Many of our students participated in the parade wearing our school colours and walked proudly behind the quilt handmade and gifted by Noreen Holmes. The Art competition saw a lot of amazing drawings relating to the Timber History of our town The winners received their rewards during our assembly on Friday:

1st Prize: Jack Gell

2nd Prize: Jack Molphy

3rd Prize: Ruby Cassidy

Swimming

Students who won their swimming races at the Heyfield PS Swimming Carnival received their ribbons at our Friday assembly. Nearly all of them represented our school at the District Swimming Carnival on Wednesday 23rd February in Sale. The next stage is the Wellington Network Swimming Carnival.

Anne, our lollypop lady!

Anne has been a lollypop lady for 20 years since Friday. What an achievement! She explained in her speech that she has seen two generations come passed throughout her years. Ex-students now bringing her own children to school. We acknowledged her patience and kindness with a card and some flowers during our assembly.

A very special moment for a very special lady, our lollypop lady!
