From The Principal
A huge thank you to all parents and carers who supported the ‘Light for Lismore’ Service initiative, which was student led and community driven. The RPFA provided incredible support and our students responded with donations of goods and heartfelt cards with messages of support. Secondary School Service Coordinator, Ms Riley, generously travelled to Lismore in a van last weekend to deliver the donations and was devastated to see the significant challenges that people are still having to confront. The situation may no longer be front page news; however, for people on the ground in Lismore, the challenge of rebuilding their town and their lives remains a daily reality.
The standard of the performances at the Vocal Competition last Friday evening was outstanding, which was reflected in the comments and encouragement provided by ARIA award winning guest judge, Meg Mac. There is significant courage involved in standing before an audience and singly solo, especially for the younger students in Year 7. The Senior Music Festival this Friday evening promises to be another memorable night of entertainment.
Student leaders have focused their messages on encouraging participation and taking a risk with trying new events, leading up to the recent Swimming Carnivals and the Secondary School Athletics Carnival next week. The Junior and Secondary Swimming Carnivals were a great opportunity for students to represent and support their Houses. There was a positive atmosphere at both events with a large number of students actively involved and colourfully dressed. Congratulations to Cowper and Dumolo Houses on winning the Junior and Secondary events respectively.
