Plattsburg Public School Newsletter

April 2026, Term 1 Week 10

A Message from the Principal

As we come to the end of a busy and successful term, I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know the students and families of Plattsburg. It has been such a pleasure to meet so many members of our community and to experience firsthand the warmth, pride and strong connections that make our school such a special place. I feel very grateful to be part of this wonderful school community.

As Anzac Day approaches, it is an important time for us to pause and reflect on the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have served our country. It is also a valuable opportunity for our students to learn about remembrance, respect and gratitude, and to understand the importance of these values in our lives today.

Our athletics carnival was another wonderful highlight of the term. It was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm, encouragement and team spirit on display throughout the day. Seeing students give their best, cheer each other on and proudly represent their teams was a great reminder of the positive spirit that exists across our school.

I would also like to sincerely congratulate our staff and students on the way they managed our recent evacuation drill. The calm, cooperative and responsible manner shown by everyone was something to be very proud of, and it reflected the strong sense of teamwork and care we value at Plattsburg Public School.

As the term draws to a close, I would like to wish all of our students, staff and families a safe, restful and happy break. Thank you for your continued support and for the many ways you contribute to making Plattsburg Public School such a caring and vibrant place to learn.

School returns for students on Wednesday 22nd April.

Every school day counts!

Attending school every day and arriving on time sets students up for success. When students are at school consistently, they build strong learning habits, stay connected with their classmates, and don’t miss out on important lessons. Even missing just a day here and there can add up and make it harder to keep up.

Arriving on time is just as important. It helps students start the day calmly, be ready to learn, and take part in all classroom activities from the very beginning. It also builds responsibility and good routines that last a lifetime.

Let’s work together to support our students by making school attendance a priority and ensuring they arrive on time each day. Every day matters, and every minute counts!

Congratulations to these students with 100% school attendance, Well Done!

Sport

Rugby League Gala Day

Our Rugby League Gala Day was a huge success for the Plattsburg Under 10s team. All students who participated represented our school with outstanding sportsmanship and pride.

It was fantastic to see some of our students playing Rugby League for the very first time and embracing the experience with enthusiasm and teamwork.

This event was also a special milestone for our school, marking the first time in Plattsburg’s history that we have entered a Rugby League team. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to participating in more Rugby League Gala Days later in the year.

A big thank you to Miss Amanda for her efforts in organising the team and guiding the students through their warm-ups and skill development. We also extend our thanks to all the families who supported the day by assisting with transport to and from the event.

Plattsy proudly hosted our first Values Gala Day for 2026!

Our students took part in a wide variety of games and activities, all designed to showcase and celebrate our school values. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, teamwork, and positive spirit on display throughout the morning.

A special congratulations to our senior students, who led the events with the support of our teachers. They did an amazing job organising, guiding, and encouraging others, showing true leadership and responsibility.

Well done to everyone involved in making the morning such a success, we’re so proud of our students!

2026 School Calendar

Clothing Pool Donations

If your child had a growth spurt and no longer fit into some of their uniforms, you can donate them back to the Clothing Pool. If the uniforms are still in good condition, please drop them into the office anytime. 

Community

We’ve designed our studio space to be welcoming, creative, and comfortable—perfect for students of all ages to feel safe and confident while learning music. We currently offer private lessons in Piano, Guitar, Singing, Bass and Music Theory, soon to be drum lessons in mid Term 2.

Our teaching approach is tailored to each individual student, helping them grow in both skill and self-expression. Whether they’re beginners or more advanced, we strive to create a space where they feel encouraged, understood, and inspired to explore music freely.

We are located in Wallsend and we feel as though our local music school would be a great place for your little ones to learn extracurricular activities.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn more—we’d love to hear from you.

Warm regards,

Molly & Sam
