I’d also like to welcome Michelle Loui to Huskisson Public

School. Michelle joins us on staff from a large Sydney school

and Mrs LeAnn Hanson who was permanently appointed to

Huskisson Public School from Illaroo Rd Public School.

Finally I’d like to acknowledge the contribution of every single

student this year that together make up this great school –

Huskisson Public School.

As I often say – Stay Strong, Stay Smart

See all the award winners on the night on the following two pages.

STAFFING 2017

Our teaching staff will have some changes next year

Mrs Domazar has accepted a transfer to Nowra East Public

School. Staff, students and I am sure parents are aware

of the contribution Mrs Domazar has made to Huskisson

Public School over the more than twenty years of service

at the school. Mrs Domazar will be sorely missed, but

she feels it is time for new challenges in her career.

Mrs Maggie New returns from extended leave.

Mrs Kylie Wilson completes her temporary contract here at

Huskisson Public School. I thank Mrs Wilson for her

dedication and commitment to the students and the

school community whilst Mrs New has been on extend-

ed leave and wish her well in her professional career.

Miss Michelle Loui is our newest staff member after being

successful during the latest recruitment process. Miss

Loui joins us from Riverbank Public School.

Mrs Katerina Watson joins us from Jervis Bay School. She

was granted a temporary contract as a result of a recent

expression of interest held by the school.

Ms Adrienne Sue also joins us in our team as a recent

transfer from Nowra East Public School.

BOTTLE FLIPPING.

Today’s Bottle flipping raised enough money to purchase

through World Vision clean water, one goat and four

chooks.

Have a wonderful festive season!

Principal’s Message

As this is the last Husky Star for the year, I’d like to wish everybody

a safe and happy Christmas break.

On Tuesday night, despite the heat, our Presentation Night was

very successful. Staff all agree we need to look at shortening the

night, but we are very happy with the venue. It allows us to set up

and decorate the stage to fit the big occasion. Our thoughts are we

will have two sessions.

K – 2 session where Kindergarten to Year Two classes are

awarded their class and library awards. A break where drinks and food are available. Our P& C would also have the opportunity to run a fundraiser.

3 – 6 session

Parents of K – 2 students can make the decision to either leave or

join us for the 3 – 6 session that would include class and major

awards as well as the announcement of our new school leaders.

The plan would be for two 45 minute sessions.

PRINCIPAL’S SPEECH

Welcome to our annual Presentation Assembly. Tonight celebrates

a year of achievements and successes.

strong connections we have in our school and wider community.

We honour your presence here tonight -

VHS School Captains Beatrix Brady and Matthew Brown.

Mrs Lynne Arnold representing the Honourable Member for South

Coast Mrs Shelly Hancock. Lynne will present an award

and Debating Student’.

Miss Bonnie Marshall on behalf of State Member for Gilmore Mrs

Anne Sudmalis. Bonnie will present the Young Leaders Award.

Mr Bob Roach Mr John Mendola – Representatives of the

Tonight each teacher will present an academic excellence award to

the highest achieving academic student in their class. They will

receive a certificate and a book for their reading enjoyment.

Awards will also be presented for literacy, Numeracy, Citizenship

and encouragement or progress.

Tonight I have the privilege of presenting a certificate of

accreditation to Mr Ben Frost that recognises officially his

Proficiency as a teacher with the Board of Studies. Congratulations

Mr Frost. At this point I’d also like to acknowledge the work of all

my staff who together make a great team. Many of the

contributions are out of the goodness of their heart and

volunteered. I’d particularly like to thank all our newest teaching

staff who have value added to the school Ms Greta Lewis my new

AP, Miss Anna Roose and Mr Ben Frost.
