The Dunoon and District Gazette

Our end of term concert and morning tea provided the perfect opportunity for children and parents to collect produce from our kitchen garden.

Term 2 always seems to pass quickly with an emphasis on sporting events such as the Cross Country and Athletic Carnivals as well as teams playing in the knockout comps for soccer and Rugby League.

The end of term two crept up quickly, as we were immersed in a plethora of special activities and happenings.

Welcome to another term. As well as our core business of literacy and numeracy, term 3 is all about the Performing Arts Festival and athletic carnivals.

We had an excellent Cross Country at Corndale School on Friday 9th May. Perfect weather for everyone to get outside and enjoy a picnic lunch while watching the races!

It has been a busy start to the term with the establishment of a new learning area in our old residence to accommodate the Infants class due to the removal of our demountable.

We shook out our tail feathers with all the collected dew and damp from term one, and ran excitedly into our back garden.

Oriane Villiers was named Junior Girl Champion in the District Swimming Carnival

The damp weather has provided a different start to preschool for 2008. Being inside and on the verandah allowed for a cosy family atmosphere. The new preschoolers have settled in well and we’re all enjoying their company.
Our AGM was a great success, with most of last years committee staying on board, with renewed enthusiasm, ready to launch into many new and exciting ventures. We recently purchased a compost bin, which has generated a focus on creating a sustainable kitchen garden. The aim is to provide for the children an environment to encourage the growing and cooking of their own produce.

This year should be another challenging and rewarding one for our students and staff at Modanville. Term 1 is always a busy one with new classes settling in and new routines being established. Teachers have conducted after school information sessions for parents to acquaint them with the programs and class organization.
This year we have welcomed 15 new Kinder students and 4 others in higher grades. We hope they are settling in well to our school environment.
