Chooks
It is with great excitement that we announce the arrival of three baby chicks! We put eggs into an incubator during the holidays and had our first attempt at raising chicks. The three babies are growing fast under the heat lamp in 4A. While they have names for identification we will save naming them until we know if they are boys or girls. There have been many predictions but we are waiting for certainty! They are being handled and happily have visitors so feel free to drop in : )

Local Heroes
It was wonderful to see the hard work of parents and students recognised in the Hornsby Council’s Local Heroes article. If you didn’t get to read it please visit the Hornsby Shire Council Facebook Page.

Fence
Work has been continuing on the painting of the new garden fence. Students have been busy drawing their designs. I tis estimated we will need about 70 posts and so far 30 have been painted. They are looking amazing and it will be great to see it all finished!
