Last Thursday we had students participate in the Tully 10-12yrs District Cross Country.  Congratulations to all students for a tremendous effort on the day with outstanding overall results! Thank you to all parents who assisted with transport for our students and to those who supported from the sidelines.

Further HPE updates can be found in Sport News.

We are fortunate to have a wonderful HPE teacher and thank Mrs Cherie Jenkins for her continual support and organization of the events for students at St. Clare’s.

White Water Rafting Championships

Many of you would know we currently have many visitors in town with the World Rafting Championships. Go to https://www.wrc2019.com/ for further information.

Later today 14 of our students will have an opportunity to march in the Opening Ceremony bearing flags and banners for Australia, Costa Rica and Czech Republic. One of our Yr 6 students, Holly Maifredi will also be involved in the ceremony on Sunday night.

Earn and Learn

Remember to spread the word that we are collecting stickers from Woolworths. Families who need extra sticker sheets can collect them from our school office. Once a sheet is filled please send them in to go in our collection box in the office. Thank you for supporting our school to gain valuable resources that our students benefit from.

Staffing update

Ms Tish Porter, our school cleaner, has tendered her resignation as at the end of this term. Tish and her family will be relocating to southern Queensland. We thank Tish for her dedication to St Clare’s and wish her well with her new endeavours.

NAPLAN testing

Students in Yrs 3 & 5 will be involved in the National NAPLAN testing from Tuesday to Thursday this week. Testing will be done in an online environment for all tests apart from the Yr 3 Writing.

Just a reminder that I am on leave from next Thursday May 23 and will return to school at the commencement of Term 3. Please contact Kath Kennedy for all school matters during the remainder of the term.

Best wishes for a great week ahead,

Narelle Harney
