PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Go Burringbar go!!! Many things are happening at Burringbar and it is an exciting place to
be.
Our Stage 2 Public Speaking Finals were held last week. Congratulations to all those
involved. Our finalists included Leo Molinari, Ella Charman, Charlie Munro, Zac Catterall,
Harry Woodlee and Jade Toovey. I thought the standard of speeches were exceptionally
high and they were all very entertaining. Congratulations to Leo Molinari who will
represent our school in the next round.
The District Athletics Carnival was held on 31st July and was a great success.
Congratulations to all those who participated. From this carnival some students were
chosen to represent at the Far North Coast Athletics Carnival at Byron Bay on Friday 14th
August. Good luck to Abigail Greenshields, Mcailah Broadfoot, Zelie Halloran, Kumali
Paulson, Finn Caban, Ry Meyer and Kaleb Booth.
Congratulations to our sporting teams in both hockey and soccer who have made it into
the final round of their draw. They are both deep into the draw now and should be very
proud of their achievements. Both games were very exciting with both matches being
quite close. We have already locked in a game for hockey against Westlawn Public School
next Friday 21st August. We are playing in Ballina on the synthetic field. At this stage for
soccer we hope to have a game sorted at Bangalow on Wednesday 19th August where we
will be playing Rosebank Public School. Once again go Burringbar! Good luck!
A huge thank you to all parents who have volunteered to drive students to this event. It is
very much appreciated. Also thanks to Nina Bathie, Chris Costello, David Woodley, and
Mathew Steele who have helped coach either the soccer or hockey teams.
The book fair on the 20th August was a great opportunity for students to purchase some
books and help the school raise some money. A huge thank you to Thea Patrick who works
one day a week but was in three days this week to make this happen. Also many thanks to
Corinne Toovey who assisted Thea on the day.
Our practice for the Stewart House Concert continues. Many thanks to our teachers who
have done a great job in not only teaching circus skills but also in teaching all students a
dance. The students during practice have done an amazing job in staying focussed and I
am really looking forward to the Presentation Night. Don’t forget on Thursday 20th August
at 9.15 students will travel to Murwillumbah High School for a practice. Students do not
need to be in their costumes for this practice. All students are required to attend this
practice even if they are not going on the night. Please remember to send in the $5 for the
bus and the permission slip. On the night we are meeting at the back of the hall at 6.30.
Good luck kids it should be fantastic!
Finally thanks to the P and C for their fundraising event with the pie drive making many
families happy. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your support and cooperation .
