Fishing Competition - TIME CHANGE

To fit in better with the tide, we have decided to change the time of the fishing competition to 9am - 12pm.  Prize-giving will follow at 1.30pm at Coroglen Tavern.  Thanks for all of the entries that have been received.  If you would still like to enter, please have your permission slip and entry fee back to Miss Upsall by Friday.  Bait will be supplied (thanks to Kylie K & OPC).  Looking forward to seeing you all there on Sunday!

If the weather is bad – we will postpone the fishing competition and will let everyone know via the phone tree no later than 8.30 on Sunday. If the weather is looking very bad on Saturday we will make the call then and make contact.

Year 5-8 Camp – I am awaiting final confirmation from Rotorua. I hope to hear by tomorrow and I will send home details and a date for a camp meeting. At this stage all 6 parent helper positions are taken. Thanks to those who volunteered their help.

Fair Go Ad Awards – We have almost completed two ads which have been researched, written, acted and directed by our year 5-8 students, under the watchful eye of Kuika Illingworth who has been a fabulous mentor for our budding performers. The two ads will be posted to our website in the next few days.

Tomorrow we will have to decide which one we will send in to Fair Go as our school entry.

Building projects – We have a wonderful new gazebo at the back of our school with the concrete being laid today. Work has also started at the front of the school with the pathway and garden.
