TOMERONG PUBLIC SCHOOL

Dear parents and carers,

Canberra Excursion

Our Stage 3 students had a wonderful time in Canberra over the past two days and arrived back at school safely last night. Thank you Mr Newton, Mr Munn and Mrs Ford for providing this amazing opportunity to our students!

Shoalhaven Music Festival – Next Tuesday!

Our amazing choir is performing at the Shoalhaven Music Festival next Tuesday, 22 November! Please ensure that all choir notes are returned to school as soon as possible.

The cost is $15 for adults, $10 for concession and $5 for students/children. Choir students do not require a ticket.

Tomerong Public School Choir will be performing at the 5.15pm show. We look forward to seeing you there!

P&C Disco

Our end of year disco is back! After covid restrictions dictated that our end of year disco couldn’t proceed in previous years, we’re super excited that our amazing P&C are able to host this fun-filled event again on Friday 9 December. You will find a note with further information in your child’s bag today.

Bunaan Yarning Circle Opening

Next Thursday, 24 November you are welcome to join us for the official opening of our Bunaan, yarning circle. A smoking ceremony will take place between 9:30 and 10:30am. We look forward to officially opening this significant space in our beautiful school.   

Presentation Day

Don’t forget our presentation day will be held in Vincentia High School’s hall on Friday 2 December at 10.30am. We’re excited to come together to celebrate another amazing year and parents, family members and friends are more than welcome!

A permission note will be sent home shortly for you to sign and return, giving permission for your child to attend via bus. There will be no cost to parents.

Canteen

Today was another fantastic day in the canteen! Thank you Erin for volunteering a few hours to assist our canteen coordinator Carlyie. Please take note of the change in ordering, whereby snacks are to be purchased over the counter rather than including them on your written order on your lunch bag.

Our canteen will be open each Wednesday for the remainder of the term.

Have a great week,

Rod

Years 5 and 6 students returned yesterday afternoon from their successful and very enjoyable overnight trip to Canberra. Mr Munn, Mrs Ford and myself were very impressed to see senior students representing our school with lovely Tomerong manners at a variety of venues including; Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, Mount Ainslie lookout, The National Arboretum, Museum of Australian Democracy and Questacon. A big thank you to parents and carers for supporting this educational excursion.

Ms Baker - Choir Teacher

Students from our school have recently undertaken, an education tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
