Students from Sydney, North and South Coast, Hunter, North West, Western and Riverina regions were represented at this carnival.
Mae had qualified for her first CHS State Athletics Carnival in the 12 Years Shot Put. Mae was familiar with the venue as she had participated at the PSSA State Athletics Carnival in 2016. Mae performed very well at her first secondary carnival, throwing 6.37m (3kg) and placing 19th in NSW.
Mae had lots of fun and is to be congratulated on her success in this sport in 2017. Thank you to Suzanne Lucas for transporting and supporting Mae in Sydney. Caroline Stewart

Entry by donation or sponsorship.
People are welcome to dress in their footy colours, fancy dress or whatever. Bring a football, netball or any ball & bounce or kick onto Mirrool.

Coming up this term:
Book week PLP’s School photos Zone athletics carnival Police talk 4th September School excursion week 10 this term
GENERAL BUSINESS President Suzanne Lucas has looked at the books in detail for the last 3 years, to establish where we make money, and how we can effectively move forward to run at a profit with fewer family numbers, as the P&C has had significant loss in some areas. We will no longer cater for the rainbow run. We will not cater for the show this year. We will keep catering for the study days and picnic races. P&C will run a monster raffle so all families can be involved in raising money for P&C in their own time. Raffle to start in February and finish at a time TBC in 2018. P&C will donate $100 per student towards the school excursion cost, potentially $3300.00 depending on student numbers. Next meeting5th September.
