Night activities included a disco, a market night and a challenge evening that commenced with all students at the centre filling out our census forms.

BROKEN BAY CAMP
As you would all be aware we
returned from school camp at
Broken Bay last Friday after
spending a week completing a
variety of outdoor activities. Whilst
the weather was quite nasty when
we arrived on Sunday (including
hail which stayed on the ground all
through the next day) we managed
to complete the week‟s activities
without any interruptions.
Our day group (The Dolphins)
participated in beach games,
orienteering, a cookout, flying fox,
rock climbing, a team challenge,
archery and boomerangs. Night
activities included a disco, a market
night and a challenge evening that
commenced with all students at the
centre filling out our census forms.
Overall the students of Wombat
Public School were an absolute
credit to the school. They
participated in all activities and
enjoyed themselves immensely. The
staff and Principals of the other
schools at the centre with us were
extremely impressed by our
students, their manners and
politeness, as were the camp staff.
DONATION TO THE KITCHEN
GARDEN PROGRAM BY THE
HON.MICK VEITCH MLC.
We were absolutely thrilled to
receive in the mail a letter and
cheque from The Hon. Mick Veitch
MLC after his visit to the school for
lunch this term. An extract from his
letter is below:
“It was an absolute pleasure to visit
the Stephanie Alexander Garden and
have lunch with the students and
teachers. I was so impressed with the
fantastic display of student
enthusiasm for the project, both in
the garden and the kitchen.
In a gesture of support for your
school communities‟ outstanding
citizenship and valued contribution
to public education in Wombat I am
attaching a cheque for $600.00. I
would appreciate it if these funds
could be allocated to the purchase
of suitable cafe-style blinds for your
under-roof eating area.
Thank you again for a great day!”
SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
This Friday there will be a school
assembly commencing at 2.15pm.
This is not a family fun assembly.
GARDEN SHED
Ken has boxed the slab for the new
shed behind the kitchen and will,
with all things being equal in regards
to the weather, pour the concrete
on Thursday. There will also be
some associated tree trimming
required behind the building and
along the fence line to
accommodate the new shed.
