Principal’s News

March is certainly living up to expectations with so many activities occurring across the school this month.

Athletics Day last week was a wonderful culmination of team work from both staff, students and parents from the high school and local primary schools. It was wonderful to see so many parents here cheering on the students, helping out with events and cooking the BBQ. To the students who filled events and put in their best effort in every event they were in, be proud of yourselves. It is very important to acknowledge the work of the staff and in particular Jordan Smith and the Sports committee for the work that went in, often unseen to ensure the day ran smoothly. The grounds were prepared to a very high standard largely due to the work of Barry Martin.

This week we have commenced grape picking of perhaps our biggest crop of grapes ever. Whilst the weather was quite warm it was certainly a good example of the whole school getting behind the day and working very hard to get the harvest in. Again there is a lot of work that has occurred behind the scenes to prepare for this week, with an amazing team of enthusiastic teachers and support staff all working together.

On Monday 23rd March the whole school will head to Jamestown for the MNSEC Athletics day and gain we are looking for enthusiasm and team work from all of our students in either participating or supporting their peers.

Only last week 8 of our students represented MNSEC at the SSSSA Swimming in Adelaide. We appreciated all of the parents who were able to attend and support the students. From what I have heard our students swam very well and did themselves proud.
