We’ve had a fantastic and positive start to Term 2 in the Year 3 and 4 classrooms at Baringa! Thanks to Mrs Amanda Peterson for filling in during my absence for the first 2 weeks of term.

Middle School Cross Country

Recently, many of our students took part in the Middle School Cross Country event, demonstrating amazing effort, determination, and school spirit. It was wonderful to see everyone trying their best and supporting one another throughout the day. Congratulations to all who participated and made the event such a success!

Mother’s Day

Our Mother’s Day Stall is in full motion. A huge thank you to the P & C for your organisation - students have enjoyed purchasing gifts this week. The final day for purchasing will be this Friday. Any students who have not yet had the chance to buy a gift can visit the Learning Kitchen during lunch breaks for any last-minute purchases.

We are sure the lucky recipients of these gifts will be delighted with the thought students have put into the selection.

We also wish all of our mothers and mother figures, a wonderful day on Sunday.

                Mother’s Day joke for a giggle:

What did the mommy spider say to the Baby spider? You spend too much time on the web.
