Welcome to 2015 A warm welcome back  to all  students,  staff and  the broader Bowraville Central School community. Just as we  had much  to  celebrate  at  the  end  of  2014, we have a great deal to look forward to in 2015.  It was a great privilege  for  the school  to commence the  year  by  hos ng  the  Nambucca  Valley  Australia Day Awards Ceremony on Sunday 25th  January. This was  a  fabulous  occasion,  with  approximately  300 awardees and guests filling our gymnasium to rightly honour excellence across the Nambucca Valley. Many thanks  to  several  staff  for  assis ng  with  this, including  Alyson  Grace,  Veronica  Vou er  and  their catering team, and Owen and Helen Rushton.   Despite  a  fair  amount of wet weather  recently, our cleaning and maintenance staff have once again put in a great effort  to ensure  that we all  returned  to a beau ful school environment. Many thanks to Garry Deitrich,  Judith Barber, and  Jim Barry  for your great work.  Another  important  event  that  helps  us  to tradi onally  get  the  year  off  to  a  great  start  as  a whole  community  is  the  annual  swimming  carnival. The  morning  rain  could  not  dampen  the  fabulous Bowra spirit that was on show all day at yesterday’s great event. Congratula ons  to all students  for your very  posi ve  par cipa on;  many  thanks  to  family members who were able to join us, and thank you to all staff for the fine organisa on once again.   I  look  forward  to once again  this year working with everyone  within  the  Bowraville  Central  School  to make  our  wonderful  school  an  even  finer  place  of learning, crea vity and growth.  Have a great week.  Malcolm McFarlane
