The staff at Nabiac Public School would like to wish all our families a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Message from the Principal…

Dear Parents & Carers,

Hard to believe, but here we are at the end of the 2018 school year. Last

week we held our annual Presentation Day. Congratulations to all our award

winners on their achievements. As I said in my address on Wednesday,

every student at Nabiac PS should be feeling proud of themselves for

what they have achieved during the year. As teachers, we are proud of all

of our students and I am sure as parents you are proud of your children too.

The Year 6 farewell and picnic day are the final events for the children this year and I am sure they

will be lots of fun for all involved.

Finally on behalf of the staff I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and

prosperous 2019. I know over the holiday period, as a community, you will keep an eye on our school,

especially as works are completed, so that it is safe and ready for a big start to 2019.

Narelle Kessey

Picnic Day This year we will be holding our School Picnic Day at the Nabiac Pool on Wednesday 19th December.

Permission notes were sent home last week. Children should come to school with their swimmers and

sunscreen on. This day is out of uniform. At the pool, the children will be participating in a range of fun

activities in small groups, supervised by a teacher. They will need a hat and water bottle. The P and C will

be organising a free sausage sizzle, drink and ice block for lunch for the children back at school under

Brendan’s Shelter. All children need to supply their own recess and a drink. Please return your permission

note this week. There is no charge for this day.
