Be Your Best Self!

Ngata from Mrs Shelton….
Crazy Hair Day and PJ Day
Don’t forget that tomorrow is crazy hair and PJ day. This will be our first Parents and Friends school fundraiser so it would be great if students could bring along a small donation to support the school. Apparently, I have a group of 5/6 students who are going to be my ‘hairdressers’ Friday morning so who knows what hair style I will be rocking!!
NAPLAN
Next week we will be continuing to complete our NAPLAN tests for students in grade 3 and 5. Please see the below timetable for when these will occur. Any students who have missed their test, will complete catch up tests during the week.
Congratulations
A huge congratulations to Ellie Anderson who represented Bundarra at the Division Athletics on Monday in Warrnambool. She came 15th in the 800m and 5th in the 100m and 200m – such an amazing effort and achievement. We are so proud of you Ellie!

Students in Grades 56A, 56M and 45T will continue swimming next Wednesday. If you are unsure if you have any outstanding fees for swimming, please give the school a call and speak to Emma Carr.

TOMORROW
MAY 13th
GOLD COIN
DONATION

From our school captains.
On Tuesday we went to learn more about leadership at the G.R.I.P. leadership conference in Mt Gambier.
We learnt about TEAMWORK and INTEGRITY. We learnt to stand up when there’s a problem and show what the right thing to do.
At GRIP we learnt about how to ‘step up’ as a leader – to show leadership qualities and be an example as a leader.
We all helped to complete a poem to show our ideas.
When we step up and aim for more
We make things better than before.
We want to be a shining light
So we give our best and do what is right.
With what we do and what we say
We can do our best in every way.
We put a smile on our face
And make our school a better place.
As a team we will get more done
So let’s get started and have some fun.
Jeremy, Claire, Ryan and Bella.

Sporting Schools is back for this year! This time around we will be practising our soccer (or football) skills with Mr Potter every Monday afternoon. Sporting Schools is open to all across students across Bundarra and it would be fantastic to see some of you joining in on the fun! Sessions will run from 3:30-4:30 every Monday afternoon with some snacks provided before we kick-off. To sign up, ask your parent/caregiver for permission and let the office know where your name will be taken down. Can’t wait to kick things off and score a few goals in the process!
