FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

CANTEEN CLOSURE

Unfortunately, today will be the final day of operation for our P&C School Canteen for Term 1 while tender processes take place to find a new canteen operator. The canteen will also be closed at the beginning of Term 2 while the tender process is finalised. We anticipate the canteen will recommence from Monday 27 May 2024 (pending a successful tender).

I would like to express a huge thank you to our P&C and their team of staff and volunteers who have successfully run the school canteen for many years, providing a wonderful service to our school community.

North West Swimming Carnival Success

On Monday 11 March, Tamworth Public School had a number of students participating in the North West Swimming carnival in Armidale. In what was a 'Four seasons in one day' climate, our swimmers did exceptionally well, with our Junior Girls, Senior Girls and Senior Boys relay teams making it through to the State Championships, which will be held in Sydney at the end of term. A number of swimmers made the North West Team in individual events as well. Congratulations to all participants and good luck in Sydney for our North West Swimmers.

NAPLAN

Year 3 and Year 5 students have been participating in NAPLAN assessments this week. So far, our students have completed their writing, reading and language conventions assessments with numeracy still to come. There will be some scheduled catch-up days for students who have been absent during testing periods and these will take place early next week. We are very proud of all the students and their application and attitude towards NAPLAN this year.

MAJOR EXCURSIONS

Expression of interest (EOI) notes have been sent out via School Bytes this week for our Year 4/5/6 major excursions. Please be aware that there are limited spaces available on these excursions due to transport and accommodation places. Please read the information carefully and remember to return the EOI form with the deposit to secure your child's spot. We look forward to providing some wonderful experiences for our students on these trips.
