Fairfield Public School Newsletter Smore #44

On Monday 18 February the 2019 Student Leadership team were inducted into their roles.    Mr Charles Borg, Principal Fairfield High School, presented the badges of office to the students at a formal assembly in front of the school and community. 

I look forward to working closely with the team throughout the year as they represent the school.  I know they will do a fantastic job.

I met with the student leadership team in Week 3 where the student leadership team raised a range of items from bullying, safety in the playground, swearing by students, PBL merits, how students could do a better job in classrooms with a casual teacher just to name a few.  I was very impressed with their understanding and concern for their fellow students.  We also talked about the types of jobs they might be expected to engage in during the year.  

Our school captains and prefects participated in the first session of the leadership program on Wednesday, 13th of February. It is a 6 week program that teaches about presentation skills, responsibility, organisation and teamwork. Onel and Emily are presenting what they found out about each other to the group. 

Thank you to everyone who put in a suggestion to choose a new name for Sydney Fairfield's cousin.  We are proud to introduce our newest bear Beary Fairfield.  Beary is very excited to have his new name and his ready to start exploring his new home at Fairfield Public School.  

If you are interested in having Beary or Sydney visit you at home, you just need to write a letter to Mr Smith.

Our second Family Family Welcome Night was held on Wednesday 20 February.  What a night we had. The rain held off thank goodness and everyone was able to enjoy the night in comfort.
