Not sure what to donate? We still need lots of cans of drink and items for the cake stall and ice cream stall.

Sporting Triumph!

-------------------

Today our students played a hard fought game to draw in the inaugural Interschool Soccer Friendly against Islington Public School. The game was organised to assist in each school’s transition program and to develop stronger links between schools in the Callaghan cluster.

The game started strongly with Tighes Hill leading the scoring and dominating early play. Islington fought back and equalised early in the second half. Both teams battled it out until the final whistle, resulting in a one-all draw.

Referee Greg Fullford declared that the game was one of the more skilled and sportingly played that he could recall. I was so impressed with the teamwork and the camaraderie displayed by all students and it was great to see handshakes and hugs at the end of the match.

Special mention must go to the team captain Callum for his terrific sportsmanship and leadership, Mitch for being a great team player and Lachlan and Ethan for their energy and enthusiasm.

We all had such a great time and students are keen for another match soon. We look forward to organising future interschool events and thank our school communities for their support.

Cluster Choir Performance

Last night our amazing 3-6 Choir performed at Waratah High school as part of the Callaghan Cluster Choir group. Our students performed their songs beautifully which was a reflection of all the hard work and effort they have been putting into their practices over the last few months. A big thank you to Miss Beker and Mrs Ireland for all their organisation and hard work. Well done!

Year 6 Transition

Our Year 6 students who are enrolling at Callaghan College Waratah in 2014 have been offered a wonderful opportunity to take part in an excursion to Tree Tops Adventure park on Thursday 12th September as part of their transition program. Notes were sent home last Friday and need to be returned to school by the end of this week.

Congratulations to our wonderful OC students who participated in the Newcastle University Science and Engineering Challenge Day at Kahibah Public school today. Students took part in a variety of challenging tasks including bridge building, mini catapult making and testing, electric circuit construction and building a working vehicle. Our clever students once again impressed us with their knowledge and talent and were the winning school of the competition. Well done OC!
