The list goes on and on!

We are very blessed at Barnier Public School, we have

passionate and dedicated staff who work hard to ensure that

every student achieves their very best and has daily opportunities

to learn and improve. Our students are respectful, kind and

caring. We have many generous and caring parents who

contribute their time and positive energy to our school.

Class Visits

Many thanks to all stage 2 classes! I loved my time in your

classrooms teaching you. Next term, I am really looking forward

to visiting all stage 3 classes. I am extremely grateful to Mrs

Housbey and Ms Moon. Thanks to their outstanding leadership,

organisational and management skills, I have been able to leave

the office and spend time in classrooms teaching students, which

is something I am very passionate about doing. I could not have

done this without their support and assistance. They are

superstars!

Head Lice

Unfortunately we have had some very unwelcome visitors in our

school! Dreaded head lice have been a bit of a problem recently.

I ask all parents to regularly check your children’s hair and treat

quickly and thoroughly. The following link will provide excellent

information on this very frustrating and distressing problem.

https://education.nsw.gov.au/student-wellbeing/health-and-physical-care/health-care-procedures/conditions/head-lice I thank all parents and carers for their support and cooperation.

Next term the canteen will have a new menu that contains lots of new healthy items.

Less healthy items will be replaced with items containing fresh, natural ingredients that will be prepared and cooked by our canteen staff on the premises.

There will be lots of healthy and delicious new foods that the students will love.

The new canteen menu is available to look at on the Barnier SkoolBag app, the school Facebook page and the school website. Feedback will be sought and gratefully received from students and parents as our wonderful canteen strives to provide an outstanding service to the Barnier school community. All students have received a hard copy of the menu this week.

Thank you, everyone, for an absolutely outstanding

productive and positive semester after the holidays.

I wish everyone a happy, safe and enjoyable school

Fairy Tale Day

On Wednesday 4th of July, Stage 1 students celebrated an end to

their fairy tales writing unit with Fairy Tales Day. Students and

teachers came dressed as their favourite fairy tale characters. It was

wonderful to see everyone participate in the day and to see a great

variety of costumes.

The day began with the whole stage watching a fairy tale movie. It

was very exciting to be in the hall watching a movie. It was like being

in a cinema at school!

This was followed by every class visiting different stage 1 classrooms

to read other students fairy tale narratives. Classes were able to

select their favourite pieces of writing from each class and to hand-out

awards.

Our day ended with a wonderful fairy tale assembly presented by 2S.

Thank you 2S for entertaining the stage with your wonderful singing

and dancing performances.

A big thank you to all the students on their wonderful effort throughout

the term. The teachers of stage 1 are very happy. Have a wonderful

holiday break.
