With our Guess the Hearts in a jar our winner was Xanthe who guessed 105 and was the closest with there being 108 in the jar. EXTRAVAGANZA The Extravaganza is being held on Tuesday 31st July (not long to go) at the Swan Hill Town Hall. We are performing Rock through the Ages type songs. We will be having our dress on Tuesday 31st July Ourrehearsal School Captains Emilie & Ethan at the Town Hall and will need all students to have their costumes brought to school before this date. Costumes will be sent home with children that afternoon for them to come dressed in at the Town Hall that night. Hair on the night will be either lots of gel and spiked or we would love to see crimped hair (so lots of braids) that could be taken out on the Tuesday night. We will buy some ribbons to put in hair. We will require all students to wear base makeup (foundation) for the Extravaganza, as this takes the shine off their faces under the bright lights. We will leave it up to parents to apply lipstick and eye shadow if you wish for your child to wear this. We will be travelling in to town by bus for our Dress Rehearsal on Tuesday 31st July. We will require you to drop your child/ren off on the night of the performance though to the front of Target (Beveridge Street) by 6:40pm where teachers will be waiting. All students will need to be dressed ready in their Extravaganza clothes as we will not have anywhere to get changed. Tickets are on sale at the Swan Hill Regional Information Centre, corner McCrae and Curlewis Streets at $6 for adults and $3 for children. (Performing students do not require a ticket). Tickets are also available online at www.swanhilltownhall.com where you go to Buy Tickets and click on Extravaganza. Our school is running the canteen on the night. Please find at the end of today s Newsletter a roster of helpers. There are still another couple of spots that need to be filled. Every student is required to pay $10 for the cost of the bus for rehearsals and other costs that we will have.
We versed Swan Hill North on Wednesday night. Vetaya into goals and our team into attack. Josh led the way with Dom and Sharni following up with great pressure. Thomas Mr Ever Reliable in defence. Vetaya with a brilliant bouncing throw through their attack to Josh. Fantastic teamwork on display everyone working very hard. Josh with some spectacular efforts intercepting, heading and kicking the ball with much force! Marshal scored after many loose cannon shots fired off randomly! Quickly scored again very shortly after. Dom with some terrific defensive play intercepting and passing through to his team mates. Josh with a spectacular volley into the goal after running in to meet the sideline kick in from Marshal. Second half with Vetaya in the goals for the start. Josh helped out the opposition to give them a score on the board. Sharni was showing how much her confidence has grown into the play and tackling hard. Vetaya made a super save. Josh and Marshal another great teaming to score again. Marshal with the corner kick over the top with Josh positioned well to push it over the line and into the net. Marshal smashed another one into the net and scored another shortly after. Dom into goals and read the ball really well and cleared it out. Sharni and Thomas applying pressure passed through to Marshal and scored the 7th goal of the game. Final score 7-4. Dom was this weeks winner of the Woorinen Store Award. SCHOOL PHOTOS School Photos will be taken NEXT Monday 23rd July. All students need to bring back their photo envelope (online orders will have a receipt number which needs to be on each child s envelope) If you are wishing to order family photo s these will be taken first.

Extravaganza Canteen Roster As you will all be aware the State Schools Extravaganza is on the 31 st July 2018. Our school is running the canteen as a Parent s Club fundraiser. We are chasing volunteers to help out. If you are not confident with money that is not a problem as you can be grabbing purchases while someone else takes the money. Our aim is to work as a team to ensure the canteen runs smoothly. Please note the canteen will only be open before the Extravaganza and during interval times. We have made sure our school will not be preforming at the beginning of the night or before and after intervals so that our parent volunteers do not miss out on seeing their kids perform. Volunteers needed for: Pre Orders This will be done earlier on during the day around lunch time (exact time to be confirmed).
