1. AN HONOUR …
It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was writing my first newsletter as principal of Moree Public School and now I am writing my last. From the beginning of next year I will be talking leave until I retire. I have greatly enjoyed my time at MPS and there are too many highlights, both professional and personal, to mention. Needless to say, it has been a joy to watch so many happy smiling children come in through the gate each morning into an environment where each of them is known, valued and cared for.

Olivia and Ryan play at Respite Christmas luncheon
Tuesday, 18th December 2018
The infants disco was an entertaining evening with students inspired to dance, sing, play with their glo in the dark items and friends, snack and at times cheer their friends dancing. However, if activity, smiles, laughing and noise can be an indication, then I would have to say the infants disco was a huge success.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
We look forward to resuming school in 2019:
Staff – Tuesday 5th February Yrs 1-6 students – Wednesday 6th February
Kindergarten – Thursday 7th February
Twilight concert held last night was also a huge success with lots of talent on stage. We never cease to be amazed by the talented students we have in our school. Their enthusiasm to perform on stage is just brilliant! It is difficult to pick out one highlight, as so much was happening throughout the performances but I am sure that students will not only remember their role but also that of the teachers who bravely (creatively) took to the stage! What a nice way to finish our term! • A traditional Christmas luncheon was hosted by teachers and support staff for students and supporters of our Special Education unit, yesterday. What a marvellous occasion this proved to be with fantastic chefs and hosts creating a beautiful experience.
Appreciation for such generous support: Rabobank, Jukes & Sons Tyre Service, South Moree Butchery, Moree Town & Country Club, Balo Square Newsagency, Mr & Mrs S. Quinlan & Mr M Cichelli Mr A. King
