Our Week 9 Working Bee
Thank you to our wonderful P&C, Staff and Students who got stuck in at our Working Bee on Friday last. Many
hands made very light work of a clean-up of the gardens between the Admin Block and B Block.
The work extended to the playground side of D Block (Library) and out to the Huntley Street side of the school.
The work has really spruced the place up and with a bit of luck the heavens will open over the holidays and everything will be an emerald green by the time our ANZAC Ceremony rolls around.
Thank you again to the P&C, Staff and Students who helped out. We appreciate your dedication and time.
Have a lovely Easter break.

EMERALD TOUCH FOOTBALL
To All Schools,
Emerald Touch will be still running the school touch competition this year with some changes. As the year sevens are at high school
now Emerald touch committee have decided that the competition will be grade 3/4 and grade 5/6. We will also be offering mini touch
(ball skills/ modify touch rules) for grades 1&2. The mini touch will be all schools combined and run by the touch committee. For mini
touch to run we need a minimum of 12 kids to join otherwise it will not only go ahead. Therefore could all schools please send out of
letter of interest to play mini touch to all grade 1 and 2 children so we can assess if we will have enough players. Below is information
regarding both competition.
Grade 3/4 & 5/6 competition
Will start on the Wednesday 13th May 2015.
The competition will run for 10 weeks , breaking only for school holidays and the show holiday.
Game times will be advised once Emerald touch knows the number of teams in the competition.
All teams must have a school coach.
The grand final day will be Wednesday the 5th of August 2015.
It will cost $50 per player (we have discounted the fees this year due to the current financial strain in Emerald).
Grade 1 & 2 Mini Touch
It will start on the 27th of May 2015.
The Mini touch comp will run for 8 weeks, breaking only for school holidays and the show holiday.
Touch Committee will run mini touch however parents are more than welcome to help.
The grand final day will be Wednesday the 5th of August 2015.
It will cost $40 to play mini touch.
For children to play in the above comps we will need a registration form filled out by their parents and payment made before they take
the field. Usually Emerald touch has a sign on day for school touch and we take the rego forms and payments. However this year we
would like if the schools could please collect all registration forms and payments by 8th of May and hand them to Krystle to process.
Krystle can come to the schools to collect or you can drop them off and once processed she will write out receipts and hand them to
you. We would like to try taking registration this way as it will help us and the school make sure everyone has registered for the comp. If
your school cannot take the registration and payment please let me know and we will arrange a sign on day.
The grand finals will be the 5th of August so if any schools have camps on the week of the 3rd of August please let me know ASAP so we
can try and change the date. All players (including mini touch) will play on the grand final day and the will all receive a trophy, a drink
and a sausage on bread.
Please find attached the registration forms for the school competitions and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
Krystle.
