A small taste of India in the outback The students in Mrs Scholefield’s Year 4 class have been learning about other cultures and how Australia is made up of people from many different cultural backgrounds. On Monday 26th February we were lucky enough to have Karuna come in to our class wearing her Sari. Karuna discussed what life is like in India.
After the visit the students were asked what information they found the most interesting, these were some of their responses:- there are 29 states and 18 languages in India; some people do not eat beef because they believe that cattle are sacred; children learn English from when they are born and English is used in schools.

Dear Parents & Friends Welcome to another fortnightly newsletter we had a successful Market Day on February 17th raising $810 through the stall holders fees, P&F corner and lucky squares competition. The lucky squares competition was won by Kelly Matthews. We will be selling these at future Market Days from the Coffee corner. Our next Market Day is Saturday March 17th. See you there! Our next Parents and Friends meeting is April 4th in the school staffroom starting at 7:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and we are always looking for more volunteers. The money raised during the year goes back into the school which ultimately helps your children. Thankyou, Annette Jackson on behalf of the P&F Committee
