FAREWELL MR O’DEA

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Mr

Mick O’Dea has retired from teaching after a long

and rewarding career of 38 years in Public

Education. He started teaching in February 1979 at

Adelong Public School and in May 1986 joined the

staff of Wagga Wagga Public School where he has

remained for the past 31 years.

Mr O’Dea has been a well-respected and

passionate teacher who has inspired and nurtured

hundreds of students throughout their primary

schooling. He will be remembered for the activities

that his students were offered including

photography, astronomy, wood-working, tie-dying

and who can forget juggling. The students and staff at our school are fortunate to have had Mr O’Dea share his skills and talents with them and the memories he has created will long be talked about.

On behalf of the whole Wagga Wagga Public School community—past and present, I

wish Mick a long and happy retirement and thank him for his dedicated service to our

school and to Public Education. We will miss him.

Last Thursday, Ruby organised

a lunchtime disco to raise

funds for The Children’s

Starlight Foundation. With the

help of her parents—Nat and

Andrew and fellow captain

Ethan, Ruby hosted a fantastic

event which was thoroughly

enjoyed by our students.

Ruby raised $1010 for this

charity and should be so

proud of her self.

Ruby would like to

thank everyone

who supported this

event and to

everyone for their

generosity.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT CONTINUED...

Mindfulness in the Classroom

We know that to really make a

positive impact on children’s mental

health, we need to provide them

with skills that can be used

throughout their lives. If we tune in

to our body and our mind through

mindfulness and meditation, we can

improve our learning. The Smiling

Mind Education Programs are

mapped to the curriculum and

designed to support educators to

bring mindfulness into the classroom.

The Smiling Mind Education Program

offers mental health and wellbeing

tools designed for primary and

secondary aged children. It has been

successfully implemented in a wide

variety of government and non-

government schools with positive

results in classes of all sizes,

backgrounds, locations and ages.

The Smiling Mind Education Program

has been proven to help students

with sleep, wellbeing, managing

emotions, concentration and school

behaviour including reductions in

bullying. The program also assists

with:

stress management,

increased resilience,

increased creativity,

better decision making, and

a sense of calm, clarity and

contentment.

Research has shown that involving

the whole community – teachers,

parents and students – is the most

effective way to gain the long-lasting

benefits of mindfulness.

NAPLAN

Our students in Years 3 and 5 began NAPLAN today. They completed Language Conventions

and Writing today and will complete Reading tomorrow and Numeracy on Thursday. Good

luck to all our students. Keep NAPLAN in perspective. It's just a snapshot in time. The truest

measure of your ability is in doing your best.

CROSS COUNTRY

Congratulations to everyone who participated in our annual Cross Country last Friday. The

weather was beautiful and once again our students showed their determination in

completing the run. Thanks to the staff and parents who assisted on the day and to Mr

Burgess and Mrs Thorpe for organising this event.

BOOK FAIR

Last week we held another successful Book Fair at the School. We sold $4680 worth of books

and stationary and earned just over $900 in commission for our school library. This is a

fantastic effort. Thank you to everyone who supported the Book Fair and to Mrs Allen for all

your hard work in organising this event.

PARENT PAYMENTS

Due to the upcoming LMBR launch at Wagga Wagga Public School we will not be accepting

parent payments online or through the office for the two weeks starting Saturday, 13th

May to Monday, 29th May.

OFFICE CLOSED

With the launch of our new administration and finance systems fast approaching, please

note that our school office will be closed on Monday, 22nd May for LMBR Go Live day. It

will resume operation on Tuesday, 23rd May.

Have a great week. Leanne
