This will be our last newsletter for the 2018 school year and I wish to sincerely thank and gratefully acknowledge the tremendous support we have received from parents and caregivers throughout the year. This support is greatly appreciated and ensures that we work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for our students, your children. I would particularly like to acknowledge Ms Di Sharp who moves into the retirement phase of life and thank her for her many years of teaching at Pottsville Beach PS. To all members of our school community who may be leaving us this year, thank you for the contributions you have made to the school during your time with us and our best wishes for your futures. On behalf of our school and staff, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a super 2019.
