Congratulations

Kobe and Shanae

Haywood competed in the

2012 D’Arcy Slater

Country Schools Classic

tennis tournament

representing the Moore

District Zone. I would like

to congratulate them as

their team won the

competition. They will now

play in the finals for the

Academy Plate at the

State Centre. On behalf of

Goomalling PS

congratulations and good

luck.

Thank you

I would like to thank Terry Schell for customizing our

oversized whiteboard to fit into the Year 4/5 classroom. I

know Mrs Smith and all the students really appreciate

your efforts over the weekend.

Andrew Britton, Principal

The Principal’s Pen

The student councillors and Room 6 hosted our first

assembly of the year. It was fantastic to see how

confident the students were at public speaking. The year

5/6/7 students presented work they have completed

throughout the term in the form of a news report. A very

creative presentation, well done.

I would like to thank Jo Niski who has taken on the role of

leading and mentoring our student councillors. The first

assembly was a credit to her. The councillors were

extremely organised, often using their own time to support

the school. I’m looking forward to the forthcoming

assemblies.

Parent Night

It was great to see so many parents attend our annual

parent and community BBQ night. It was an opportunity

for teachers to present information about their classroom

to parents. Thank you for your support.

Safe4Kids– Protective behaviours.

Protective Behaviours Education is a proactive, holistic, whole community approach to teaching life skills to children. It teaches the children themselves language and principles of Protective Behaviour, which helps them identify unsafe situations, and arms them with the tools to either seek appropriate assistance or to protect themselves. Holly-ann Martin is presenting the information to parents on Tuesday 13th March at the pavilion, Goomalling, 7-9pm. It will be great to see you all there. Please RSVP to Julie Forward if you intend on attending by Monday 12th March.

Swimming Carnival

The annual Mortlock Swimming Carnival is being held at

the Goomalling Swimming Pool on Friday 9th March.

There has been a substantial amount of planning being

undertaken by Mrs Forward and Mrs Shelia Smith; thank

you for your time and effort, I know all the teachers,

students and parents from the competing schools

appreciate your commitment. Good luck to all the

competitors.
