Principal`s Report

End of Year Updates

We had two superb presentation days last week. Our leaders did a wonderful job running both days and were very well supported by Ms Sheather and all of the executive staff.

A lot of work does go into the organisation of these events including organising the awards and preparation along with the awards themselves and coordinating the event.

A big thank you to IGA for again donating $1297 to the school which will go towards new furniture for the classes.

We also congratulate our new incoming leaders for 2020 and will have the induction early term 1. They do have big shoes to fill and we believe they will do a an excellent job.

Our Year 6 students had a very enjoyable evening at Kooindah Waters Golf Club for their Farewell. It was the first time we have been to Kooindah waters and the students and staff thoroughly enjoyed the evening and dancing. All of the students had a wonderful evening, and we thank Mrs Freers, Mrs Stevens, Mrs Cowley and Mrs Whitehouse for their organisation and planning.

Thank you also to Mrs Egan for making the Farewell Cake and Cup cakes for the students. We enjoyed the cake and appreciate the time taken to bake and decorate all of the cup cakes.

Students last day is tomorrow and we end the day with the year 6 walkout. This will begin at 2.45 PM in the COLA.

I thank the entire teaching and non-teaching staff on their strong work throughout the year and also for ensuring the children have the best education, opportunities and support available. I also include a huge thank you to the office staff for their work behind the scenes to your students and the staff.

We also thank the school P&C for the wonderful contribution to the school and students. They have supported the school with many fundraising events including Mothers day , Fathers day, Christmas and Easter stalls as well as raising funds for your students (new sports clothing, banners and a 3D printer) as well as supporting school banking and the uniform shop. Their time is invaluable.

To all families, have an enjoyable Christmas and New Year, and we wish everyone a safe and happy 2020, and hope that these bush fires subside soon.

We are very grateful to have once again had the generous support of our local car dealership Brian Hilton Toyota throughout 2019.

Our most dedicated volunteers also received certificates and gift cards this week at our end of year assemblies, as a way of recognising their great commitment to our school and we thank them for their support throughout the year. 

Thank you to the wonderful David MacLellan from Brian Hilton at Wyong for attending our assemblies throughout the year to present these special awards. We are very lucky to have this support from our local community.

Kindergarten News

What a busy year we have had in Kindergarten. We say farewell to 2019 with many happy memories, ready for 2020.

Our Christmas celebrations saw lots of visitors to our school to watch our amazing performance.

All of Kindergarten graduated and we were extremely proud of each and every one of them.

Our new kinders finished up a very hectic transition program with Leap into Learning, ready to start Kindergarten in 2020.

Teachers were working hard, writing reports which you received earlier this week.

I can’t believe our little Kindy kids are leaving us and moving onto Year 1. We wish them all the best of luck, next year.

All the kinder teachers wish to extend our happiest wishes to all families for a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

See you all again in 2020.
