Year 6 Farewell

Tonight is the night of the Year 6 Farewell. All Year 6 students need to arrive at 6.15pm and assemble outside the library. Year 6 parents/carers leave once the students are seated and return at approximately 7.30pm to watch and participate in the dance, power point photos, Year 6 song and presentation of honour rolls and calculators (gift). The evening concludes at 9.00pm. All the best Year 6 – have a wonderful night and remember this will be one of the highlights of your years in primary school. We would like to thank all the Year 5 parents who have helped in any way to make this night such a success. Without your enthusiasm, dedication, skills and hard work, this event would not go ahead. Thank you for being so reliable, considerate and cooperative - a true team! Rod Maggs, Assistant Principal, Stage 3 Thank you – We would like to say a big thank you to Gloucester Public School staff, especially all the teachers we have had over the last seven years. We will really miss all of the staff and fellow students! We have so many great memories from the past years. 2018 Year 6 students

School Banking

It’s been another successful year for school banking. Our top savers were Amelia Gruisinga and Ruby Bradbury with 40 deposits in 2018. In second place with 38 deposits, Christopher Bolton and Heidi Brenton, followed by Paddy Doolan, Brodie Baker and Jarrah Baker. They each received a choice of prize for outstanding achievement. Thank you to all the students, parents and carers who have supported school banking this year. Also a big thank you to Julie Clarke and Therese Cameron. I couldn’t do without my amazing help. Have a safe and merry Christmas. See you all back in 2019. Jane Richardson School Banking Coordinator
