Boneo Buzz: 6th December

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our parent helpers and community volunteers in 2019!  To show our appreciation for all the support you have provided, you are invited to a special breakfast.

Thursday 12th December at 8am. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Thank you for coming to celebrate the end of a great year at our annual concert. Resoundingly, having ‘Tones’ join the festivities was a huge hit on the night. Best ever, I’m told. I must admit, I am still recovering from being seen in public in Mr Coop’s infamous shorts.

Boneo Choir Performance Day with Ms Sison

On Wednesday, the Boneo Choir presented 3 Christmas concerts at local aged care facilities.

They performed two shows for residents of the Village Glen, and a third for residents of Rosebrook.

The students were very well received and provided some great entertainment for the residents. Ruby Johansson had made some small gifts for residents at both venues, and spent some time handing those out after the concert.

It was a long day and I thoroughly commend all Choir members for their dedication, thoughtfulness and professionalism. I was extremely proud of them and had wonderful feedback and gratitude from the organisers.

Thanks to Ms Sison’s husband, Nic for driving the bus!

Prep – Boneo Discovery Park

At the Boneo Maze I paddle boarded up the lake with Elias’ mum. It was fun. (Charlotte)

On Friday, all the Preps went to the Boneo Maze. I went on the climbing wall. I got stuck, but I got really high. (Easton)

 I liked the Boneo Maze because I liked the sand sculptures. ( Eszter)

,Prep – Moonlit Sanctuary

 On Wednesday, we went to the Moonlit Sanctuary and I saw the dingoes and the Tasmanian devils. (Georgia)

 At the Moonlit Sanctuary, I saw a kangaroo and the kangaroo had a baby in its tummy and I saw a koala. (Katiia)

 At the Moonlit Sanctuary I collected feathers and I saw the opening of the eagle enclosure. (James)

 I fed the kangaroo at the Moonlit Sanctuary. (Xavier)

Year 6 Wilsons Promontory Camp

 Recently, the Year 6 students took part in what would be their final Boneo Primary School camp experience to the beautiful Wilsons Promontory.

There, students took in the sights and sounds of the National Park, as they embarked on several walks, including hikes to the summit of Mount Oberon, Little Oberon Bay, and a trip to Squeaky Beach. The students enjoyed time at Tidal River, where they played beach games and water activities, and frequented the General Store.

We would like to thank Noel Hutchinson, Evan Stampe, Gary Goodwin, Kris Rowe, Chris Trigg, Kylie Hacking and Emma Neubecker for their hard work and amazing support while on camp. The students had a fantastic time and left with some lasting memories.
