There’s a sad little ticking…

After four years of laughing, crying, learning and growing together,

this is my last Rosebank newsletter. I will always cherish the time I have

spent in your beautiful community. It has been a privilege to work with

your children. I have watched them grow as engaged learners who

care deeply about their school and one another.

My deepest and most heartfelt thanks go to Nicky, who has worked

alongside me on our beautiful work. We are a great team and I’ll miss

her very much. Thank you to Olly, who creates musical magic like no

one else. Our students are so lucky to have such superb guidance in

The Arts. Thank you to Kim, true Rosebank Royalty, for teaching me

how to be a NSW principal and for supporting me to keep our school

ticking along nicely. Thank you to Jen, whose organizational skills are

legendary, as is her warm heart. Thank you to all the teachers (Josh,

Mim, Michelle, Alycia) support staff (Helen) and others (Ken, Julie,

Bob, Barb) who have worked to make our school so special.

Thank you to all the parents who have supported our school so that

the children here have all the opportunities available to their city

cousins…and then some. Most importantly, thank you to the beautiful

Rosebank children who make teaching the very best job in the world.

I will miss you all and look forward to returning for the Year 6

Graduation in December.

Blessings, Abigail

UP, UP AND AWAY

What a way to end our term and our time together! On

Wednesday, the Soccer Squad and their super supporters

head off to Sydney ready to compete in the Finals of the Small

Schools Soccer Knockout this Thursday. We are all VERY

excited.

The plan is that those flying out of Ballina today will meet at the

airport, where Mrs Hughes has all the boarding passes (copies

will also be sent home tomorrow). Mrs Hughes will fly out with

those on that flight and meet Ms Sawyer in Sydney at the

airport, where all those on the flight will be bussed out to our

dinner venue, JAZZBEH restaurant.

Any students who have arrived in Sydney under their own

steam (plane, train or automobile) should meet us at the

restaurant for our dinner OR come to the grounds after dinner

(around 8.30pm). Ms Sawyer will buy the dinner on her

corporate card and then invoice the cost to each family later.

All we need to know is how many to expect, and Jen is working

on that checking in with each family. More info in the note

going home today, which must be signed and returned

tomorrow.

For those NOT going to Sydney, school is on as usual (only

better!) The stayers can wear MUFTI on the last Friday of term,

when they will have a big morning of cooking before a FREE

lunch feast. No need to send in any lunch Friday, just some

morning tea.

Abigail, Nicky, Oliver, Kim and Jen (Rosebank Team)

We respectfully acknowledge the Elders past and present of

the Wijabul Wiyabul people and other peoples of the

Bunjalung Nation. They are the first peoples of this land,

which has long been a place of learning for Aboriginal people.

IT’S HAPPENING!

Thank you Layla! Thanks to Layla’s

persistence, Davey Mac (aka Teazer)

rocked up to Rosebank on Monday to

meet with the graffiti crew – 12 students

who have put their hand up to work with

Davey to design a mural for our school’s

weather shed. Davey was thrilled with

the creative ideas our children came up

with as part of his process for the mural’s

design.
