The Wave term 4 week 8

Relieving Principal's Message

This week Christmas has arrived at Ballina Public School! The bells are playing jolly Christmas songs and today our Christmas Mufti Day saw a sea of festive cheer.

As the last two weeks approach, I would like to remind everyone how important it is to still come to school every day. We are finishing our learning and have exciting activities planned for most days, including spending time with our new teachers for 2025.

Our end of year celebrations have started with Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 enjoying a day of pizza, bowling and ice blocks on Thursday last week. Years 3 and 4 had their bowling and pizza day on Tuesday and yesterday Years 5 and 6 spent a day slipping and sliding at the water park.

Term 4 is a very busy time and there are lots of important events happening so please check our calendar on School Bytes to ensure that you don’t miss any information. We have a PBL Awards ceremony, PBL Rewards Day, Presentation Day, Year 6 Farewell, End of Year Class parties and the list goes on!

I would like to thank all our families for embracing our new morning procedures. We have had a successful week of welcoming students to school at 8:30am and we are able to ensure the safety and security of our most important assets- our children.

A reminder to you all that our last day of school is on Wednesday Week 10, December 18. Have a wonderful fortnight and I look forward to seeing lots of proud parents at our special events over the next two weeks.

Mrs Wraight

REMINDER

The meal deal is a set meal that changes every two weeks.

K-2 Rewards Day

The K-2 end of year rewards day was a huge success. The Kindergarten students had the luxury of being escorted by bus while Year 1 & 2 students made their way to the venue by walking.

All students had a game of bowling accompanied by lights out and music to dance to. Following this, students enjoyed Dominoes pizza and a popper for lunch.

Upon arrival back at school, the students made their way into their air conditioned classrooms where they were treated with a zooper dooper.

We would like to thank the staff again at Ballina Ten Pin Bowling, who allowed us to eat inside and then kindly disposed of our pizza boxes.

We all had a fabulous time!
