Dear Parents Guardians and Carers,

We have had a fantastic week of performances at the Sixtieth Yarram Eisteddfod. I would
like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the students on how they conducted
themselves walking to and from the theatre and the enthusiastic approach to participating in
Vocal Groups, Recitations and our One-Act Play.
Well Done, Everyone!
To all the staff, I extend my gratitude for the positive approach and enthusiasm during the
uncertainty of COVID times. The effort to prepare students was evident in the smiles and
excited chatter from students walking on and off the stage.
I would like to share some responses from students about their experiences this week

Eisteddfod Week
By Lilly Kidd
I love the Eisteddfod because you get to have a go at something new and different.
You could even get a place with your poem, song and play.
The most important thing is to have a go.
When you get up on the stage, it builds your confidence, and that’s very
important.

Eisteddfod Week
By Lyla Banfield
I like the Eisteddfod because it gives students a chance to gain confidence.
I felt scared walking onto the stage, but I learnt from that, and I am proud of my
achievements.
When I talked to other students, they felt the same, and it is important to share
how you feel.

The Grade Three and Four camp to Phillip Island will take place this Monday, 23rd of
August, to Wednesday, 25th August. The children have been eagerly awaiting this calendar event, and we are thrilled that they can go. The staff members joining the students will be Anthony Sheedy, Jo Griffiths and myself. Having participated in the camp before, I can guarantee that the students will have a fantastic time and come back suitably exhausted!

Enjoy a relaxing week.
Maria.
