“Including Others”

School Concert

The children and teachers are very excited about the school concert on Thursday night. Every grade has been practicing their acts and I’m sure they will put on a fantastic performance on the night. The concert, which is being held at the Nathalia Community Centre, begins at 7.30pm and will run for about an hour. I’m looking forward to our school community coming together and enjoying the 2015 Nathalia Primary School Concert.

Fathers Day and Footy Colours Day

The Father’s Day breakfast was a great start to a special day at the school. The event was very well attended and the catering by the Parent’s Club was excellent. I’m sure the Dads enjoyed the gifts from their children that were purchased at the Father’s Day stall later in the day. The kids really got into the swing of things and loved wearing their favourite footy colours to school and participating in the footy themed activities. This was a fantastic day for our school community and I’m sure it was enjoyed by everyone who was able to attend.

Parent - Teacher Interviews

Parents who would like to meet with their child’s classroom teacher should contact the school to arrange a mutually convenient time for an interview. It is important that parents and teachers meet regularly and work together to enhance the educational outcomes for their children. Thanks, Chris McCallum—Principal
