CARRA NEWS 19 OCTOBER 2022

Hi everyone,
We have had a fantastic start to Term 4 with all our students well settled back into their classrooms and their learning.

In these first three weeks, the children have had visits from various Landcare groups, including a presentation from RCOW’s Waste Education Officer, Sally Hughes, giving us tips on how to recycle effectively. The Men’s Shed visited last Friday showing us how to build nesting boxes for our native wildlife and tomorrow Albury/Wodonga Turtles will help us learn more about turtle habitats.

Two of our senior students, Isla Waldhart and Liam Bennett competed in the District Athletics in the 200 Metre Sprint and Discus respectively and did themselves proud.
The Year 3/4 students enjoyed three days and two nights at the Priory in Beechworth for their camp and learnt lots about our local history and the history of gold. These students were just amazing in their ability to look after themselves independently and engage fully in the learning and activities provided through the camp.

Last week we began Ten-Pin Bowling at Wangaratta Supa Bowl as part of our P.E program delivered through Sporting Schools Australia. We have four more sessions lined up for Friday afternoons.

Yesterday we had a full day of Athletics Sports with our cluster of schools. There were lots of sore muscles moving around today! We were very proud of the efforts of our students in the events and of their excellent behavour.

Tomorrow we are off to WPAC for a performance by Melbourne symphony Orchestra and It’s only Week 3!!
