This is our final Newsle er for 2016. 

Bowraville Central School Community wish you all a Happy and Safe Holiday. 

Principal’s Message 

Many  thanks  to  all  parents,  carers  and  community members  who  joined  us  this  week  at  our  annual Presenta on Day  assemblies.  2016  has  been  another year  of  significant  achievement  and  it  is  always wonderful  to  be  able  to  come  together  as  a  whole community when honouring the efforts of  individuals, teams, and indeed the whole school. 

In  my  address  to  the  assemblies  I  also  had  the opportunity  to  acknowledge  several  staff  who  will sadly not be part of our team in 2017: 

Diana O’Donnell – congratula ons on your re rement a er  decades  of  professionalism  and  compassion, dedicated  for  so  much  of  her  career  to  the  young children of Bowraville. We honour your contribu on to Public Educa on. 

Jenny  Sawyer  –  Our  Early  Ac on  for  Success Instruc onal  Leader,  who  has  worked  hard  at improving  teaching  and  learning  in  the  early  years. Sincere thanks and all the very best for your return to the role of Principal at Smithtown PS. 

Richard  Clarke  ‐  who  will  once  again  be  enjoying  a twelve month  leave period – we  look forward to your lengthy traveller’s tales and perhaps even longer beard upon your return to us in 2018. 

Anne e Rowell  ‐ who will  also next  year be  taking  a very well‐deserved  period  of  leave  in  2017. We wish you  all  health  and  happiness  during  your  me  away from us. 

Stephanie Edelen – a student  teacher who has  joined us  for  Term  4  2016  from  Indiana  State  University, USA….  Sincere  thanks  to  the many  fine  contribu ons you have made to Bowraville in a short  me. You have been  a  perfect  ambassador  for  your  university  and your country, and you shall be missed by all at Bowra. 

Marian Williamson  –  our  fondest  thoughts  are  with Marian and her family as she con nues her brave fight against serious illness.  

Please find  enclosed within  this newsle er  a  copy  of the  Term  1  2017  school  calendar.  Following  a  well‐deserved  Summer  break  we  will  all  look  forward  to coming back together as a school community to make 2017 an even be er year. 

Wishing  everyone  the  best  Christmas  and  New  Year wishes.
