Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,


Book fair and Grandparents’ Morning Tea
Thank you and congratulations to Mrs Broers and Mrs Patmore for their organisation of the Book Fair and Grandparents Morning Tea. And thanks to all the families who supported the event – it was a tremendous success, with hundreds of grandparents and other family members visiting our school on the day. A very special thanks to everyone who contributed plates of food to share and to the many volunteers who helped with sales and service.


Swimming Carnival
Thank you, everyone, for your patience and understanding as we have been making alternative plans for our swimming carnival following the Yass Pool closure. The school selections ran very smoothly yesterday – thanks to all the families that made the trek out to Boorowa – and we have a team of 22 swimmers representing Mt Carmel at the Northern Region Swimming Carnival tomorrow. Congratulations to Mabel Adie, Vincent Da Deppo, Grace Deer, Sophie Donoghue, Harry Donoghue, George Dougles, Xavier Doyle, Juliette Glover, Asher Gorman, Jessica Hardy, Aria Hodgson, Ivy Howarth, Fletcher Lees, Jack Maher, Hannah Maher, Eleena Mattappallil, Zara McEvoy, Rosie Rainger, Barnaby Rainger, Archer Regan, Edward Shannon, and Neva Welsh; swim well, everybody!
