School newsletter Term 4 Week 8 3rd December 2019
Dear Parents and friends, Well how did we get here so quickly?! This will be the final newsletter for the year and as I look back on 2019, I am so proud of all that our school has achieved. The highlights for me have been the close bond that the students have formed with each other, seeing the brilliant learning happening in the classrooms, the successes on the sporting fields and all the wonderful excursions and opportunities the students have had. Our teaching staff are working towards implementing all aspects of the school’s 2018 – 2020 school plan and our school was validated in October with a statement Excelling in a number of the elements of the School Excellence Framework. Well done to all. Teachers for 2020 K- 2 Mrs Skye Dedman and Mrs Bek Coddington 3-6 Mrs Wendy Robb Each Wednesday Mrs Lizz Denovan (Mrs D - Principal & Learning Support release) Mrs Edge will be on maternity leave for term 1&2.

Car Rally Success! – What a fantastic team effort from everyone. It was great to have all the children presenting to the car rally team. Will’s speech entertained the hoards and Oliver read his Frank Poem so well. Special thanks to the parents who sold raffle tickets and to Mrs Coddington for giving up her Friday night to help me out. The final amount raised was $3721. This money has been deposited in the school’s Playground equipment fund. Annual Parent Survey – I have attached a short survey to this week’s newsletter. I would appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete this. The survey responses help our school to plan for the coming year, to reflect on practices and processes and to inform our school plan. Your responses will be anonymous. Please return as soon as possible ~ Thank you. Rain Dance – We are supporting St John’s School in Trangie who have started a media campaign across Australia! On the 13th December at 1pm, we will join Girilambone at the pool to do our rain dance …..a bit of fun that will lift our spirits and hopefully dump some rain on us! Intensive swimming – We will begin our intensive swimming lesson with swimming coach Maddie Griffiths. Our school is funding the coaching this year as we have identified swimming as a learning priority for all students given our location. Our pool visits will be on Thursday 12th, Friday 13th, Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th December. We will leave school at 11am and travel to Nyngan with Vanes’ Bus. Students need to bring their swimmers and rashie top, towel and sunscreen with them each day and bring a packed recess and lunch. Pool entry will be covered by the school. If you have a season ticket, please indicate this on the note. Children will not need extra money for the shop. Scholastic book club – buy a book for a bush fire effected public school. If you would like to order a book from Scholastic Book Club on behalf of your child, we will send it to a school affected by the recent bush fires. Please phone Kerrie and she will ensure we sit your book aside and your child will be able to put a note in the front of the book. We will post the books early next year.
