Fire Brigade Santa Run

As this will be our last newsletter for the year, I

would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year. Thanks again to everyone for their

support and enthusiasm during 2013. Last night our

presentation evening was a wonderful success. Well

done to all those who were involved and who

received awards on the night. Congratulations to our

school leaders Cooper, Jordan, Milla and Georgia for

2014. We hope you enjoy the experience and

responsibility of being a school leader.

2014 Classes: I was hoping to finalise classes for

2014 before the holidays, however we have needed

to prepare a plan B. Our numbers have swelled to

the point where we may be able to form a tenth

class. Our anticipated enrolment at this stage is 237

students which is just under the cap for 10 classes.

If you have any concerns about class placement next

year please make an appointment. We can discuss

our plans, at this stage, but of course this may

c h a n g e i f o u r n u m b e r s c h a n g e .

Community Watch: During the long school break

schools are often a target for vandalism or break ins.

If you see anything that needs reporting please

contact the police. The school mobile is also a good

option if you have any enquiries or concerns. The

school mobile number is 0419 282 467.

Thank you to our school leaders for

their leadership in 2013.

Goodbye Year Six

Bradon: I will be attending Dungog High School in 2014. When I

grow up I would like to be a actor or soccer player. My favourite

movie is Lone Ranger and Almost Naked Animals is my favourite

TV show. My favourite food is calamari and a cat aka ally and jedz

are my favourite animal. My favourite accessory is my Xbox and

soccer is my favourite game. My proudest moment at Seaham

Public School has been getting to zone for high jump. Everyone in

Year Six have been my closest friends. I will miss all my friends.

WE WILL MISS YOU!

We would like to thank all

our students who were

emotional for them to pin their badges on

them for the very first time.

On Tuesday night we had the Year Six Farewell

for our students. Thank you to our Year Five

families that decorated the hall and for supplying

the food. Thank you to Michelle Daskalovski for

her fantastic cake. The overall presentation as

usual was brilliant. It was obvious to everyone

how much work and effort was put into making it

a memorable cake for our Year Six Students.

Finally thank you Majestic Music for their music

and the teaching staff for their supervision and

organisation, which made this night possible.

Apologies to Daniel Vasic for the error in the Year

6 book. All books have been asked to be

returned to have the page replaced.
