Hello Parents and Carers,

This week we acknowledge the successes and achievements for 2019. Tomorrow is our Awards Day where every student is acknowledged for their achievements over 2019. It will be held in the Literary Institute starting at 1:30pm.

On Thursday, we give thanks for our school year and the many blessings we have shared as a school and community. We take time to farewell our graduating students, Year 6, followed by a morning tea. All parents are welcome to join us in St Mary’s Church at 10am.

Also, in our Thanksgiving Mass we will be farewelling two staff members. Ms Jess Soulsby has a position at St Joseph’s Adelong for 2019 and Ms Mercedes Brown is leaving as she and her husband, Robert, welcome a new baby into their little family early next year.

In other items, I would like to congratulate the Year 6 leaders on running a very successful Country Day last week. It raised a massive total of $470! Ms Collins and all our students are very pleased to be spreading some Christmas joy towards St Patrick’s Primary School in Trundle.

Next Tuesday is our end of year party at the Batlow Swimming Pool. Funds from home cooking and cake raffles conducted this year fund this day. Please see further details about Pool Day in this newsletter and also via a separate email. Thank you for supporting our Friday cooking initiative over the year. The students really do look forward to the opportunity to spend money and enjoy a treat.

Have a lovely week everyone.

Jannine
