Author Incursion with Mark Greenwood
Last Friday was a huge day in our Library with Mark Greenwood sharing his amazing tales of adventure which led him to writing so many fabulous books. Mark is passionate about history and had staff and students totally engaged from start to finish. What an amazing life he has led. When researching his books, he has travelled to many remote locations including Jandamarra’s Cave, Anzac Cove – he has searched the desert for Lasseter’s Reef, visited volcanoes and much, much, more. What a treat! Thank you, Mark.

Thank you so much to the parents and students that attended the Kindy Playground Busy Bee. It was a huge community effort with the playground being topped up with sand and mulch.

Long Weekend Packs
Autumn is a beautiful season in terms of food.
Chestnuts are ripe for picking, the apples are crisp, persimmons are a delightful glossy orange and pears are sweet, green and golden. Better still, on old fashioned favourite is in season for a short time, Quinces.
Our WPS canteen kitchen has been taking advantage of a seasonal forage at the orchard. For the upcoming long weekend, we’ve made quince paste, shiraz & brown sugar poached pears, dried persimmon wafers and pink peppercorn & maple lavosh for our cheese hampers.
Brownes Vintage Cheddar is a highlight in our Relax Packs along with our homemade goodies.
Maple Nut Granola, Brownes Greek Honey Yoghurt and raspberry compote fill our Breakfast Pack.
These Long Weekend Packs, along with our fresh cookie bags, jams and relishes are available to pre-order now on Quickcliq under the Special Promotion tab or at the canteen counter.
Packs can be collected by children or adults at 3-3:30pm on Friday.
Pre-Primary Bluey Boxes are Coming!
Fabulous Florina, our resident artist, is in the kitchen making up samples of a very special Bluey Cookie. They look incredible!
We’ll let you know when they are ready to launch.

P&C Family Bush Dance
The P&C is holding a Family Bush Dance at with The Mucky Duck Bush Band on Saturday 24 June from 5-9pm at the Cambridge Bowling Club.
These guys are local legends, and plenty of parents will remember them playing at their own primary schools! For those who aren’t familiar with the idea of a bush dance, the music is lively and the dances are fun, easy to learn and tailored to suit different age groups, from little kids to grandparents. The band members explain the steps beforehand as well as during the dances. We’re very excited to get to experience this Australian tradition with our kids! Please note, this is a family event. Parents need to stay at the venue with their children. We hope to see plenty of parents on the dance floor too!
Tickets are $15 each via Qkr.
We will be serving dinner– pulled pork buns with slaw, delicious veggie burgers and of course it wouldn’t be a bush dance without a sausage sizzle!
Please order your food in advance on Qkr.
The club bar will be open for parents.
No BYO food or drinks please. This is a school community event to support Year 6 camp.
There will be raffles and games, so bring your coins! (EFTPOS will also be available)
We look forward to seeing you there.
