MRS CAMPBELL’S FAREWELL ASSEMBLY

We will be celebrating Mrs Campbell’s Farewell next

Friday at 10:30 in the School Library. This will be a

special assembly dedicated to Mrs Campbell and her

years of teaching the students at Ulmarra PS. We will

follow with a picnic morning tea for students and

parents to share in the cutting of her retirement cake

and to reminisce about her time with us.

BOOK FAIR

Thank you to everyone who bought books at our Book

Fair last week. Due to the fantastic response by

community, students and families the school was able

to select $450 worth of books for free. What a great

effort by Tania Watt to open the Book Fair each day

for purchasing. Thank you Tania we really appreciate

your support.

P & C News

BBQ For Sale!

Thanks to all of the great support the P&C received from our parents and the community last

year, the P&C were able to upgrade to a new BBQ for our future fundraising endeavours. This

leaves us with our old BBQ still working, but no longer needed. It’s a four burner with no

hood. We are asking $50 for it. It’s a great little BBQ. So if you are in the market for a BBQ

please come and have a look at this one. Price is negotiable.

P&C Meeting 9th June 5:30 in the library.

Farewell Mrs Campbell from Ulmarra

Public School

We will all miss you and wish you the very best in
