PRINCIPAL'S NEWS

One of things that makes me exceptionally proud to be the principal of this great school is the way in which the community rallies in times of need. I was overwhelmed with the response to call out for stationery items to support a school community affected by the bushfires. It was heart-warming to see children deliver small bags of goodies to our school!

In total, two pallets of books, pens, highlighters, scissors, crayons and textas were delivered to the Mallacoota P-12 School. The principal was totally overcome by the generosity shown the students of his school community. This was   a fantastic effort - my heartfelt thanks to you all!

Parent Teacher Exchange

Thank you to the many parents who attended the Parent Teacher Exchange last week. This exchange provided teachers with valuable information about each child in the school and added to the handover of information already conducted between 2019 and 2020 teachers.

PFA AGM

The PFA AGM will be held on March 6th at 2.00PM in the library. Nominations forms may be collected from the office. Complete nomination forms are due to the office by 4PM on March 5th 2020.

School Uniform

I have had a request for a lighter windcheater for the milder weather when it is too cold for a polo top yet too warm for a polar fleece top. We are currently checking availability of this type of garment with our supplier and next week we will send out a survey to ascertain parent interest in adding this item to our school uniform options. If there is sufficient interest, the final step will be approval by School Council, the school body responsible for establishing the uniform guidelines and options.
