0e had a great night with the R-7 students last Thursday night. Thank you to Louise, Lisa and Ben
being a /art of the night, all the kids had an absolute ball. 0e would also like to thank the Berryman’s who hosted us at Li/son <over on the Friday. Rochelle had organised a number of ac-vi-es
for us to do at the beach in rela-on to the red hooded /lover. 2ome of our students went looking
for their nests and to their sur/rise they found one, with an egg in it. They also saw a baby chick!
>thers made nests in the sand and made eggs out of /las-cine. It was a great learning ex/erience
for the kids and adults alike, es/ecially us all /ushing the bus out of the sand.
2haron <am/bell will be joining out staffing team for 2015, taking over Nikki’s 22> role. 2haron
has worked as an 22> at many schools on the Lower E, and brings a wealth of ex/er-se. 2he will
be here on Mondays at this stage.
This is the last -me I will write in this newsle8er. I have truly loved being a /art of the @ngarra
community, thank you to everyone for their su//ort and encouragement throughout the last cou/le of years. I will look back at my -me at this school with many fond memories. I find myself being slightly jealous of Aathy next year, geBng to work with a great bunch of kids, their families
and a wonderful staff.
