Thank you to all parents and family who joined us for the celebration, it is wonderful to be able to celebrate these special occasions together.

Congratulations to our Western Region Swimming team – you did a terrific job in West Wyalong.  Good luck to Genevieve, Saskia and India who will progress to the Archdiocesan carnival in the coming weeks.  Our small schools relay team also gained a nomination to attend the Archdiocesan swimming carnival in Narooma.  We look forward to hearing about your successes.
