Dear Parents,
Last week was another great example of the community spirit we have
here in Wyee. Even though the weather wasn’t kind to us, we had a
great turn out for our Open Day and parent presentation in the morning.
At our parent presentation, community members were given the chance
to have their say about the future directions for our wonderful school.
The responses were fantastic and will certainly help to ensure that the
planning for our school involves community input, student input and
teacher input. We will all work together to continue creating the best
possible learning experiences for our children. Many thanks also to the
P&C and our fabulous mums who cooked the BBQ all morning for our
open day. Your help was much appreciated.
I also had a visit from our Director of Schools for West Lake Macquarie
last Thursday. He was very impressed with our new foyer and gardens
and with the direction Wyee PS is heading. Once again, our community
spirit shone through, when Leanne Knapman raced in to jazz up our new
foyer with some indoor plants.
I have been continuing to see amazing student work in my office. A
stand out was the digital stories created by 3W. Zayli, Ella and Bailey
did an amazing digital story for Koala Lou. Kanye, Emily and Mikayla also
showed their technology skills by creating a digital story for The
Gruffalos Child. Well done to our little techno wizards in Year 3!
Finally this week, I look forward to seeing lots of Dads at our
Father’s Day breakfast on Thursday morning! Come along for a bacon
and egg roll and enjoy joining in some games with your children.

STATE!!
Staff Profile – Di Kirkham
I was fortunate to have been brought up in a small country town in Western NSW. I went to
Secretarial College in Dubbo the year after I left school. I then went to Sydney to pursue a
career and landed my first job as a legal secretary. I then trained in accounting and worked in
this field for many more years. I started working for the Department of Education in 1984 at
Liverpool Regional Office. I moved to Campbelltown and then started working in schools. I have
always said that I have been blessed to have the job that I do. When I started working here at
Wyee Public School it was like coming home. I love the fact that it is a small school and community
which is much like where I grew up. The passion and enthusiasm that the staff, parents and
students have is a real joy to share in every day.
School Banking The Penguin keyring is now out of stock. School Banking is every Friday. Thank you to
the students who bank through the school as with every deposit made, besides teaching
the value of saving the school receives a commission and it is a great fundraising
activity.
Hunter Region Athletics Last Friday Jesse, Cooper and Jack competed at the Hunter Region Athletics Carnival in
Newcastle. All of the boys competed to the best of their ability and it was a
tremendous effort to make it this far and represent our school at regional level.
Special congratulations to Jesse, who placed 3rd in the 13yr boys 100m. Jesse will now
represent our school at the NSW State Athletics Championships at the Sydney Olympic
Park in Homebush.
