School Leaders 2018

On Thursday our student nominees presented their speeches to the school. The standard of speeches was very high with all students speaking confidently in front of a large audience. Each nominee has been provided with a sealed envelope that they can take home this afternoon and open with their family. The envelope contains a letter that will inform if they have been successfully elected to a leadership position. The elected students will then be presented to the school at

Monday morning’s assembly.

Over the coming weeks the House Captains and Vice

Captains will be elected.

School Building Works Update

The Project Reference Group is hopeful that the building works scope will be going out to tender next week. The tender is open for four weeks, which will hopefully mean that the builders will be selected before

we return to school next year.

Over the last couple of weeks classrooms have been trailing some of the types of furniture that we may have in the new rooms. Popular items include the desks that

have a whiteboard surface and the beanbags.

School Fundraising

I am aware that there is currently a mango order being offered in our community. Please be aware that this initiative has not been endorsed by either the P&C or

the school.

Pacific School Games in Adelaide

From Friday 1st December to Saturday 9th December I will be in Adelaide for the Pacific School Games as part of the management of the New South Wales team. Mr

Leleu will be Relieving Principal during this time.

Years K-6 News

When it is your child’s birthday, they have the opportunity to

donate a book of their choice (already purchased by the

library) for the small cost of $6.00. After paying, the children

can come to the library and select a birthday book.

The books will be presented to the children on assembly. Each

book will have a special message inside saying who has

donated the book. The birthday child will be the first to borrow

the book.

The volume of assistance required is higher at this time of year therefore we invite the Bolwarra Public School community to assist by collecting non perishable goods including food, drinks, toiletries, cleaning products or pet supplies. These items can be dropped into the office ready for collection and delivery to the Samaritans office in East Maitland to distribute to our local families finding it a little tough this year.
