FROM THE DESK OF OUR PRINCIPAL

Welcome to Week 7 of Term 4.

Giinagay, Hello

Welcome to Week 7 of Term 4.

Thank you to all our students and staff for your ongoing cooperation as we settled back into school last week. Many activities

and breaks were reorganised to indoors whilst we monitored the smoke in the air.

Tomorrow is our final 2020 Kindergarten Orientation session with a Teddy Bears Picnic organised.

Non and weak swimmers in Years 2—4 have been participating in the NSW DET Special Swimming Scheme and have been

travelling to Sawtell Public Swimming Pool to participate. Thank you to Mr Ferguson for organising this and to the attending

teachers who supervise.

Teachers are currently commencing report writing and organising the many activities which occur as part of the end of the

school year.

Mrs Koufis is leading a review and update of the Wellbeing Policy, you are invited to provide input this Friday at 2:30 pm in the

library.

Have a great week.

Giinagay Tyalla Community,

I am Becky Bursle. I have a long history at Tyalla which began when I was a

student here in Year 6. In 2002, I was fortunate enough to return as a teacher

and I am now in my 18th year teaching at our wonderful school.

Being a teacher is really rewarding. I love having a positive impact on the lives

of our students. I have always believed that people learn best when they are

having fun in an inviting and friendly environment and so I endeavour to create

a classroom where everyone feels safe to share and where we all respect each

other. I have an amazing 3/4 class this year who are super learners.

At home I am surrounded by boys! Will, Riley and Leo are my three awesome

kids and we have a big, beautiful, boof headed dog who they named Loki. After

school and on the weekends we enjoy swimming, taking Loki for walks, riding

bikes and scooters, playing tips or hide and seek, listening to music and

dancing. We also love snuggling together and watching movies. My boys give

me lots of reasons to smile and I love being their mum more than anything

else.
