Cross Country
Yesterday students from Grade 3 – 6 represented Boat Harbour Primary School at the North West Cross Country.  The team of students had an early start to get to Ulverstone for their events, competing in ideal running conditions.  In the first race of the day Harry G led the whole way to be pipped at the post, coming second after an excellent run. Joining him in the Grade 4 boys race were River and Sam who both put in a top effort running 1800m.  Our Grade 4 girls proved to be strong competitors, well done Brianna, Frances, Indi and Scarlett.  Our Grade 3 students travelled to Ulverstone for the first time to compete running 1500m, congratulations Ollie, Jacob, Billie, Jake, Jaelyn, Marli, and Jovi.

Our Grade 5 boys and girls ran 2200m and all tried their best, well done Kira, Ezekiel, Rhys, Deij, Abbie, Leo and Ellie.  Our Grade 6 competitors were Dylan, Emma, Leilani, Sophie and Olivia, running 2500m.  The most impressive thing on the day was that these students put in their best effort, never gave up and didn’t take the easy option to not go.  Well done everyone on representing our school in such a fantastic manner.

Fundraising
Our fundraising group of parents continue to not only raise money to support every child across our school, but provide wonderful opportunities also.  The Party Platter Day was a delicious example of this.  The team of ladies and sponsors certainly spoilt our taste buds, creating a treat for us all to enjoy.  Thank you to the fundraising group for your continued hard work and generosity of your time.

Path improvements
This week we have seen some new paths made and other existing paths receive some work.  We thank members of our school community for keeping clear of these spots across the school to enable these upgrades to occur.  The purpose for this work is to help provide safe access to and around the school, they will be fantastic when completed by the end of the week.
