Term 4 12 December 2019 Week 9

At the time of writing this column, our school is

preparing to listen to the speeches prepared by the Year

5 students who would like to be considered as captains

for 2020. I have had the opportunity to hear the

speeches during a practice on Tuesday and would like

to congratulate each and every one of them for the

quality of their speeches.

Last week 54 students attended the Goulburn

celebrations for the International Day of People with a

Disability. It is a day about inclusion. Our school

representatives included our Student Council members

and School Leaders. The students’ exemplary behaviour

matched their enthusiasm and outstanding level of

involvement in every activity. Thank you to the students

who attended for being such wonderful ambassadors

for our school in the Goulburn community.

Thank you to students, families and staff for supporting

our gift collection for students at Grenfell Public School.

With the drought and fires, we know that it will continue

to be a challenging time ahead for many. Thank you to

Garry and Christiane for this caring idea to show our

support for others, and to Garry particularly who had his

Santa hat ready in the truck when he delivered the gifts

yesterday!

This will be the last newsletter for 2019 and I would like

to wish our students and families a wonderful Christmas.

I wish our Year 6 students all the very best for their

move to high school in 2020 – I know Mrs Robinson is

going to miss you! I look forward to welcoming our

newest students as Kindergarten 2020 join us in the new

year. To our families, I thank you for your partnership

with us as we work towards providing your children with

an enriching and supportive start to becoming the

amazing young people of the future.

International Day of People with a Disability Celebration

Flag Raising Ceremony

On Monday 9 December, Goulburn East Public School held a special Flag Raising Ceremony to celebrate our

new flag poles. In addition to the Australian flag we can now proudly fly both the Aboriginal Flag and the Torres

Strait Islander Flag. Special guests included Alfie Walker who gave an Acknowledgement of Country in his

language and Mark Walker who played the didgeridoo while the flags were being raised. Members of both Pejar

Aboriginal Land Council, the AECG and Queanbeyan District Education Office were also in attendance. Special

thanks to Chelsea for leading the assembly, Summer and Sierra for explaining the significance of the flags and

Darcy and Brodie for raising the flags.

Country Women’s Association Scholarship.

Yesterday Mrs Cribb and I had the pleasure of witnessing Zara George being acknowledged for her

commitment and love of learning. At an afternoon tea Zara was surprised by the CWA representative who said

this award is highly sought and the last time a recipient from East received this award was in 2013. To receive

this award a student needs to show dedication and a willingness to push themselves to achieve success. The

recipient must also demonstrate they are a kind and generous person. Zara has demonstrated these skills all

year. Congratulations on being recognised for your efforts. Mrs Robinson
