Bella Armstrong and Kate Lieschke were also the recipients of a well-deserved speech award. The ceremony took place in Sydney last week.

St Paul’s student Tom Janetzki participated in the Riverina Schools Orienteering Day held in Wagga recently. He was the only participant in his age-class, but his time compared favourably with those who did the same course in other age classes. He had the sixth fastest time of the 14 participants on that course, and faster than most secondary school students.

Kevin Fogarty, the volunteer consumer advocate for the Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre in Henty, handed over a further $1000 to the trust fund recently. The money came largely from Edna Wilson’s Mother’s Day raffle, with the balance made up of money from 5c coin collections in local stores and donations from the public. The Henty community has contributed many thousands of dollars to this cause.
