As the end of the term is fast approaching it is a very good opportunity for all of us to reflect on what has been a truly challenging but highly successful term for our school and community. Our wonderful school has continued to approach each and every day in a very positive manner and it has been remarkable how seamless the transition back to normality has been within the guidelines we have been allowed to operate in.Congratulations to our SGPS community!
Our school is endeavouring to still ensure our students have every opportunity to participate in activities which would normally be part of our school calendar even though they may not have the opportunity to progress to the next level. Some activities we will still possibly offer the opportunity for further progression eg. Debating which may be completed utilising platforms such as Zoom. I have also been having discussions with some local schools regarding sport and we are very hopeful our sporting teams will have the opportunity to represent our school next term in a format where rules align to the PSSA knockout requirements. This is particularly essential for our Year 6 students.

Term 2 Week 9 - Thursday 25th June 2020
Inspiring Excellence through PRIDE Principal: Mr Peter Hickey Vere Street South Grafton NSW 2460
National NAIDOC Week 2020 celebrations will now be held from the 8th-15th November.The November dates follow the decision by the National NAIDOC Committee (NNC) to postpone NAIDOC Week from the original July dates due to the impacts and uncertainty from the escalating Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic across our communities and cities.We look forward to our school celebrating this very important week on our school calendar later this year.
Next week our school is holding our End of Term Rewards days for our Infants, Wednesday 1st July and our Primary Day, Friday 3rd July. Both campuses have a range of fun activities planned. Our Primary Campus are having a Pyjama Rewards Day, students can wear their favourite winter pyjamas but must ensure they are appropriately dressed, including footwear, to participate in tabloid activities. Our Infants Campus may wear their favourite mufti clothes ensuring they wear covered shoes and no singlet tops. Kindergarten students may also bring their favourite teddy bear for a Teddy Bear’s Picnic. We are looking forward to fun filled days! Our students who have shown outstanding efforts throughout this term will also receive their AAA certificate on Friday 3rd July. Attendance which is part of this award will be treated very subtly. Congratulations to all these wonderful students at our school.
Earlier this week I received communication from our Director of Educational Leadership Mrs Meghanne Wellard that she has chosen our school to have NSW DEC ‘brand’ photos taken next week. This is an outstanding recognition of our school as Mrs Wellard had to choose 1 primary school and 1 high School (South Grafton High School) from our local area. The ‘brand’ photos are utilised by the NSW DEC for advertising Public Schools across NSW and beyond. Our thanks to Mrs Wellard for nominating our school.
Please remember to practise social distancing when picking up and dropping off your children, particularly on our Infants campus. Please ensure your child has a drink bottle as our bubblers are closed for individual drinking.
Have a great weekMr Peter Hickey Principal
StemSeshSome lucky students and students from 5/6ER had an amazing experience in the StemSesh last week where they had a live Q&A session with a Google expert. They learnt all about what it takes to work at Google and also how to write a digital Pick a Path story.
SRC - Jelly Bean Guessing CompetitionDon’t forgot our SRC are running a jelly bean guessing competition until the end of Term. Students will be able to enter each day at the Primary Campus and each Wednesday at the Infants Campus during lunch time breaks. The cost to enter the competition is 20c per guess. The winners will be announced on the last day of term.Opportunity Class placement for 2021

Student banking will resume on Tuesday 21st July.
Marvellous Maths with Mrs McGrathNext week at school, primary students are asked to wear pyjamas for our Rewards Day. How many buttons are on every pyjama top? How many buttons do you think there will be in your class? Will every student wear pyjamas with buttons? How many buttons could be on the primary campus on that day?I wonder how many teachers will wear pyjamas?I can’t wait to find out! Have a great week exploring mathematics! Mrs McGrath
