young, eager and bright eyed pre-
school children
joined us for their first
transition day. It is one of the
highlights of the year as we welcome children to our school and the beginning of their education journey. PRINCIPALS RECOGNITION I would like to recognise Mrs Fiona Proctor for all the time she has volunteered to ensure our recorder group were so well prepared for their performance.

Boys and Girls Touch Football Last Monday, the boys touch team went to Learmonth Park to play Kelso Public School. It was a tough and hard game but even though we played hard, we lost. The final score was 6/5 Kelso’s way. We struggled to tap them because they were such a good team. We would like to thank Mrs Jolley and Mrs Shelley Fox for all the training sessions and organising the team. Thanks also to Kelso – they were a great team to play and it was a clean, fair game! Report by Lachlan Vallis and Lachlan Fitzsimmons Last Friday, the girls touch team went to Portland to play 2 games. We won the first game 11/1 against Portland Central School. Because we won that game we had to play another team, Lithgow Public School. They were a really tough team to play against, and in the end Lithgow won 3/2. It was a really good day and everyone enjoyed it. We would like to thank Mrs Jolley and Mrs Fox for all the hard work and effort they put into the team. Awesome work Raglan girls!
