This will be the final school newsletter for Term 3. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the teachers, admin staff, students and the community for all of the hard work that has translated into effective student learning throughout the term. This hard work, dedication and teamwork, from all involved, has ensured that the whole school community has worked together to make sure that our students receive the best education possible and that our NAPLAN results continue to demonstrate pleasing trends with regards to student growth. I will share more specifics of our NAPLAN results at the first Community Café that will occur on Thursday 8 November at 2.00pm in the school library. There have been a number of highlights and achievements throughout the term. These include our Athletics Carnival, Little Learners, the Y-PEP Child Protection Program, the launch of Community Café, SEU Music Tutor Program, our Book Fair and Book Week, the P&C Father’s Day stall, our continued involvement in the ‘Got It’ Program and our bi-annual Carnivale, which was a huge success yesterday. It has been a busy and productive term and I again thank the staff for their hard work in ensuring the best outcomes for your children. I would like to take the opportunity to mention that the Tender for the Out of School Hours Service (OOSHS) will be advertised by 3 October on the NSW Government eTendering website. This can be located at https://tenders.nsw.gov.au. I would encourage anyone interested in providing this service to view the tender and apply if applicable. I would like to wish all of our families a safe and enjoyable Spring holiday break with their children. School will resume for students on Monday 15 October. Regards, Mark Davies | Principal | Lithgow Public School
