Principal’s Message

Welcome to an exciting new term that already has a full

calendar of big events and happenings.

Great Husky Fair

Firstly the Great Husky Fair is fast approaching. Saturday 2

November is the big day. Tickets in our big raffle are available

at the school office. You can purchase one ticket or take a

book. The more tickets, the better chances, you have of

winning one of the great prizes. At $5 a ticket it’s a bargain!

Staffing Update

Miss Malby who is now Mrs McMillan shared some good news

with Mrs Hanson the other day. Mrs McMillan was very

excited to tell Mrs Hanson she is expecting a baby in March

next year. Congratulations Mrs McMillan from everyone at

Huskisson Public School.

Mrs Watson on her last day of camping during the holidays

rolled her ankle. Mrs Watson needs this week to rest and

elevate her foot. At this stage Mrs Watson is hoping to be back

next week. She will probably be in a boot to support her

recovery.

Mr Frost is still in the UK. He will resume duties Monday of

Week 3.

Finally Ms Lewis is back in Australia after trekking through

Nepal. Ms Lewis returns to work next Tuesday after attending

the wedding of her best friend in Kingscliff.

Albatross Musical

Congratulations to Evie G, Keshna B and Olivia T who

performed in the Junior Albatross Musical production of

Disney Aladdin Jr at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre

during the holidays. Staff who attended were very impressed

as well as entertained by the production.

Dance2BeFit Performance

Congratulations to all classes on their great Dance2Befit

performances on Wednesday of the last week of Term 3. What

a valuable program that positively engages our students in

dance, music and performance, as well as providing the

opportunity to showcase their skills and personalities. Next

year we will book the program for Term 3 again.

Gymnastics

Our annual gymnastics program starts Monday of Week 3. The

program has proven to be popular and very beneficial. All

classes are attending. The program is funded by Sporting

Schools Australia funded by the Commonwealth Government.

Therefore most of the cost is subsidised. Payment is due by

next Friday.

Men’s Shed

The local Men’s Shed delivered the first of three projects they

have completed for the school. Seating around the tree near

the Stage 2 classrooms was installed today. Our students are

already enjoying the clever work of the Men’s Shed. Thanks

guys!

Soccer Clinic Today, each class from K-6, were outside in the sunshine

to practise soccer skills with Mark. There were lots of

great games and activities that targeted fitness and spe-

cific skills and strategies. These mini clinics will run over

the next 3 weeks. Thanks Mark!

Upgrades at Plantation Point Reserve Shoalhaven City Council has received funding under the NSW

Government's Stronger Country Communities Fund for up-

grades to the playground, amenities and beach access at

Plantation Point Reserve, Vincentia.

The upgrades include:

a new playground that is inclusive to all ages and abilities

a new amenities building with provisions for persons with a disability

a mural on the external surface of the amenities

accessible beach access from the reserve to Barfleur Beach.

The current funding will allow for the staged development of

new play equipment. With community support and encour-

agement, if the council were to input additional funding, a

more suitable playground that meets the needs of the grow-

ing community would be a possibility, like the one featured

below.

Have your say now—follow the link to complete the

community input survey
