Dear Parents and Students,
Last Wednesday four of our students ~ Charli Butcher, Johanna Kamer, Nicholas Carter and
Jai Reed ~ competed in the district finals of the Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking
competition. This involved schools from Pambula to Batemans Bay and the quality of speeches
was very high. All four of our speakers performed admirably, with Charli and Nicholas winning
‘Highly Commended’ runner-up awards in their sections. Well done!!
Today you will receive a written report on your child’s progress during the first half of the year.
These reports have taken a great deal of time to compile and I thank the teachers for their
efforts to provide an accurate snapshot of how your child is progressing. Please take the time
to read the report carefully with your child, praise their strengths and think of how you can
support them in any areas of difficulty.
If you would like to discuss the report or see your child’s teacher, there will be an opportunity
for Parent-Teacher interviews next Tuesday, June 28th. Please complete the note attached to
this week’s newsletter and return by the end of this week.
This Friday the Primary Class will be hosting our Whole School Assembly. They have been
rehearsing a play called ‘Ali Baba and the Forty Bikies’ and are looking forward to performing.
At this Assembly we will also be acknowledging excellent attendance during Term Two and our
Year Four students will receive their long awaited ‘Pen Licences’. Certainly, this is an
Assembly not to be missed! It will start at 1.00pm. Following the Assembly, there will be a
P&C Meeting.
A proposed excursion next week to The Botanical Gardens near Batemans Bay has been
postponed until next term due to the busy schedule of the final week of term, which finishes on
Friday, July 1st.

John Carter, Principal
INFANTS have been writing narratives using their imagination.
Below are some samples of their work.
Layla, Year 1
The Little Mouse. One
day a mouse was walking
in a wood. When he saw
a rabbit who was hungry!
He wanted food! So the
mouse hid. But the
rabbit found the mouse
cos he smelt the mouse
out and then there was
trouble. They started a
fight and just as the
mouse was about to get
killed a boy picked the
mouse up and took him
home. The mouse lived
happily ever after. The
end.
Yurruanna, Kinder
One very long, long
night a wombat came and
smelt some food. It was
yum and another long
night a mouse came out
and smelt some food.
Jamie, Year 1
The boulder was rolling
towards the town. The
boulder cashed into
another boulder. The
monkey jumped up and
down.
Jarrah, Year 2
Once upon a time there
lived an ant and he
said, “I better go down
this steep tree”. When
he was half way down he
fell. Then he realised
he could fly. Then some
flies came to attack
him. Then all the ants
fought the flies. It
was easy for the ants
cos they had some mud.
They threw it at the
flies and won.
Billy, Year 2
Once upon a time I saw
some tiny teeth. Then a
gorilla. It was tiny
too. He saw a fridge.
But it was closed. Then
the tiny teeth came
along. They helped the
gorilla. They pulled
and pulled and pulled
and it opened. Then
there was heaps of food
and they ate it all.
Chase, Kinder
I went on the surf board
and another surf board
was here with me and it
was my friend.
Annabel, Kinder
The giraffe found a cup
cake and it had cherries
on it.
Archie, Kinder
There were 4 wombats and
one lived near the road
and one didn’t live near
the road. One was a
tiny bit younger than
the one that was near
the road.
Thomas, Kinder
One wombat was walking
down the path. Then he
smelt some food he liked
and another wombat came
and smelt the food. One
long, long pole and a
flag was on top of it.
Angela, Kinder
Once there was a whale
that really wanted to
have some fish and that
night he was frightened
because there was a
really big hammer head
shark.
Jack, Kinder
There was a python that
wanted to eat the
rainbow. Then mice went
in the maze and the maze
was a rainbow. At the
end of the rainbow they
found a bit of cake.
Coupar, Year 2
Once I went into Africa.
I saw a snake. It was a
King Cobra. It was the
most venomous snake in
the world. I picked up
the snake. It bit me on
the nose. I went to
hospital and I died in
hospital.
Elias, Kinder
Once there was a little
pig that liked to roll
in the mud and it didn’t
know it was poo. Then
he walked beside the
beach.
