Working Bee a great success
I wish to thank all of the members of the Eaglehawk Rotary Club, community members, staff, parents and students that came to our working Bee on Saturday morning. I estimate that we had between thirty and forty people in attendance.
We were very lucky with the weather. On the morning we managed to clean up the front garden and the gardens around the Church and the Stephanie Alexander garden. We also opened up the garden at the back of the prep room to provide students with a shady area and dig up and replenish the sand pit. A real bonus was that a group of parents scrubbed and cleans all of the chairs from the Kitchen. Our school council provided the morning tea and the Eaglehawk Rotary Club cooked a BBQ lunch.
I wish I had a photo of our Council president
Duncan Murley cleaning our the pigeon
droppings out of the gutters above the
school entrance! (webmasters note: We have one on our Facebook Page here)
A special thanks are due to ASQ for supplying plants and sand, and to Greenawaybins
for their generous support.
Literacy Festival
Grades Prep/1 and 1/2S will take part in the Literacy Festival this Thursday 27th October. Children will walk from the school to the Eaglehawk Town Hall. Children will then go in groups to businesses in Eaglehawk for story reading. They will also have a story telling session with Jan Wositzki at the Town Hall. All the children will then go across to Canterbury Park where Heydeeho will entertain them in the soundshell and they will receive a sausage from Rotary.
