The Parents and Friends Day was a huge success. We had a lot of keen visitors attend our Concert and Lunch. Thank you to all those who attended, and thank you also to those who organised the concert, the morning tea and the delicious lunch. A really fantastic effort!

Today parents have the opportunity to talk to the teachers about their child's progress. Please keep strictly to the sceduled times to ensure that everyone has adequate time with each teacher.

Reuben Ryan (grade 6) represented the Hunter Region at the CIS Swimming Carnival on Wednesday. He came sixth in 50m breaststroke. Well done, Reuben! Great job.

The interim reports were issued to all families today, and parent interviews are being held on Monday afternoon.

On Thursday the Junior High School students held a big cookoff. They divided into groups of 3-4 and cooked their planed menu of 3-4 scrumptius courses. Then, once the cooking was completed, the teachers and parents sampled the cuisine and voted for the tastiest and best presented dishes. It was delicious! Well done to all the students who took part. Pictured here are 3 boys who made up one of the cooking teams.

The whole school will be going on an excursion to the Easter Show on Friday 28 March. The children will be able to look at the exhibits of farm life, from animals, produce and crafts. There will also be parades, woodchopping and other shows especially for school children. It should be lots of fun, and we would like parents to come along to help with supervision. Should be a great day!

Congratulations to all the students who took part in the HRIS Primary Swmming carnival, held at Lambton Pool today. Every student who participated did their best, from the youngest grade 2 student, to the biggest year 6 student. Well done everyone.
And thank you to all the mums and grandparents that came along and cheered the children along during the day. And parents also helped out by fulfilling official duties in timing swimmers.
Thanks everyone! It was a fantastic community effort.

The Primary Class are studying the "Underwater World" in first term this year, and they visited the Sydney Aquarium as part of their studies. They had a great day and marvelled as they walked under the sharks as they strolled through the underwater viewing area. A fantastic day!
