Students have been working really hard to put on the show. The character of Frog is played by school captain, Tom Sheridan, while the vice captain, Jordan Frew, plays the part of Toad. Everyone from the school has a role in the show.

The production will be in the Memorial Hall on Wednesday, September 26 at 7pm. Thanks to the hall committee and the Taralga Wind Farm, the hall is now delightfully heated. The P&C will organise supper to follow the performance. All are welcome - $10 will buy a program and your family’s entrance to the show. Tickets will be available at the door. If you have any queries phone 4840 204047.

P&C Trivia Night: The school had such positive feedback and so many requests to hold the Trivia Night again that the P&C have decided to run it again in 2018. Look out for details to be confirmed very soon. However you would be wise to keep Saturday, November 24 free. In the meantime brush up on your trivia skills (to beat the reigning champions – the teacher’s table) and start co-opting your team.    

Thanks were given to the management and staff of the Taralga Hotel for their ongoing support of the P&C through their Thursday night raffles. This has helped support a variety of activities for the students.

Thirteen children enjoyed a rally day last Sunday at the showground, where they practiced flat work including bareback riding, sporting events and whip cracking.

The next rally will be held on Sunday, October 14. The children will be preparing for the local annual gymkhana which will be on October 21. Rallies begin at 9.30am and new members are always welcome.

Last Friday night, the Taralga Tigers held their presentation night at the Sports Club. They celebrated a very successful season after finishing as premiers, minor premiers and Upper Lachlan Shire Cup Champions. They finished the regular season with 17 wins from 18 games along with the best attack and defence record in the competition, scoring 678 points including 94 tries – a new club record. They only had 242 points scored against them, taking out the minor premiership for the fifth season in the club’s history.

The Tigers went on to earn a home grand final while retaining the Upper Lachlan Shire Cup by defeating the Crookwell Dogs in the major semi final.

They then defeated the Bungendore Mudchooks in the grand final to bring home the club’s fourth premiership.

Blindside flanker, Steve Anable, capped a big season being awarded the best and fairest, player’s player, and best forward. Joel Croker was named the best back and player of the final series. Outside centre, Nickolas Bennett, received the top point scorer and top try scorer award. Fullback, James Marmont was named the top potential player. Loose head prop Jace Cosgrove received the coach’s award while George Cummins was awarded the best off field performance. Tom Andreatta, Joe Cosgrove, Tom Croker, Sam Hand and Chris Roberts received match milestone awards for playing 50 matches for the club. Sam Hand was named as club person of the year while Glenn and Louise Elliott and Leisa and Ken Croker received the service to Taralga Rugby award.

After 19 seasons as player, coach, committee member and club stalwart, Evan Rees was inducted a life member.  

It is gratifying to learn that Jem Green has been appointed school captain of Mulwaree High School, while Annabel Croker has been named vice captain. Congratulations also to Renee Buggie who has been named captain of Crookwell High School.
