Week 4
We’ve had a fantastic week and it still hasn’t finished!
This is a newsletter full of ‘thank you’!
On Tuesday we had a wonderful Book Character
Parade in the hall. Thank you to everyone from
Kindergarten to Year 6 and the staff for getting into
the spirit of the day. Thank you to the parents and
grandparents who helped put together such creative
costumes. It is lovely when all children have the
chance to be involved. Everyone looked marvellous!
Go to our website to see the photos in colour – thank
you to our wonderful photographer of the day, Mrs
Hall.
Another thank you goes to Mrs Anderson who
coordinated the lovely morning tea to raise money as
part of Pink Ribbon Day. Thank you also to the many
families and staff who contributed to the morning tea.
It was great to finish off the day with parents and
family visiting our classrooms and the Book Trivia
Quiz in the afternoon.
Yesterday we welcomed our new Kindergarten
students for 2015. It was the first of their orientation
visits. Mrs McLaren organised a wonderful session for
these future students of Goulburn East. Thank you to
both Mrs McLaren and Mrs Moss for their preparation
and enthusiasm, and also to Mrs Peden who
presented a session to the parents in the library while
the students were in the classroom having fun. Some
of our senior students welcomed both current and
new parents at the gate and they impressed our
visitors with their courtesy and genuine enthusiasm
for our school. Thank you very much to those
students for promoting our school in such a positive
way.
Our Book Fair has been on in the library throughout
this week, closing tomorrow afternoon at 4pm. Mrs
Peden has worked tirelessly to make this event run
smoothly.
Thank you to all staff, students and families for
making this such a great place to be! These
wonderful things don’t just magically happen.
