amount of work and effort that many of the SRC students had done prior to the day and these people continued to impress as the day went on. The next thing that I noticed was the amount of fun the students and staff were enjoying together which was especially noticeable during the fashion parade. I must also comment on the special relationship the students and staff share. There are so many students that stepped up on the day and displayed leadership qualities.

MOLONG ROTARY PROJECTS AND
STUDENT IDEAS Molong Rotary is currently building gym equipment down at the Recreation Ground for the community. They want projects for 2016 that benefit the youth of Molong. Could students please advise Victoria Miller (SRC) or Mrs Clark of any ideas/projects that Rotary could build that would improve Molong for our youth, all ideas welcome. Many thanks Mrs Anne Clark
BIG DAY IN
Last Friday saw the running of our “BIG DAY IN”. This day is organised by the SRC as a fun day to build a cohesive Secondary school. This year saw an introduction of some new events with the balloon toss proving very successful. The event started with a fashion parade featuring a whole range of designer clothing put together by the students. The staff were involved also with Mr Evans, Mr Culverson, Ms Vis and Mr Paterson strutting their stuff on the catwalk. The judges ended up selecting Jackson Gersbach as the worthy recipient of best model on the day. All in all the day was a fantastic event demonstrating to all involved what a lovely school community we have where students can organise, and then enjoy themselves in a broad range of activities. Congratulations to the SRC on a well organised day and to Mrs Dale and Miss Pokoney for their efforts working with the SRC behind the scenes.
