We’ve had a jam packed but spectacular start to term 2! It has been great to see students returning to school very settled and ready to learn. We have jumped straight back into learning, in particular our Spelling Mastery and Connecting Math Concepts programs, as we don’t want to waste any valuable learning time!

ANZAC Commemoration

Thank you to our students and student leaders who represented our school proudly at the Grenfell ANZAC Day March and Commemorative Service. Camilla M and India read an ANZAC tribute poem and Stella and Camilla G laid a wreath on behalf of the school as part of the proceedings.

It is always wonderful to see our younger generation acknowledge and pay their respects to those who served and those who are still serving.

Western Region Cross Country 

An AMAZING effort last Friday for our small school to host such a fantastic event here in Grenfell. It was an absolute credit to Rebecca Knight's organisation and the willingness of our WHOLE school community to work together contributing in whatever way they could to provide catering for a few hundred hungry children and adults.

The event itself was very well organised and ran smoothly thanks to the highly organised and efficient work of Mrs Harveyson.

We also greatly appreciated the WR Sport Coordinator Lyn Bathgate, for her help in preparing for the day, as well as making sure results were recorded accurately. 

Thanks to our amazing list of sponsors (see below), especially Grenfell Country Club, for allowing us to use their beautiful facilities. Also thanks to the team of volunteers that helped in a variety of ways. 

As a result, we held an extremely successful carnival with everyone walking away happy, especially our little team of runners, that participated well.

Special thanks to:

• Grenfell Country Club
• Weddin Shire Council
• Grenfell Preschool and Long Daycare Centre
• Rural Fire Service
• Delta Agribusiness
• Bromar Engineering
