Term 4 Week 6

Yamba Public School

RESPECT: LEARN IT, EARN IT, SHOW IT.

Dear Parents, Super News!! River Robinson has returned to Yamba after competing in the State Spelling Bee, where he placed 4th in the

state. What a fantastic effort! We are all very proud of you River.

Year 6 are off on their annual excursion to Canberra next week. I know that the trip will be memorable for them all. Thank you to the Year 6 teachers, Mrs. Hogan and Mr. Paul for giving up a week with your own families to give Yamba students this opportunity. Have a great time everyone. What a fantastic response we

have had the introduction of sun

safe hats. A new supply of school

hats have been ordered and

should arrive at any time now.

Thank you to all families who have

supported the departmental policy

in sending your child to school in a

sunsafe (and where possible-

school) hat.

Diana Foley

YPS CHOIRS AND GUITARISTS

The Yamba Public School choirs and guitarists have been invited to sing and play at the Yamba River markets on Sunday, 27th of November. This is an event that I have hosted for the last 3 years and I'm thrilled that I will get to showcase our choirs as well as our guitarists this year. Please mark it on your calendar and if somebody could organise some perfect weather, that would be great .The Yamba Public School choirs and guitarists will be performing from 9:00-9:45 am.

Please try to turn up at the big green marquee in the centre of the markets a few minutes early. I will have lyric booklets on hand and a few spare guitars for those who forget their own.
