Cake Day for the SRC Thank you to the families who sent in cakes and money to purchase cakes. The SRC are raising money for school equipment. A big ‘well done’ to the SRC and Mrs Fenning.

Stage 2 excursion It was all positive stories that came out of the Stage 2 excursion. There were many tired students and teachers that greeted us on Thursday morning. A big thank you to Mrs Fenning, the excursion organiser, Mr Pascoe, Mr Simpson,
Mrs McDermid and Mr Patfield who accompanied students on the excursion.
Photographs If parents are out and about with their children at school activities, such as sports days, and have some great photographs, we are always pleased to have a copy for possible use in the newsletter and Year Book.
Seemore’s quiz Last week the students had to find Seemore. For those of you who hadn’t guessed, Seemore had his photo taken at the Book Fair in the Library. He is an avid reader and grabbed a bargain to read later. Thank you Seemore you are a wonderful role model! Has anyone seen Seemore lately? Maybe he is hiding away with a good book to read? I wonder where Seemore will be this week? Hopefully he can get his head out of his book to have his photo taken! Last week’s winners were Wilson Baade, Logan Donovan and Ethan Hocking.
Seemore’s focus for the week is about solving problems He is asking students to solve problems in a safe, honest and respectful manner. Seemore heard from Mrs Battiston that 2B were practicing a 5 point plan for solving problems with their peers. 2B you are heroes!
Seemore’s Fun Section Seemore would like to mention RU OK Day which is tomorrow, Thursday. Show you care and ask someone on Thursday RU OK? By simply
