Winter Sports: Monday June 1st

What a fantastic Day! The weather was cold but the rain stayed away (for the most part).

I would like to thank PFA helpers Tash Chandler, Jamie Watkinson and Alena Melrose for their help with the BBQ - great job. A special mention to school dads Simon Oliver and Gerry Tomkins for helping out with the gear.

 

The students had a wonderful time with many children taking part in their first sports tournament. Well done to our coaches : Jorden (netball), Kerry ( Tball), Jarryd (Soccer), Sherre (Soccer) and Jack (Soccer).

 

It was wonderful to have Lucknow, 754 and the Mitchell schools taking part. Congratulations to everyone involved.

 

In the end the Paynesville Tball team progressed through to the district competition. Well done.

Reconciliation Week at Paynesville Primary

Assembly on Monday was a wonderful way to start Reconciliation Week. Guests included Lynn Soloman - Dent and Nathaniel Van Delden. The hall was packed with students, parents, grandparents and pre-schoolers. Students left their handprint on the school mural and the choir sang beautifully.

 

 

 

As the week has continued all grades have headed to the Krowathunkoolong (Keeping Place) in Bairnsdale to learn more about local Indigenous history and culture. Rob Hudson has been teaching the students about pre-european life in East Gippsland and the students have loved the learning.
