The Premier of New South Wales has

awarded 7 Gold Certificates to readers of

Lismore Public School. Timothy, Braydon,

Jordan, Tommy, Liam, Blair and Stephanie

were all awarded a Gold Certificate for the

Premiers Reading Challenge.

A gold certificate indicates that the students

have successfully completed the Premiers

Reading Challenge for four years. The

combined total of books read over the 4

years would be 840 books. This is an

outstanding effort by our students.

Only three weeks to go and so much to do

Over the next three weeks Years 5 and 6 will be off on excursions. This week we have our volunteers morning tea, our

carols night and sports assembly. During the last week reports will be issued and we have our annual presentation

assembly. Our Year 6 graduation and our Christmas parties will also take place in the last week.

Lots to do.

Volunteers Morning Tea

We held a morning tea this morning for all our volunteers. It was great to see all the volunteers turn up and enjoy some

time together. The school is very appreciative of their time and commitment to our school. Volunteers play a very important

role in our school community and we thank them very much.

Carols by Candlelight

Tomorrow night we will be holding our annual carols by candlelight. This is a family night and we invite you all

to attend.

The evening will commence at 5.30pm with a sausage sizzle the cost being $2 each. Then the commencement

of the carols will be at 6pm. Each stage will be performing and leading the group in carols. There will be glow

sticks for sale and the canteen will be open.

Sports Assembly

On Friday, commencing at 11:40am, we will be conducting our annual sports assembly. Parents of prize recipients have

already been contacted. However all parents are welcome to attend.

Year 5/6 Excursions

Next week both Year 5 and 6 will be off on their annual major excursions. Year 6 will be off to Stradbroke Island and

Brisbane for the week under the guidance of Mrs Whittle and Mr Harris while Year 5 will be off to Lake Ainsworth under the

guidance of Ms Williams and the Lake Ainsworth staff. I am sure both experiences will be very rewarding for the students

involved.

Combined Scriptrure

Our annual combined scripture service will be held next Tuesday 6 December 2011 in the school hall commencing at 2pm.

New Surface in School Hall

The surface of the floor in the school hall was sanded back and resurfaced last Thursday and Friday. Now we have a

bright and shiny surface for the students to utilise.

Lismore High School Students

At last Friday’s assembly the school captains from Lismore High School attended

our assembly and spoke to the students about their time at high school.

Both students were ex Lismore Public Students. They spoke about the

opportunities given to them at our school and answered questions from students.

They then spoke to Year 5/6 students on their experiences at Lismore High.

We thank Lismore High for giving us this opportunity.

CHRISTMAS HAMPER

This year the P & C are holding a Christmas Raffle. We are asking for donations of items we can use in a Christmas

Hamper. Donations can be left in the box at the school office.

We have been very fortunate to have 3 scooters donated to us by Beach and Bush. This is a very generous gift and we

thank them very much for their generosity at this time of year.

The prizes will depend on the amount of items we have donated. First prize will be a scooter and a hamper then it will

depend on the amount of donations as to what we have to offer for second and third prize.
