Bungendore Rotary Public Speaking Competition
Congratulations to Molly, Callum and Raine for their terrific performance at the Public Speaking competition at Bungendore on Tuesday night. Families, Mrs Carroll and Ms Lowman were so proud of all their efforts.
Year 3-6 Camp 2018 We have been able to secure a 3 day camp at Jindabyne Sports and Recreation Centre. To secure a spot on the camp for your child/ren we require a $50 deposit by Friday 11th May 2018 (Week 2, Term 2). If you wish to make more payments before this date or payment in full please don’t hesitate. A payment of $50 every 5 weeks reduces the need for a large lump sum payment at the end.
