PRINCIPAL’S DESK

On Tuesday Week 10, we held our annual Presentation Day. I would like to congratulate all

the students who were award recipients. Thank you to the parents and community members

who were in attendance. I would also like to thank all our sponsors for their generous support.

Students will return in 2019 on the following dates:

Years 7, 11 and 12 on Wednesday 30 January 2019.

Years 8, 9 and 10 on Thursday 31 January 2019.

Narooma High School uniforms, including the green sports PE shirts, can now be purchased

at EzyWear, located in the centre of Narooma near the lights.

Our staff were pleased with this year’s HSC results. A large number of students received Band

5 which places them in the top 20% of the state and we had two students who made the

distinguished achievers list by scoring Band 6. Rory Spurgeon in Mathematics and Cassidy

Ker in English Extension 1 and Legal Studies. Congratulations to all our outgoing Year 12

students.

On Pages 4, 5 and 6 please find information about the FACS scholarships which are available

for next year.

Finally, I wish everyone a safe Christmas and Happy New Year. I look forward to seeing all our

students on their return in 2019.
