Choir, ICAS, 2017, Athletics and Disco

School Choir – Congratulations to our senior choir who performed at the Canterbury School’s Music Festival last Thursday night. I enjoyed seeing our choir sing with PRIDE – they represented our school admirably. Our choir was captained by Lucy Paterson who will report back to us at next weeks’ assembly. Thank you to parents and caregivers who supported their children and to Mrs Barns for her organisation of our choir in 2016. We also appreciate having the piano skills of Mavis Barnett helping with our choir. It was also great to see ex-pupil Jessica Dalton play a prominent role in introducing an item and being recognized as a 4-year member of the Special Choir.

• Mathematics Alex (Credit), Stalena (Credit), Livvie (Credit), McKenzie (Credit) Bella (Merit), Lucy (Merit)

School Athletics Thank-you to everyone who came along and supported our children and helped out at our athletics yesterday. It was great to finally get some fine weather for this school event. Congratulations to all children who gave their events everything…I suspect there were some tired children last night. Special Congratulations to Kelsey who was named as our Dunsandel School Athletics captain for the Ellesmere Zone Athletics on Thursday. I know she will lead our team with PRIDE. Well done to Selwyn who were the winners of the PRIDE Shield for our Athletics 2016.

Ellesmere Zone Athletics – This Thursday we will be sending a team to the Ellesmere Zone Athletics at Southbridge School. Due to the postponements of our own school athletics the turnaround for permission forms and information will be short – if your child qualifies for this event we ask that you return the form promptly. I know our team will represent our school and themselves with PRIDE and they will give their events their very best.

School Disco Thanks to our PTA and my staff for the disco on Friday night. I’m sure the children enjoyed dancing the night away! Enjoy the rest of the week.
