Tighes Hill Public School Newsletter No. 20
Principal’s Report
This is our last newsletter for this term and I really find it difficult to believe how quickly this year has flown. It has been an ex-tremely full and rewarding year with many exciting achievements for all our students, staff, community and our school. Our Annual School Report, which will be posted on our website early in the new school year, will outline all of these achievements.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank every member of our school community for their support, assistance and engagement through this year. Your engagement however small has been ex-tremely valuable and always welcomed. Our children achieve well, when all members of their school environment, staff, par-ents, carers and friends work together. Thank you for helping all our children achieve so well, let’s keep this partnership growing in 2016. I also want to wish all of our Year 6 students and their families, and all families and students leaving great success in their new schools and communities. We will miss you!

Major Presentation Assembly
Our Presentation Assembly held yesterday was a brilliant oppor-tunity to showcase our wonderful children, their achievements, their talents and their amazing manners. They fulfilled all criteria beautifully! Thank you to all the parents who did attend this spe-cial event. All the children who received awards did so because they were able to demonstrate consistency in achieving their per-sonal best throughout the year. Congratulations to all children who received awards and the very talented performers. Congrat-ulations also to the captains of 2015 for their exceptional leader-ship. Thank you to the Grainery Christian Network for the use of their facility and continued support with in-class programs. I also want to thank our many sponsors and P&C who help us fund the many prizes and awards given.

Principal’s Report
Carols
It was fantastic to see so many families and friends attend and participate in the celebrations. I’m sure that you were very im-pressed by all the talented children we have at Tighes Hill PS. Thank you to Mrs Hibbert for your organisation and also to our wonderful staff. It was delightful to see so many families enjoying the Carols on their picnic rugs - thank you to our superb Santa and the Carrington Bush Fire Brigade for taking the time to visit our school.
Year 6 Farewell
We are planning a special night for the Year 6 children tomorrow evening at the Islington Baptist church. A great deal of time and money goes into making sure that this evening is a special high-light for Year 6. Thank you to our P&C for funding the cost of the food.
Year 5 and Year 6 children need to be at the venue by 5.45 pm wearing appropriate clothes. Collared shirts for the boys and low heels for the girls. All parents are invited to attend at 7.30pm for the formal part of the evening. Year 6 will be able to wear mufti clothes for the final 4 days of term when they donate their uni-form to our clothing pool.
School Canteen
Our fantastic band of canteen volunteers have provided a won-derful service to our children this year and I know that you recog-nise the extraordinary effort they have gone to, to provide such healthy food choices for our children. As a school community I would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to all canteen volunteers. Please note the canteen will not be opened next week as it will be cleaned and made ready for the long holiday break.
Reports
Our yearly reports will be handed out Tuesday the 15th of De-cember. All teachers have worked extremely hard to ensure that all data entered is a true representation of your child’s learning growth. I am sure that you will be very pleased with the compre-hensive assessment information and the clear picture of your child’s progress and achievements that these reports contain. Please let us know if multiple copies need to be sent home. Don’t hesitate to contact teachers if you need any point clarified.
Year 6 Uniforms/Mufti
Year 6 children will be able to wear mufti for the remainder of the year WHEN they donate their uniform to the clothing pool after Wednesday 9th of December. All uniforms can be handed in at the office.
Autographs
I am more than happy for all Year 6 children to collect their friend’s autographs before the end of the year, the only proviso, autographs cannot be collected on any uniform that is being cur-rently worn. Autograph bears, books and uniforms brought to school in a plastic bag are all better options. This can be done in the final week of school.
