Year 6 Farewell The Year 6 Farewell will be held in the school hall next Thursday, 13th December from 5.30- 7pm.

We wish all of the Year 6 students the best in the next chapter of their education at High School.

Presentation Night Inverell Public School Presentation Night will be held in the school hall at 6.15pm next Tuesday, 11th December. Students who are receiving an award are asked to wear full summer school uniform including black school shoes. Students’ hair must be tidy and clean, and girls are asked to tie long hair back neatly with red or white hair accessories. Parents, carers and family members are invited to attend. Congratulations to all students who are receiving an award for 2018. It is anticipated that the evening will conclude at approximately 8pm.

Swim School Continues Don’t forget to bring a towel, a plastic bag for wet gear, hat, water bottle and a water resistant sunscreen. Parents are asked to pack extra food for their children over the next 2 weeks as the extra exercise (swimming) makes growing students extra hungry!

Windy Weather Taking advantage of some very windy days with plastic bag kite creations!
