We have received a range of great community feedback from the day and a big thank you to you for playing your part in this.

A big shout out to our fabulous P&C volunteers and to our staff that gave up their time to help on the day.

District Cross Country

Well done to all the students who represented our school so very proudly at the district cross country yesterday. Every student ran their hearts out, but most importantly did this with school spirit and great sportspersonship. Thank you to Ben Sterland for the coordination of this and well done Team Evatt.

Year 3/4 Camp

We have loved hearing the stories trickle in about the fabulous time our students in years 3/4 have had at camp over the past few days. Even the cold weather and a bit of rain has not stopped them having a fabulous time. I'm sure there will be many campers who return with wonderful stories that they will remember forever. No doubt some students will be going to bed early tonight!

A big thank you to our staff who have worked around the clock to make this wonderful experience possible for our students.

Waste Free Wednesday

Congratulations to so many students and families who put in the effort to ensure the lunchboxes were waste free on Wednesday. We had a great response with this across the school and we encourage families to continue this to improve our sustainable practices.

Our students also enjoyed milkshake day on Wednesday as we used up the leftover milk from election day and then we filled our cups with soil and planted tomato seeds that we look forward to seeing grow over the next few months.

Congratulations to these students who were the winners of our Waste Free Wednesday Prizes. They will receive them next week.

• Cooper H - Preschool

• Oliver - KHL

• Nico - 3KO

• Kenzie - 5/6AF
