Wearing our School Uniform with Pride

I am totally ‘unbiased’ but honestly believe that we have one of the best school uniforms in the country. This term the staff really encouraged students to come to school in full school uniform. As a little incentive the class is who achieved a high percentage of compliance were included a draw to win a pizza lunch. Every class in the school made it in to the draw! We are looking terrific when we are all gathered.

On this occasion the winning class was 1/2 Belmore. Congratulations Ms Hall's class. 

Bon appetite!

Principal

Parents of children from Kindergarten to Year 12 must ensure their children attend school every day. On occasion, your child may need to be absent from school. 

Parents must provide an explanation for absences to the school within 7 days from the first day of any period of absence. Where an explanation has not been received within the 7-day timeframe, the school will record the absence as unjustified on the student's record.

This Term Goulburn Public School is focusing on the PBL (Positive Behaviour for Learning) 4 core values; Safe, Respectful, Responsible, Learner.

Each fortnight the teachers focus on 1 of the core values and discuss with their students what it looks like in all school settings, focusing on the expectations that comes under each core value heading. 

The Premiers Reading Challenge started on Monday 28 February. The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. Happy reading everyone!

Uniform orders can be made by contacting the P&C directly through their Facebook page at Goulburn Public School P&C Association. Alternatively, students can take a completed form together with cash (or the receipt number from direct transfer payment) to the office and the order will be sent home with students.

Please keep tags and the original packaging on all items that may need to be exchanged for a different size.

For all fitting enquiries or general uniform information contact the P&C on 0401 723 488.
