Open Days are a chance for families – both parents and students, to come in and see Scone Grammar School in action. Please spread the word to any families who may be interested. For our next Open Day – Monday 26 April, we will be organising school tours by appointment, allowing us to focus on the areas of the school that are most relevant to new families.
|
Please encourage new families to contact our School Registrar Mrs Amanda Darling by email - registrar@sgs.nsw.edu.au or on (02) 6545 3131 to make an appointment between 9-11am.

ANZAC Day
On Sunday 25 April, the first weekend back in Term 2, the school will once again commemorate ANZAC Day by asking student and staff representatives to attend the various ceremonies in the Merriwa, Willow Tree, Gundy, Scone, Aberdeen, Murrurundi, Quirindi, Denman, Muswellbrook and Singleton districts. If your child/ren are willing to participate and represent SGS please complete the ANZAC Day service form on SkoolBag to help us to co-ordinate staff and students.
We’d also like to gather photos of the day, so if your child is participating and you’re able to photograph them with or without other students, please email the photograph to Louisa Bragg - lbragg@sgs.nsw.edu.au.

Canteen orders & Help needed
Please submit your Canteen lunch orders via SkoolBag either the night before or by 9am the following morning. Orders will be cut off at 9am on the day of the lunch order to provide enough time to preparation.
Brooke Terry, mum to Kindergarten student, Lily, has been helping in our canteen and commented that finding ways to be involved in the school is the best way to get to know our school. The kids love it too! We’re still looking for SGS family to help next term. Please contact our Canteen Co-ordinators, Jen Crackett or Fi Bailey - canteen@sgs.nsw.edu.au, if you are able to help out.

Apple Picking
Our Year 6 students spent some time at Tilse’s Apple Orchard last week. The visit was primarily focused on serving someone within the community – an important aspect of our Scone Grammar School Christian foundation.
It's also something that could be a fun family outing over the holidays. The Orchard Lodge is open to pick your own over the next couple of weekends - Saturday & Sunday 10am-2pm. Visit The Orchard Lodge Facebook page for more info.
