Principal’s Report
End of Year As the Christmas holidays draw closer, it is timely to discuss the next few weeks at Hay Public School. Assessments are finished and reports are in the final stages
of being written. We have many exciting activities planned over the next few weeks for our students. This includes Swim School, pool parties, Year 6 Farewell and end of year class parties. Students will be permitted to participate in
these activities, providing they continue to exercise positive behaviours. There will be zero tolerance for students who continually breach the school rules and show disrespect to teachers and aides. I urge all students to
make wise behaviour choices as the consequences for not doing so will mean the exclusion from our end of year activities.
Murrumbidgee Matters
Students recently put their creative skills to work to design the covers for this year’s Murrumbidgee Matters. Tanya Dave was the winner of the competition for the best front
page drawing for our 2016 school magazine and Emma Johnston is the designer of the back page. They are pictured after receiving their award at assembly last Friday. All students who have paid their General Contribution for
2016 will receive a copy of the school magazine at the end of the year. For those wishing to purchase a magazine, the cost will be $10.00.
Parliamentarian Elections 2017 Nominations closed last week for the parliamentarian elections that are due to be held next Monday, 28th November. We have an impressive group of nineteen
students who will be making their election speeches on
Monday morning. Students are eligible to stand for election
if they have demonstrated that they consistently follow the school rules, wear the school uniform with pride and abide by the school’s Code of Conduct on a daily basis. Speeches will commence at 9:30am, the topic being ‘What I can offer
as a Parliamentarian in 2017 to improve Hay Public School?’ Immediately following the speeches, students from Year 2-6 will vote to fill twelve positions of parliamentarian. Students who are unsuccessful will be given the
opportunity to stand for other leadership roles within the school such as Sport House captains in 2017. Swimming School Swimming School commences next week and will run for
two weeks. All students K-6 will attend a swimming lesson every day. Students from Years 2-4 will have lessons from 12-1:30pm daily. The Swim and Survive program is an
advanced swimming program for students in Years 5 and 6.
They will have lessons from 2-3pm each day. The Water Awareness program is offered to students from Kinder –Year 1 and they will also have lessons daily from 2-3pm.
Please ensure that students come to school prepared with swimmers, hat, towel and sunscreen every day. Swimming is a compulsory part of the school program and children are expected to participate and take part unless a medical condition
prevents them from doing so. With Australia’s alarming, escalating rates of people who do not swim confidently, it is important that we teach our children this important skill.
This is especially the case in Hay as we live near a river
that has a high level of recreational use.
Have a great week!

Free Graduated Licensing Scheme Workshops
for Learner Driver Parents in Hay
Young drivers are three times more likely to be
involved in casualty crashes. That's why the Roads
and Maritime Services has introduced a new licensing
scheme, with more supervised driving practice for
learner drivers.
To help parents in supervising learner drivers, the
Roads and Maritime Services has set up a FREE 2
hour workshop for parents that offers practical
advice on how to help learner drivers become safer
drivers.
A FREE parents' workshop will be conducted by
David Riches on Tuesday December 13th at Hay RSL
from 5.30 pm – 7.30 pm. Early bookings are essential, by phoning David on
0434 964764 now to reserve your place, or email
