Welcome to another awesome week at Broken Hill Public

School.

We are looking forward to the remainder of this term with lots

of exciting activities coming up. A reminder to keep an eye on

the term planner for events that may involve your child. Copies

of the term planner are available at the front office.

Presentation Day

Our school’s Presentation Day will be held this Friday, 1st

December at the Broken Hill High School Hall commencing at

12.30pm. I would encourage all families to come along to this

big event on our calendar to share in the success of our

students and school this year.

Could I ask that all students are well presented in their correct

school uniforms.

The children will be walking to the High School Hall at

approximately 12.00 noon. This is covered by the long term

permission note previously signed.

We will also be moving recess and lunch forward on

Presentation Day. Recess will be at 10.20am and finish at

10.40am and lunch will be 11.30am and finishing at 12.00pm.

Please be advised that the canteen will not be open on Friday.

Please ensure your child brings a packed recess and lunch on

Friday.
