Principal’s Message
Cooperation - Respect – Responsibility
Thank You
Every year is a busy time at school and 2018 has been no exception. I would like to thank everyone who encouraged and supported the students in their learning journey. I greatly appreciate the efforts of all the staff and thank them for their care and dedication to all students. I wish all families a Merry Christmas and a safe, relaxing holiday.
Presentation Night
It was wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents, family and community members at our annual Presentation Night. The students love to perform for an audience and always give their best performance on the night. I would like to thank the teachers and staff for the effort they put in to making this night a success. Thank you to Mrs Helen McDermott who has made the school blazers. This year will be the last year Helen makes them and now the school will keep the blazers and school captains will hand them back at the end of the year.

Special Positive Behaviour for Learning Reward
Today students who didn’t have a timeout or level all year had morning tea with me as a thank you for their positive behaviour. 27 students received this special reward which is an increase of 25% from last year. Congratulations to all those students!
Year 6 Farewell
The Year 6 Farewell will be held tonight at 6:30pm at the Goolgowi Ex-Servicemen’s Club. The students have prepared posters and photo stories outlining their journey through primary school. Tonight they will recall fond memories and interesting events during the past 7 years. The whole school community wish them all the best at high school next year!
We bid farewell to the Litchfield and Langridge families who have had a long
association with the school. Connor and Jarrod are the last family members to complete their primary education at Goolgowi and we wish these families all the best for the future. I would especially like to thank Michelle and Ian Langridge for their involvement in the P & C where Ian has taken on executive roles, both have helped in so many fundraising events and working bees and Michelle has assisted with the Garden Club.
Pool Party
This Wednesday all students will be participating in the pool party. It will be a great way to end a busy year of learning. Students may wear casual clothes on Wednesday. The weather forecast is for a hot day so please come prepared.
Students will need to bring:
Swimmers, rashy/swim shirt
Towel
Broad brimmed hat
Sunscreen to be applied by the student
Drink bottle - plenty of water
Students may bring thongs or similar slip on footwear to wear to the pool
Recess and snacks
The SRC decided their Return & Earn treat would be ice creams, a small can of drink and some chips. The P&C has kindly donated lunch for students. We will be having a sausage sizzle. Each student will be given a poppa.
Students will have Crunch and Sip at school and then walk to the pool. We will return to school at approximately 2:00 pm to do a final check and tidy up.
Pool entry has been covered by the school.

K-2 News
It is the end of another amazing and busy year. Thank you to everyone for your support and help during the year. Students learn so much in the early years of school and sometimes we need to just take time to appreciate each individual person. Yesterday as a class we brainstormed words to describe each student. Then I created a wordle which was sent home yesterday. Please read these and enjoy.
I wish everyone a joyful, fun filled and peaceful Christmas and lots of happiness in 2019.
Mrs Robertson
5/6 News

Your excellent behaviour and mature attitude towards learning has made teaching you a very rewarding and enjoyable experience for all of us.

All the best to our Year 6 students as they enter high school. Go, be amazing! I cannot wait to find out all the fantastic achievements you will accomplish in the years to come.
Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday to all.
