‘Try Always’ Principal’s Message Dear Parents and Caregivers

This week I have been setting targets for 2020 in Literacy & Numeracy and revising what that means for Wongarbon Public School. The Premiere has set clear targets for all schools across NSW and the aim is to provide all children with one of the finest education systems in the world. Kinder Transition Thank you to all parents for attending the Kinder Orientation Parent Information Session. I hope all students and parents are keen for school next year and feel a little less anxious. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please tell anyone you may know living in our area and have school age children for 2020 that enrolments are still open. Orientation Day Orientation Day for Year 6 going to Year 7 will be held on Tuesday 3rd December. All students are keen and excited. They will be visiting South Campus and involved in a variety of activities with a BBQ lunch.

Inclement Weather he health of our staff and students are very important and with the recent weather, mixed with the drought taking its toll, please be mindful that we may have to make decisions to cancel outdoor activities if advised to do so. 2020 School Leaders The nominations process for School Leaders will be completed this week. Children will vote and the top two candidates will be Captain and the next two will be Vice Captain These four nominations will be the leaders of the school in 2020 regardless of gender.

Last Day of School Celebration The students will engage in a fun activity on the last day of school and I would like to thank the P&C for fully funding every student to be able to participate in this celebration. The P&C work tirelessly to ensure that the students of Wongarbon Public School have the added extras and they contribute to school life substantially. Please feel free to join the P&C in 2020 as all the money raised goes to support your children.

to meet these little people!

We were just bubbling with excitement
