Providing the foundations for life-long learning

Principal’s Message

Education Week

We will celebrate Education Week on Thursday, 8 August. Our school community is invited to a breakfast barbecue

in our school quad commencing at 7:30 am. Students in both junior and senior choirs will perform in the quad at

9:00 am. Following the performance, you are invited to visit your child’s classroom between 9:00 am and 10:00 am.

NAIDOC Celebrations

Members of the Aboriginal Committee have worked closely with Aboriginal students to organise the NAIDOC

celebrations. The morning commenced with an assembly that was led by a number of our Aboriginal students. The

students spoke proudly and shared their culture. The assembly was followed by various activities including dancing,

making fish nets and eating Johnnycakes. Congratulations to all staff who were involved in organising an

outstanding day of celebrations.

Due to the weather, the Stage 2 and 3 excursion to the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk has been postponed to

Monday, 19 August.

From the Deputy’s Desk…

Are you following Thurgoona Public School’s Facebook Page?

Our school Facebook page is a great way for families to stay in touch with what is happening at

our school. It is also a great opportunity to showcase some of the wonderful things our students

are involved in. We rely on photos from parents, carers and teachers to capture many of the

great things happening around the school and at extra-curricula or after school events. A

reminder that if you have any photos (or accompanying news/commentary), please email it to the

school so that we can post it on Facebook.

Playground Guidelines

With a growing student population and changes being made to some parts of our playground, staff have been

reviewing our playground guidelines including playground rules, staff supervision and safety procedures. The

Student Representative Council have also met with their peers and asked for feedback and ideas about ways to

ensure our playground is a fun, engaging and safe space to play. Once consultation is complete, we will have a

series of guidelines that will ensure safety and enjoyment continue to be at the core of play times.

Quote of the week: “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you don’t stop.”

- Confucius

Deputy Principal

Morning Arrival Time at School Please note that arrival time for school is from 8:30 am

onwards. Students should not be at school before this

time as there are no staff on duty to supervise them.

Early arrival of unsupervised students creates an unsafe

environment for those students.

Students are not to be at school before 8:30 am.
