Core Value This week our core value is Responsibility. “I can be trusted and helpful”.

To all Students, Parents and Carers,

We would like to take the opportunity

to wish you all a safe and happy Christmas

break and best wishes for a wonderful New

Year.

From all the staff

Message from the Principal…

Hard to believe, but here we are at the end of Term 4 2017. Last week we held our annual

Presentation Day. Congratulations to all our award winners on their achievements. As I said in my

address on Wednesday, every student at Nabiac PS should be feeling proud of themselves for what

they have achieved during 2017. As teachers, we are proud of all of our students and I am sure as

parents you are proud of your children too.

The Year 6 farewell and picnic day are the final events for the children this year and I am sure they

will be lots of fun for all involved.

I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome I received at Nabiac PS in this my first year. I

have thoroughly enjoyed my year and I am looking forward to a very exciting 2018.

Finally on behalf of the staff I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and

prosperous 2018. I know over the holiday period, as a community, you will keep an eye on our school

so that it is safe and ready for a big start to 2018.

Picnic Day/Last day for notes tomorrow Tuesday 12th December

This year we will be holding our school picnic day at the Nabiac Pool on Friday 15th December. Children

should come to school with their swimmers and sunscreen on. At the pool, the children will be

participating in a range of fun activities in small groups, supervised by a teacher. They will need a hat and

water bottle. The P and C will be organising a free sausage sizzle, drink and ice block for lunch for the

children back at school under Brendan’s Shelter. All children need to supply their own recess and a drink.

We will need volunteers for Friday, to help with the BBQ. If you are able to help please leave your name at

the office.
