Providing the foundations for life-long learning

Principal’s Message

Presentation Day

Last year it became evident that due to the growing number of students at Thurgoona Public School it would be necessary to

make changes to the format of Presentation Day. Unfortunately after investigating the size of available venues it became

apparent that there was not a venue large enough to hold students and families. This year there will be a separate Infants

Presentation and a Primary Presentation. They will be held on the same day although at different times, to enable parents

and family to attend both events.

Infants Presentation Day – Friday 8 December 9:30 am held at Thurgoona Public School

Primary Presentation Day – Friday 8 December 12:00 pm held at the Albury Entertainment Centre

Thank you for understanding our decision and supporting this necessary change. I am hopeful that once the new hall is built

at James Fallon High School it will be a suitable venue for our future presentation ceremonies.

Remembrance Day

This Friday at 10.45 the whole school shall be assembling on the front lawn of the school to acknowledge Remembrance

Day. Parents, carers and community members are welcome to attend.

Jack’s Walk for Diabetes

Next Tuesday 14 November the school shall be participating in the JDRF One Walk for a world without type 1 diabetes. We

hope to help Jack Skahill raise awareness and $500 for this worthy cause. Jack shall speak to students about his diabetes

journey before the event.

Please see page 4 for more details.

Kira Howell had her hair cut last week to support Canteen


Kira Howell—Thankyou

On Friday 3 November, in front of the entire

school, I cut 48cm off my hair. The hair was

sent to Pantene (Beautiful Lengths) – which

they will then use to make wigs for cancer

patients.

During the weeks leading up to the big hair

cut, I sold Canteen bandanas at Thurgoona

Public School. Students and staff bought 360

bandanas, which raised a massive $1800 for

Canteen!

I also collected sponsorship which is going to

be donated to the Albury Wodonga Cancer

Centre. At last count, I had received $580.55!

I would like to thank everybody who helped

out or donated during the past few weeks –

special thanks to Jo Hallows, who cut my hair

on the day. I would especially like to thank

my amazing family for all their love and

support.
