Marks Point Classroom

We are now into our third week of term and teachers and students are really applying themselves to the task of quality teaching and learning. It was great to see so many parents attending our parent information sessions last week and this week. Our P & C meet next Thursday 18th February at 5:30pm in the computer room. Join us if you can.

Swimming Carnival Champions 2010

We kicked off this week with our school swimming carnival and our students participated enthusiastically in a great day of competition and fun. Thanks to Mrs Banks and Mrs Jones for their organisation and to all the staff and parents who assisted on the day. The results of the carnival are as follows:

1st place: GULLS, 2nd place: EAGLES, 3rd place: SWANS and 4th place: ALBATROSS.

CARNIVAL CHAMPIONS:

Junior Boy: Liam C, Junior Girl: Courtney M, Senior Boy: Hayden C and Senior Girl: Lauren A

While Years 1 to 6 were at the swimming carnival on Monday our Kindergaten students, Mrs Johns and Miss McDonell celebrated Spot’s birthday with a party back at school.

The Active After School Community sessions also commenced this week with water activities at school and sailing at the 16 Footers at Belmont. Once again these activities have been very popular with our students. A huge thank you to parents and staff who transported students to and from the 16 Footers at short notice when the bus didn’t arrive.

Welcome back to a brand new school year! A huge welcome to our new Kindergarten students and to other new students and their families.
