Tucabia Public School

Aspiring students to succeed by challenging potential

TOUCH FOOTY GALA COMPETITION

Last Friday the students in Years 3-6 travelled to Yamba to participate in a touch football gala

day. All the children enjoyed the challenge. The most valued player for Year 3/4 was Jaxon

Moran and most valued player for Year 5/6 was Archie Carter. Great job boys!

LIFE EDUCATION VAN

We all had an enjoyable Monday this week with the arrival of the Life Education Van. Sam and

Happy, Healthy Harold conducted two very informative sessions for the students based on

Personal Development and Healthy Lifestyles. The children responded positively to the key

messages and strategies shared. They included living in a smoke free society & safe and

healthy living.

P & C TRIVIA NIGHT

On Saturday the P&C held a Trivia Night at the Tucabia Hall. It was a great success with over

100 people participating. The P & C raised over $900 on the night with additional funds still

being tallied. A thank you to all the people who supported the event with special mention of

Amy Moran and Elle Chellew for their tireless and efficient organisation. The ladies have also

been extremely busy collating a 2016 School Calendar that promotes local businesses. These

are being sold for only $15 at the School office with copies also available at the Tucabia Shop.

Pick up a copy of this great calendar now for your own use or as a Christmas gift.

SCIENCE DAY

On Tuesday Mrs Libby Lund conducted a fun Science activity day. The students were

placed in multi-age groups and ventured between nine experimental tasks. The focus was

on the concept ‘light’ and included tasks about the colour spectrum, heat, transparency

and a kaleidoscope. The day also included a Science trivia quiz and a yummy morning tea.

Congratulations Mrs Lund, it was a fabulous day enjoyed by the students, the staff and

the many family members who joined us.

MULLAWAY MUSICAL EXCURSION

On Tuesday the 15th September the K-6 students will spend an entertaining day at

Mullaway PS participating in a range of fun, learning activities. This will include an

environmental headland walk; active Maths activities and the viewing of a school musical,

“Let Loose with Dr Seuss’. This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn and
