Thank you to our amazing community for turning out in force to support our mini fete yesterday afternoon. It was wonderful to see parents, grandparents, ex Boambee students and community members support our amazing school! We have raised nearly $8000.00 for our school! A massive thanks to Ms Townsend for her superb organisation and ensuring the fete went smoothly. Thank you also to the teachers, support staff and cleaners for all putting in the hard yards - we have a brilliant team at Boambee and congratulations to everyone. Day for Daniel, Australia’s largest child safety awareness and education day was held today. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation aims to make Australia a safe place for all children. It’s important that as a community we prioritise the safety of all children. Thanks to Miss Thompson and the SRC for coordinating today for our school. This term, we welcomed Mrs Wigg to KW. Mrs Wigg has been on maternity leave after giving birth to the gorgeous Molly! Thanks to Mr Sharkey for teaching KW in Mrs Wigg’s absence. Ms Townsend will be taking leave from 5th November for the rest of 2018. Mr Daley Lemaire will be teaching 5T and is a familiar face to our students. Ms Townsend has been granted a transfer to Woolgoolga PS and Mrs Melanie Sciortino has been appointed to Boambee PS, to commence in 2019. Mrs Sciortino is currently teaching at Woolgoolga PS. We have seen a large increase of children dropped off at school well before 8:20am, when the teacher commences morning duty. Some children are being dropped off before 7:45am. There is no supervision for children at this time. Please assist us by dropping your children off when they are supervised.
