On behalf of Rita, my cleaning colleague & myself, I would like to make mention of a recent event that I will never forget. We were presented with cards wishing us “Happy World Teachers Day” by several students which we accepted, a bit bemused! On commenting that we were not teachers but cleaners, their reply was “that does not matter; you are part of the School”. 

For those students to show such recognition on their own goodwill was truly heart stopping. When I reflect on the past 18 months of cleaning “our school" every student, teacher & staff always greet you with a smile & a 'how are you today'. In all I know from the top link to the bottom link of this school’s team chain, it has loyalty, politeness and a very positive respect for Human values. It is always a great pleasure to say I'm part of Sathya Sai School here in Murwillumbah.

I recently had the pleasure of umpiring the two teams from Sathya Sai school at the Netball Gala Day held in Murwillumbah on 19 November. The children were very well behaved in the games I looked after, and displayed a good attitude and liking for sportsmanship and playing as a team. 

This didn’t hold them back though as they all seemed to put an immense effort into their games, which only increased the level of enjoyment for all. A couple of the older boys showed some outstanding catching and passing skills. Your participation in the day is to be commended, and Murwillumbah Netball Association sends their appreciation.

Our local bus drivers have reported to us that the behaviour of the school children on excursions is the best they have seen and they are happy to be available to drive our students at any time.
