A week of congratulations!

New Student Leaders:
Congratulations to the 20 Student Leaders who were inducted on Monday the 19th.  It was a great morning for all of the students, and a delight to see so many supportive families and friends there to celebrate too.  We will publish some special photos in this weeks newsletter to share with everyone!

Swimming news!
The other congratulations are for the swimming carnival! 

Firstly I need to thank Ms Ferris and all of the staff who helped out on the day, but it would have not been such a pleasure to be at the pool if it had not been for the fabulous students.  Once again our students represented themselves with pride, showing sportsmanship, team work and a whole lot of effort!  

More importantly will be the congratulations to Healy for winning the overall points on the day and to Moondarra: best house on the day!  Great work to every single swimmer on the day!

Go Teams!

Friday the 23rd of March is the 2012 Swimming Carnival.  On this day our 3 Houses, Corella, Julius and Moondarra, all named after Lakes in the region, vie for the Championship Points.  The students from Mt Isa Central will also be there, so it will be a good test of sportsmanship and swimming skills.

Students in year 4-7 are all invited to participate and demonstrate their increasing swimming skills.  There are events for beginners, novice and advanced students, so there is always a way you can participate and earn points for you house.  Also stay tuned for the war cries!  They should raise the roof.

Students should arrive at the pool for an 8:30 start, and will come back to school by bus.  Of course, swimmers, hat, towel, water bottle, sunscreen etc are all essential.

On return to school it is a Red Food Day and there will be drinks on sale by the year 6/7 students to fund raise for camp, as well as treats at the tuckshop.  There is no tuckshop first break.

Looking forward to a fabulous day with our amazing Healy swimmers!

Yours in Education

P and C AGM Results

Firstly I would like to thank the committee of 2011 who worked together so well to support our students.  It was due to their diligence and support that many of the significant plans of the school have been established and developed, including grounds improvement plans, developing an annual operational plan, continuing the fund raising and resource contributions for the school.

So thank you to Julie, Mary Ann, Tracy, Mike, John and Kerri!

I always like to think of the P and C as the 'icing and sprinkles' on the cake, adding all those special things to school that are important to parents and students.

Last night the 2012 committee was voted in and they are:
President: Kerrie Melamed
Vice President: Wayne Hobbs
Treasurer: Tracy Tweedie
Secretary: Theona Parsons
QCPCA Rep: Mike Jones

I look forward to working with you all this year and continuing to build Healy SS to bigger and better things.

thanks
