25.01.2022 Enjoy these happy moments of fun, laughter and learning together in K/1!

25.01.2022 Families, the DoE has provided further advice this morning that students and staff with flu like symptoms will now need to provide a copy of a negative COVID-19 test result before being permitted to return to school. The DoE has stated that parents are not to send children to school if they are unwell, even if they have the mildest flu-like symptoms. Schools must make arrangements for students who present as unwell or have flu like symptoms to be sent home. If a family member is unwell and has been tested for COVID-19, then your child must stay at home in isolation (away from school) until a negative COVID-19 test result is provided. Warmest regards, stay safe. Trev Xxx

23.01.2022 Hello Wallacia P.S Families, As Fathers Day approaches, this year the P&C would like to offer an alternative to our families to the Fathers Day stall to accommodate for the current climate and restrictions we need to adhere to, to keep our local community safe. The P&C are offering students of Wallacia Public School the choice of ordering a personalised glass or a mug. As one of our parents has donated their time in doing this, we have needed to keep the options limited (as... we are sure you can appreciate the time in which producing a product such as this could take) however, if an option provided has not met the needs of the student there will be an option for an extra special request. If this is the case, please pop your request down on the below note along with a phone number and we will try our best to accommodate their needs. The price of either a glass or mug personalised is $5 Make sure you complete the form with all your child's desired options and return with the correct money to the P&C orange box no later than Friday 21 August, 9am.

22.01.2022 21st Century Learning in 4/5/6V The 4Cs - Critical and Creative Thinking, Cooperation and Collaboration! We are getting ready to present our combined research to the class. We each researched one of the early explorers Vasco da Gama, Christopher Columbus or Ferdinand Magellan individually. We used technology to research our guiding questions and took notes of our findings. This requires us to use critical and creative thinking skills. We then each wrote a speech on our explo...rer which we presented to our class. We have now collaborated in cooperative groups to create posters about each of these explorers. Each group will present their collaborative research to the class. By collaborating and layering our learning we have gained deep understanding of historical inquiry skills and have presented our findings in a range of communication forms.

19.01.2022 Dear Parents, I thought I would get this out early so families can get their uniforms organised asap for next year. Our School Uniform provider, Cowan & Lewis, has let us know that the purchasing of school uniforms will be a little different due to the COVID 19 pandemic. They have to ensure the mandatory social distancing restrictions in their retail store which is located at 52 Cox Avenue, Kingswood, 2747. From the 13th October to 22nd December the purchase uniforms from the... shop will require an appointment. Appointments are to be made on the Cowan & Lewis website www.cowanlewis.com.au. Locate our school crest, click on the booking link and select the appropriate day and time. - Each appointment will have a 20 minute duration. - 1 Adult and 1 Child per booking - For each additional sibling a booking will be required - We ask that you arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment - If you arrive more than 5 minutes late to your appointment we will unfortunately ask that another time be made to ensure the next appointment is not delayed Alternatively online orders can be made and delivered to school during the school term. Please feel free to contact their staff via email [email protected] or phone 47217422 should you require any further information. See more

I want to give a huge shout out to Mrs Mullen who has been working hard behind the scenes and has successfully been able to get us some one-off funding to help cover the cost of the bus. Great job!!!!

11.01.2022 Families and Friends, How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean (from one of my favourite authors, Arthur C Clarke). You may notice that your child comes home with questions and insights about our oceans next week. This is because we are embracing the National Science Week theme: Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans. National Science Week is Australias annual celebration of science and technology. It gives us the opportunity to increase our understanding and engagement with ocean science and provides a further lens to interpret and enjoy the questions, beauty and meaning of life by.

10.01.2022 This week is Education Week, a celebration of NSW public education. The theme is 'Learning together', 4/5/6 always work together as a team.
