DECEMBER 12th FUNDING ANNOUCEMENT ON FRIDAY On Tuesday afternoon I received a call from Jackson Taylor MP for Bayswater, notifying me that he would like to drop in this Friday at 1:30pm as he had a spe- cial funding announcement for TBPS. Today I have been informed that Minister Merlino will also be attending. Parents are most welcome to attend this special assembly in our gymnasium. THANKYOU FOR THE SPECIAL MORNING TEA On behalf of the whole staff I would like to extend our thanks to those parents who provided the staff with a special morning tea last week. The food was amazing and lasted for a couple of days. It was a lovely gesture – THANKYOU! APPOINTMENTS It is with pleasure that I announce to our school community the appointment of two new classroom teachers who will join us in 2020. Julianne Wilson has been appointed to the position of the Literacy Learning Specialist and Nicole Snelleksz to a classroom position. We extend a warm welcome to them both at The Basin Primary School. 2020 SCHOOL CAPTAIN ANNOUCEMENT Two Fridays ago, 12 amazing Grade 5 students delivered their school captain speeches at the whole school assembly. Their speeches were well planned and delivered and we are so very proud of them all. After the assembly all children returned to their classrooms to vote along with the staff. It is with great pleasure that I inform the school community that our School Cap- tains for 2020 are Ruby Jeans and Jo Murrell . We met with all the Grade 5 stu- dents last Monday to announce the result of the vote and every one of them applauded Ruby and Jo – we were so impressed by the response of this amaz- ing cohort of students. We are a school that acknowledges all our grade 6 stu- dents as leaders and as such they all receive a leadership badge early 2020. FINAL ASSEMBLY – THURSDAY 19 th DECEMBER Our final assembly for the school year will commence at 1:45pm in the gymna- sium on Thursday 19 th December. This a special assembly where we will con- gratulate our students on a fine year and present some awards. It is also the last day for our Grade 6’s students who will commence their secondary educa- tion in the New Year. Thursday’s assembly will be difficult for everyone – espe- cially the Prep buddies! Could I ask parents to collect their children from the new gymnasium/assembly given the early finish! School staff maybe operating the two crossings closest to the school if our crossing people are unavailable, to ensure people get across the road safely.
