South Grafton Public School will be involved in a number of excellent initiatives over the next few weeks

On Wednesday August 26 we will be holding two performing arts concerts for our Infants and Primary campuses. Our performing arts program is truly outstanding, and we are looking forward to this showcase. We welcomed back Mr Tapp last week and he will be organising these concerts for our school. Our school will be videoing and taking photos of these concerts which will be highlighted on our school Facebook page as unfortunately due to NSW DEC guidelines parents cannot attend. The video component will be snippets of each performance.

Our Book Fair opens Friday August 21 (Week 5) and students will be able to browse and write a Wish List from that day.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions purchasing will be a little different this year.

Information is available at https://sites.google.com/a/education.nsw.gov.au/librarywithmrsheyman/book-fair-2020 .

Parents can purchase online for their students and books can be collected at the Book Fair, or students can purchase directly from Book Fair using cash only.

Our Book Character Parade is on Tuesday September 1 so get your thinking caps on to work out which character you will come dressed as this year. We love to see imaginative and creative costumes, not really expensive ones. There will be book prizes awarded to the most fantastic costumes!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our Book Character Parade will also be a little different this year.

We will host one parade per campus, and we are unable to invite family members to school to watch our fantastic parades this year. Infants parade will be at 9.30am and the Primary parade will be at 11.30am.

Last Wednesday we had two Rugby League teams participate in a Gala Day with Grafton PS at McKittrick Park. All our students had a fun day and showed great team spirit and sportsmanship.

Last Thursday our Prefects were involved in their second leadership development day which was held at our school and led by Mrs McIntyre and Mr Zacek. The students were working on some initiatives to further improve their understanding of our school PRIDE values.

 

We are enrolling now for kindergarten 2021. Please complete your enrolment forms and lodge with either office to help us with our planning for 2021. It is very important we have a very good idea of our numbers as our staffing is decided each year on school numbers which have to be processed by November.
