Relieving Principal's Message
Welcome back to all our families. I hope you have all managed to find some well-earned family time together over the past six weeks. We are very happy to have you all back with us and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.
We have hit the ground running with our competitive swimming carnival being held on Thursday for our swimmers aged 8 to 12 years. Congratulations to those students who swam fast enough times to make it through to the District carnival held next week. Good luck to all 14 of you!
Ballina Public School has already planned lots of exciting events for Term 1, including the rescheduling of our very anticipated Movie Night at the end of the term.
Please make sure that you are checking the school calendar and school Bytes regularly for updates.
We will be holding Parent Meet and Greets on Wednesday 26 of February from 3:30pm to 5:30pm. This is your opportunity to put a face to your child's teacher and discuss anything that will help us get to know your little person better. Bookings will be made on the School Bytes app from 8am Monday morning and details on how to register a time will be sent home soon.
I look forward to an amazing Term 1.
