2 PRIMARY CROSS COUNTRY: Tuesday was a perfect May day for our Primary Cross Country Carnival. All students were enthusiastic and prepared to have a go in their age races. Many were determined to walk the course, even if they were not able to run it. Positions were given to the first 8 students finishing in each event. Many of these students will be offered the opportunity to represent our school at the Cronulla District Cross Country Championships on Tuesday 22 nd May at Kurnell. Every participant was given house points for entering and the overall winner of this years carnival was Kurrajong. Thank you to those wonderful parents who had the patience and enthusiasm to supervise sections of the running course and helped ensure our children were safe. Your contribution was an important one and was greatly appreciated.

Thank you to our bus drivers for the care you take with our children. Yesterday I witnessed a wonderful example of our village raising our children. I met my six year old at the bus stop as we have to cross Loftus St to get home and after all, she is only six. Yesterday I was late and as I hurried down the hill I saw the bus pull up and Holly get off. I hope she waits for me, I thought. Then I saw the driver, Greg, join Holly on the footpath, take her by the hand, and walk her safely across the busy road. Imagine this occurring anywhere else in Sydney! This was yet another example of the extraordinary environment our children enjoy and of those harderto-define benefits of attending our local school. Thank you Greg I hope you read this newsletter, and thank you to all the Bundeena-Maianbar Bus Service team for the care you take with our kids. Dani Karis Any other stories that demonstrate how it takes a village to raise a child are welcome. MOTHERS DAY STALL Wow I am amazed at the effort Michelle Piggott has put into our school s Mothers Day stall. It is hard to imagine the hours of work involved in purchasing, wrapping and setting up the items. From all of us sincere thanks Michelle, you are one of the fantastic Mums at our school.
