What a fantastic start to Term 4. It

has been very settled and

students have already dived head

first into learning for this term.

It has been a pleasure stepping

into the role as Principal and I will

return to my role as Deputy

Principal upon Mr Tate’s return on

Thursday.

Massive congratulations must go

to Year 5 for a wonderful Mini Fete

last Friday. All the stalls were

amazing and so organised. The

sponge throwing at the teachers

stall was quite popular, as was the

book stall and slushie stands!

Thanks to Mrs Lynch, Mr Harding,

Mrs Lewis and Ms Aldridge for

your ongoing support for this

event.

Air Conditioning update. This has

been a very long process with lots

of changes along the way. Last

week, we had over 30 contractors

assess both sites and the tender

process will close on Nov 1. It is

an t i c ipa ted that the a i r

conditioning upgrade will be

completed during the Christmas

holidays. We thank all our families

for their understanding in this

matter.

Some of our students are being

dropped off at school at 8.15am.

This is too early. We strongly

encourage our families to use

Peak-Before and After School

Program. Some students are being

dropped off across the street and

to support our fantastic P&C

Shoalhaven River Festival. You

school community proud.

Have fun and safe travels to our

Yr 5 students and teachers as

they head to Sydney next week. I

look forward to hearing about

your visit to our nation’s capital.

Please continue to look at our

facebook page, website and

skoolbag app for information.

Especially as Term 4 is one of

our busiest times of the year.

In closing I would like to thank

Mr Hosler for his support this

P & C News

I would like to welcome students, staff and parents

to Term 4 at Nowra Public School. I hope everyone

had a great break and that we are all ready for a

busy final term ahead.

Over the school holidays the P and C held

OBSTACOOL on the infants site. It was quite well

attended by people from within and outside the

school. I would like to thank everyone that helped

support the event, and in particular to Rebbecca

Jamieson and her family for all of the hours and

hard work that you have put in to getting this event

happening at our school. Some significant funds

were raised from this event, and as always our

school community has been a great support.

The P and C are holding their AGM on Wednesday

October 31, in the library at 7pm. All parents and

carers in the Nowra Public School Community are

welcome and encouraged to attend. Our P and C

plays a significant role within our school, not just

with fund-raising. It is a great opportunity to be a

part of the education process, and to participate in

discussion centred around events in our school. You

don't need to be able to come to every meeting, just

when you can. We value support and input from all

members of our school community and really hope

to see as many members present at our AGM.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a huge

'Thanks and Congratulations' to Mrs Lynch for her

amazing effort with the Year 5 Mini Fete. Some

parents may not be aware, but the Mini Fete

generates funds to pay for the Year 6 Graduation

Dinner. This year, a concerted effort was made by

Mrs Lynch to make the Fete lolly free, with an

additional focus on reduced sugar. This is in support

of the P and C Canteen's efforts to be compliant with

NSW Healthy School Canteens strategy. We are

currently 12 months ahead of the projected timeline

for compliance. Mrs Lynch, along with Mr Tate's

support of this strategy with the mini fete is very

welcome and very much appreciated by the P and C

and the wider school community. It is not always

easy to set the example, but having the support of

our executive staff and teachers is greatly

appreciated.

Finally, as this is the last newsletter before the P & C

AGM, I would like to thank everyone for their support

this year, and look forward to another productive

year of P and C activities.
