Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported our Colour Run last weekend! The community spirit was amazing and in this time of drought, it was incredible to see people come together and add some colour and laughter into other peoples lives. Once again our ever amazing P and C rose to the occasion, organising the entire day and cooking the post event BBQ. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this. Thank you to the Blackville community and to those who came from further afield to support our event, which has now turned into a major fundraising event for our school, making just over $1500 on the day. We are considering making this an annual event, so if anyone has feedback of the day, please don’t hesitate to contact me about any comments or suggestions you might have. I’m not really sure if I can say the weather is warming up or cooling down but regardless of the uncertainty of what the weather is doing, please ensure your children have plenty of water and a school hat in their bag. At this time of the year, jumpers may still need to be worn, and labelling them with children’s name greatly assists us in locating the owners when they are left in the classrooms. As we move into the last two weeks of Term 3, I would just like to thank everyone for their commitment and support of our school, I greatly appreciate all that you do. Kylie Burns (Teaching Principal)

Fresh for Kids Program
Thank you to all those families who have supported our school in taking part in the Fresh
for Kids Program. Students are excited to be tallying their fruit consumption and receiving their
textas as reward. Fresh for Kids was developed in 1997 in an attempt to combat the alarmingly
low levels of fresh fruit and vegetable consumption within primary school aged children. Since
then, the program has grown from strength to strength, with consistent increases in
participation. Now, over 250,000 students (including 10 from Blackville PS) directly participate
in at least one part of the program each year.
Ready Set Go!
We are still taking names for those students who are starting Kindergarten next year. Even if families are thinking of enrolling their children at another local school, we would love to assist the children in their transition. Please contact the school on 02 67474024 for more information.
Genius Hour
Thank you to Jess for engaging with our students during Genius Hour in Week 7.
Students were very lucky to be able to design and paint their own terracotta pots.
There were lots of great ideas being put onto the pots including cultural symbols, lush
green gardens, rainbows and volcanoes. We can’t wait to see what wonderful things
are grown in them in the upcoming months. We look forward to what Phil and
Georgina are going to do in Week 9.
Thank you to all our parents who have taken part in Genius Hour this year. The
students and staff really appreciate the wonderful opportunities you provide for our
school and consider ourselves extremely lucky for your input into our school.
