Thank you to the group of parents with children in Year 4 for organising the Fathers’ Day stall. It was a huge effort and I know fathers are going to enjoy these special gifts. The Dads’ Night Out will be held tomorrow night in Cooinda commencing at 7.00 pm and I know school fathers will enjoy the social occasion. I thank Benita Derbyshire for organising the special prizes for the night and acknowledge the Seiden Family from the Lindfield Mower and Chainsaw Centre, for their generous donation of a Blower.

Next Tuesday a new before school Beginners’ Music Program will commence for Year 3 children. Please book via TryBooking. Last week the school received a letter of appreciation from the Tathra Public School community. It acknowledged the support provided by Beaumont Road families to assist rebuilding after the disastrous bushfires last year. I invite parents at the school with children entering Kindergarten in 2020 to complete an enrolment form. Please contact the school office. Finally, I invite all families to participate in the school’s Catapult Competition. Please note the details in this Bulletin. Malcolm McDonald Principal

It’s worth it! Waste-Free Wednesday Continued thanks to parents, children and staff for supporting this initiative. Waste-free Wednesday Tip #3 Check out Lunchbox Legends, presented by our very own wonderful chef extraordinaire and BRPS parent, Rachel Potter - true legend! Details below. We have a few events coming up that you may want to add to your calendar… Lunchbox Legends Need some inspiration for Waste-Free Wednesday? Head along to the school hall on Tuesday, 17th September at 7pm to learn some chef ’s tips and tricks to streamline your school lunchboxes.
