Dear Parents/Carers
Over half-way through the term already, how it’s flown…
Our Year 5/6 students had an amazing time at Billabong Ranch in Echuca last week. Across the three days, students challenged themselves, tried new things and made plenty of memories. Highlights included camel rides, peddle boating, orienteering, night walks, roasting marshmallows around the campfire and watching an impressive fire show. It was great to see students stepping outside their comfort zones, supporting one another and embracing every activity with enthusiasm. While there were definitely a few tired faces by the end of camp, many students seemed determined to stay up as late as possible each night. Unsurprisingly, the quietest part of the trip was the bus ride home! Huge shoutout to Ms. Cameron and Ms. Lindorff who organised the camp and made sure everyone had a fun, safe and enjoyable 3 days.
The Winter Gala is fast approaching in Week 8, with our teams busy refining their skills in preparation for competing against schools from across the region. If your child is attending, please ensure consent has been provided and payment has been made via Compass as soon as possible. We are currently finalising team lists and transport arrangements, and receiving permissions promptly will help us ensure the day runs smoothly. We look forward to seeing our students proudly represent Riverwalk Primary School at this exciting event.
Also a huge congratulations to Ayla in 6E for placing first in her 12/13 age group race at Division Cross Country!
