It seems that the term only begun a few days ago but we are well and truly back in the swing of things.

We had our District Athletics Carnival last week. Congratulations to all our students who took part on the day. They were extremely well behaved, polite, enthusiastic and gave it their all. I know they did their very best in their respective competitions. We had 3 students be successful in reaching the regional competition. They were Riley, Dekkoda and Emily.The school is very proud of them and we wish them all the best in Canberra.

Education Week was held this week. This was an amazing opportunity for our school to showcase the wonderful learning opportunities that we provide here at Goulburn Public School. We had a range of activities throughout the week, ranging from a BBQ provided by the P and C, opening the classroom doors and letting the students display their exceptional mathematical skills and thinking, to a dress up day where the students came as their future selves and Bob Kirk, our local Councillor who came to share his story of how education help shape his life. All of our students thoroughly enjoyed the week and were very excited to share their experiences. A big thank you to the P and C who provided a great BBQ on the day. I know a lot of hungry tummies that enjoyed it.

The school continues to send out the current guidelines of Covid-19 and the appropriate measures that we need to take. Please read those carefully as they change quite quickly.

Lastly, lets continue the great start to the term where lots of learning takes place. My door is always open.

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. As part of school protocol you will be contacted by a staff member after two days of absence without explanation.

There has been a bit of confusion when paying for certain events/activities/uniforms online.

The school events and activities are separate to the P&C run uniform shop. 

If you are purchasing uniforms – this is to be paid to the P&C account – their details are on their price lists. 

All other payments to the school for excursions/activities/sports etc are to be paid to the school account which the link is found on our school website.

https://goulburn-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/

then go to: MAKE A PAYMENT

There has been lots of mixed payments and it is making it difficult to reconcile accounts.  If you are unsure at all, please call the office on 48212827, and we can confirm for you.

We do not want any student to miss out on any activity due to payment not being received. 

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.
