Special assembly for prize win

Empire Bay Public School held a special assembly for its Live Outside the Box program earlier this month.

School principal Ms Sharon McEvoy said two special guests from the NSW Department of Health attended the event.

"Our school won the large school category and our school captains were presented with a voucher for $600 to purchase sports equipment and an award to display in the foyer.

"The guests also congratulated students on the healthy lifestyle programs being held at the school including the growing of vegetable gardens, caring for chickens to produce eggs, the growing of seedlings to plant, our Environmental Education Day and our Healthy Canteen strategy."
