Principal’s message

Changing Newsletters We are committed to providing our families with the most current and up to date information about what is happening in our schools. As such, we have an active facebook page, school website and weekly newsletter.

Given changing trends in communication globally, our school has decided to modify how regularly we send out formal paper copies of the newsletter.

From this week, we will publish a newsletter in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th weeks of each Term. Our facebook page and website will continue to host current and up to date information between editions of the newsletter.

Congratulations to all of our Year 3 and Year 5 students who participated in NAPLAN this year. Due to our heavy focus on embedding technology in education, we were one of a small number of schools selected to do NAPLAN online. It was a resounding success and from student exit comments, it was definitely their preferred method for testing as well.

Questacon The Shell Questacon Science Circus will be at Kempsey South Public School on Monday 4th May with all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 invited to attend. The cost for students to attend is $5.00 per student. Please return the Questacon permission note and money to the classroom teacher as soon as possible.
