Our choir students in Years 2 - 6 have begun practicing for the Annual Goulburn Community of Public Schools concert that takes place at the Goulburn Workers Club in Term three. Students have been rehearsing at school and will be participating in group rehearsals with the other primary schools. Students will travel by bus  to Goulburn West on Wednesday in the first of the massed choir rehearsals.

KM have been very busy settling into 'Kindergarten Life'. We have started reading with our buddy class: 5/6 B and have been working hard on our letter formation. Home reading has also started, please remember to read with your child.  Students also participated in Clean Up Australia Day and helped make our school look beautiful.

5/6O have settled in well to their new class and routines. Everyone is doing a fantastic job and it paid off last week when they won class of the week. Students have been busy the last month working on their research project. This week they are presenting their projects to the class. So far we have learnt all about China, New Zealand, Maldives, Portugal, Egypt, Ireland and Afghanistan.  

           

Lego creating with friends….

Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are enjoying the wonderful collection of Lego Kits that are available as part of the Lego Club. Students are working together to create buildings, various forms of transport…or just something from their imagination. It has been interesting watching the creations develop each session.

The P & C held their first meeting of the year on Tuesday 25th February. This was the last meeting prior to the AGM which will be held on Tuesday 31st March at 2pm. We would love to welcome any new parents who would like to be involved with the school P & C, come along to the meeting and meet the team.

We would also like to remind families if they have donations of chocolate Easter eggs or Easter Craft for the raffle to be held at the end of term, these donations can be dropped off at the office.

Goulburn South P&C are providing parents/carers with the opportunity to purchase a school jacket for their children.

These jackets are not a compulsory uniform item but would be beneficial to wear as an additional layer over the polar fleece jumper during the colder months.  They can also be worn on their own as a lighter layer during warmer weather when needed.

The jackets are royal blue with a gold arm stripe, feature the Goulburn South Public-School logo and are priced at $35 each. 

Orders will be placed in the last week of Term 1 of 2020, to arrive in time for the colder weather. Samples of the jackets in several sizes (4, 8, 12) are available for viewing and trying for size at the school office between 9am – 9.20am and 3.20pm – 3.30pm ONLY.  Students must be accompanied by a parent when trying sizes.
