Term 4 is absolutely whizzing by with no end of student activities from Healthy Harold to High School visits.  The disco on Thursday night proved another high point in the last few weeks.  It was fantastic to see so many of our students enjoying the evening and I am very grateful that we have such a proactive P&C that enables such an event to be held.  I would like to commend the students for their behaviour on the evening, particularly their enthusiastic dancing.

As indicated in our newsletter, there are lots of events planned for the final four weeks of school. Next week we have the Term 4 Showcase Assembly and we will be in contact with families of students involved in any performances prior to the event.

A few reminders from me as the school year draws to a close:

• The weather is warmer so hats are essential for outside activities – particularly for those groups walking to and from the pool for swimming.
• Attendance matters every day for school – there is still teaching and learning happening in all of our classes.  Please ensure your child is maintaining high levels of attendance.
• Attending end of year Stage Celebrations (which are currently being planned) is a privilege made available to those students who meet our expectations for behaviour at Moruya Public School.

The P&C would like to thank all parents/carers for their support of our school disco held on the 16 November, it was a HUGE success. Due to the support of parents/carers that helped out with supervision we will be able to continue to hold these events in the future. 

Our School Canteen now has online ordering available through School24 from Monday 20 November. Details for parents can be found below and they were sent home with students today. 

If you require any help with downloading the App or setting up your account, please contact the front office or see Nicole our canteen Manager. 

The Canteen is still looking for parent/carers volunteers to help out when available.  It can be for just one day or for a couple of hours if that is all you can offer but any help would be appreciated.  

Thank you

Students from our school have recently undertaken an educational tour of the National Capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the National Capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government contributes funding per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school at $45 per student upon completion of the excursion and we hope this funding will continue for future excursions.
