May began with the school purchasing a fleet of pushbikes for the children to enjoy as a part of a new fitness, skills and bike awareness program. Four specialized tracks are contained in close to 1ha within the school grounds; an `observe the signs', a time trials, an agility/slalom course and a unique BMX track.
The Giant pushbikes were purchased through Cowra Power Equipment and Motorcycles (Lindsay Caine) with addition bikes supplied by Don Percival of Canowindra.
Within a short space of time the children's fitness, concentration and school social engagement levels has been further strengthened.
What do lions have to do with daily life in a primary school; nothing normally, but for the students, staff and some very lucky parents of Gooloogong visiting Sydney to see the stage production of 'The Lion King' meant lions, hyenas, warthogs, elephants, giraffes and African life were high on our agenda.
The whole school enjoyed what would arguable be the most vibrant, awe inspiring life stage play production catering for all ages ever to visit Australia.
The children were amazed, dazzled, surprised, awe-struck and, at times, speechless at a truly life-changing spectacular.
Goologong can be fondly known for its wonderful and historic wooden bridge but, for those who do not regularly cross the bridge, this will be replaced with a new concrete bridge, Holman Bridge, due to be opened in December this year.
We were fortunate enough to have a grand tour by the bridge's Chief Engineer to gain an all levels view on where the bridge is up to, what it comprises of and where it will be by when.
As if all the above wasn't enough we also entered in the choir section of the Cowra Eisteddfod for small schools and received a Highly Commended certificate. The whole school sang two beautiful songs conducted by Mrs Libby Murray. The children had a fantastic time and enjoyed their 6 minutes of fame.
