Students from years 5-6 visited the Albury
 Library Museum to participate in the Courage to
 Care program.

 This program has been initiated by B’nai B’rith,
 the world’s oldest community service
 organisation, to convey messages of social
 tolerance and to encourage people to live in
 harmony.

 Its content is considered to be very relevant to
 students as they encounter media images of
 intolerance and prejudice or when they
 experience racism or bullying at school.

                                                                   Students enjoyed their visit to the
                                                              Courage to Care exhibition and understanding
                                                                  the powerful message that it brings.

Courage to Care is a unique travelling exhibition and
educational program that uses stories of Holocaust
survivors and their rescuers to demonstrate the
importance of standing up to prejudice whenever it
occurs.

It provokes conversations about social justice and
bystander intervention in our communities. Courage to
Care is a positive and empowering experience,
inspiring visitors to realise that their individual choices
can, and do, made a difference.

                                                                                                             3

                                                     Zone Athletics
                                                     On Friday 4 June, a team of 42 students went with
                                                     Miss Heinjus and Mrs Davidson to Alexandra Park
                                                     for the Zone Athletics Carnival.

                                                    It was a cold and busy day, with many students in
                                                    multiple events. Our
                                                    students performed
                                                    incredibly well, achieving
                     some personal bests in the running, jumping and
                     throwing events. Our relay teams were impressive, with
                     our senior girls’ team taking out the win; unfortunately
                     they were later disqualified.

                     We had a number of finalists in the running events and
                     Ollie, Didier and Tuli all took second place overall in their
                     respective events and will be invited to the Riverina
                     Athletics Carnival next term. Congratulations everyone            Didier, Tuli and Ollie will
                     on your sportsmanship, effort and enthusiasm.                     attend the Riverina level
                                                                                               next term.
