2018 COMMUNITY REPORT

Students fromYears 7, 8 and 9, along with students from Senior School, were involved in the College Musical ‘The Addams Family’. The students did an outstanding job and put together a brilliantly entertaining and fun filled production. OurYear 5 and 6 students also did a great job with two separate performances of ‘Hairspray Jr’ with two different casts. The talent of ourYear 9 students was also showcased at the Out of the Blue concert, the Ensemble Concert, performances at the College Annual Fair as well as at Canowindra’s GotTalent. The depth of talent that exists within our student body is truly amazing. There is such a broad range of opportunities in which our students can participate, and whether it is sport, music, performing arts, public speaking or any other type of cocurricular involvement or major event, our students do an outstanding job of rising to the occasion, showcasing their talents and representing their College with pride. The involvement of our parent community in so many aspects of the day to day activities is truly appreciated by all of us, especially the students and it is a major element of what makes Overnewton such a unique and special place of learning. Working Bees, excursions, camps, the Library, the canteen, sausage sizzles,Auskick, PST activities - the list goes on and on. We are certainly blessed as a College to have this level of commitment from our parents. It is this commitment that makes so many of our programs successful for our students. The College Fair continues to be one of the major community events. This enormous undertaking by the Fair Committee and all of the parents involved is one of the major fund raisers for the Parents and Friends Committee enabling the P&F to generously fund the many projects they have over the years. The annual College Fair is such a wonderful community event not just for the Overnewton Community, but the broader community as well. For the 2018 school year, theTaylors Lakes Campus has a great deal to be proud of and for which to be thankful. The many wonderings of everyone have been put to good use, providing a great year of learning for the students. With the announcement of the College’s new Master Plan, the whole community will be wondering what the Campuses will look like when these new buildings are built and the new campus structures are put in place. It is an exciting time for the College and its future and the future learning of our students. Gabe Alessandrini,Head of Taylors Lakes Campus 13 TAYLORS LAKES CAMPUS REPORT
