SMCS holds annual Cross Country run BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle
Over the last few weeks our Visitor Information Centre has received a number of complements on the town’s appearance and the facilities, particularly the Bombala River Walk. However visitors have commented on the fact that the main street has a problem with cigarette butts littering the footpath. While Council undertakes regular street and footpath cleaning it would be appreciated if smokers consider others and the image of our area by not littering. Now that the weather has started to cool down residents are reminded that collecting of fire wood is prohibited on the following roads – Mt Darragh, Tantawanglo, Delegate, Bibbenluke/Cathcart and also along Snowy River Way. Firewood can be collected from the side of the road without the need of a permit on other roads within the Council area. Firewood collectors are also reminded that they must not impede other road users, must respect property owners’ rights and should undertake collection in a safe manner.
The SMCS Cross Country was held on Friday April 1 The day started out cool and a bit foggy for the younger students but it warmed up nicely when the sun came out during the older student’s run. Going on from the success of last year’s North Ridge run for the 14 to 16 year olds this year the 12 and 13 year olds joined them on the rugged track. Students aged 6 to 11 years ran the 1km track layout for them at school. Thank you to all the parents who came out in support and helped to marshall the course. Thanks too to the Physical Activity and Sports Studies girls for their help in marking out the track. Awards and ribbons where given out in assembly last Monday morning.

SMCS public speaking competition Public speaking is often listed in the top five things that people fear. At SMCS we believe that public speaking is a skill for life. If, as adults we can speak up for what we believe in, share our faith and advocate for what is right we can make a difference in our world. So in preparing our students for the ‘journey of life’ all our students from kindergarten to Year 10 prepare a speech based on a given topic. This year the topics included: Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 – If I were an animal I would be…
Stage 2 – People who changed the world. Stage 3 – If I ruled the world… Stage 4 – Character traits that make a hero Stage 5 – Speeches that changed the world.
