7th October 24 First Day Term 4 Student Free Day
Congratulations to the collective Yackandandah Football and Netball teams over the weekend. Reward for a year of hard work and training!
The Yr. 5/6 camp to Sovereign Hill concluded last Friday evening. Well done to the students on embracing the opportunity to learn about Australia’s history in context. Thanks Lauren, Liz & Brendan for your time and care. Thank you also to the parent volunteers who gave their time and care to support the students and staff.
This is the final week of Term Three. School finishes at 2:30 this Friday. Assembly will be at 2:10pm.
This week is Amber’s last week at Yackandandah Primary School. Amber has stepped into the business manager’s role during Sandra’s leave and has done an exemplary job keeping us ticking along. Thanks, Amber, for your dedication and support over the last six months. Sandra rejoins us at the start of Term Four, refreshed and recharged after a much-deserved break.
Don’t forget! 7th October, first day of Term 4 is a pupil free day.
As my time at Yackandandah Primary School has come to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole Yackandandah Primary School Community for making me feel so welcome the last 6 months.
Yackandandah Primary School is a beautiful school, with incredible Students, Parents and Teacher’s. I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to work at this amazing school.
I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing school holidays; Sandra will see you all in Term 4.
Thank you once again
Amber.

DIVISION ATHLETICS
Our Division Athletics event on Friday 11th October at the Albury, Les O’Brien Athletics Precinct. Students who have qualified can participate in 2 events, plus the relay. I met with all the students last week to discuss details regarding the event, and I have given them a timetable with important information included.
The permission forms are due back today.
Also, there was an error with the information sent home. The bus is leaving at 8:30am – before the school bus arrives. Please ignore the information in brackets on the sheet sent home. You will need to make sure your child is at school by 8:20am, so I can account for all students.
Students will be travelling by bus and there will be a cost of $10 to cover the entry fee and bus expenses. There will be no canteen on the day, so like House and District Athletics, students are to take a packed lunch, snacks, a broad brimmed hat, water bottles and sunscreen. Students are expected to wear school uniform.
Robyn Wilson and Lauren will be the staff in attendance on the day.
Students in 5/6 have been creating their own version of 'That bird has arms' collage creations and students in
3/4 have been working on making foil etching plates and hand printing them over the past three weeks.
This week we are having a BBQ Sizzle to finish off a busy term.
Thanks to everyone that helped out this term! Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Enjoy the school holidays!
