Jasper and Jessica, Stage 3 spelling bee champions.

St Eddies Spelling Bee Champions: Congratulations to Stage two students, Hamish and Harper and Stage three students, Jasper and Jessica who are the St Eddies Spelling Bee Champions for 2023. These students will now represent St Edward’s at the Diocesan Spelling Bee Final in Wellington on Thursday, 25th May. 

Mothers’ Day Milestone: Congratulations to The Old Vic Inn for serving up over 20 years of Mother’s Day lunches to the people of Canowindra and their families. They have also been running pasta nights over the last couple of months. With winter looming, and late nights at kids sports, be sure to check out their tasty dishes. 

Update Your Winter Wardrobe With Frock On: With new stock arriving every week, Frock on has a range of winter warmers adorning their racks. Jeggings, jeans and jumpers in sizes 8-20 available in store and online. Don’t forget their range of accessories from shoes, scarves, bags and jewellery. 

NSW Health Update: As the days and nights get colder, keep your family safe by never using BBQs and outdoor heaters inside your home. 

They produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas you can’t see, taste or smell. This gas can kill quickly without warning. Leave outdoor heaters, barbeques, and charcoal outside. If you think you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. In an emergency, dial triple zero (000) for an ambulance. More info at: www.health.nsw.gov.au/COpoisoning
