Principal’s Report
Regional Swimming
How exciting to have a Mt Pleasant Public School Senior
Relay Team swim in the regional finals! Ashley Smith, William
Schaefer, Bailee Lucas and Ella Fitzsimmons attained a very
credible result on the day and we are very proud of their
achievements. Many thanks to the parents who supported
their children to attend the event in Newcastle on Tuesday.
School excursion to the Australian Reptile Park On Tuesday 17 March the whole school will travel by bus to the Australian Reptile Park. The cost is $14 per child for entry to the park and the school will cover the cost of the bus. A permission note will be coming home today. Please check that you have returned the 2020 Information sheet, as this has the medical information required to take your child on an excursion.
Junior Cattle Judging
On Friday 6th March six students will represent Mt Pleasant
Public School in the Junior Cattle Judging Competition at the
Newcastle Show. The students are: Cambell Cronin, William
Schaefer, Ashley Smith, Lachlan Bailey, Jack Thomas, Chloe
Smith, Hunter Nott and Cooper Shoemark. Miss Arvanitis will
be the accompanying teacher. We wish you all the best of
luck!
Teamwork- Strength Spotting
As a part of our ‘visible wellbeing’ initiatives, we have a focus
upon the benefits of being a good member of a team, and
showing good teamwork skills in all we do. Typically
teamwork is defined as: the willingness of a group of people
to work together to achieve a common aim or goal. For
example we often use the phrase, ‘he or she is a good team
player’. This means someone has the interests of the team at
heart and works for the good of the team. It would be great if
you could catch your child being a ‘good team player’ and
congratulate them, further encouraging them to see this as a
great strength for building healthy relationships!

Regional Swimming Report
Congratulations to the Merit Award and
Citizenship winners Term 1, Week 6
On the 3rd of March, Will Schaefer, Ella Fitzsimmons, Bailee Lucas and I went to the regional swimming carnival at Lambton Pool. We qualified to compete in the mixed senior relay for small schools (PP6 competition). We came second last overall, but swam our hardest against heaps of good relay teams. It was all very nerve racking at first, but when we got into the pool we felt at home. I think we all did very well and a big thank you the the parents who came on the day! By Ashley Smith
We had fun at our parent barbeque breakfast!
