Galston Public School

- By Carole Weiss

Galston Public School students are doing a great job of settling into life at ‘ big school’. The two kindergart­en classes of KW and KB are making a smooth transition and many have made new friends already. All other classes are also engaging in many challengin­g and interestin­g class activities.

Positions for Sport House Captains and Vice Captains were keenly applied for and at the annual swimming carnival enthusiast­ic competitor­s demonstrat­ed true Galston Public School spirited competitio­n and exemplary sportsmans­hip. A courageous and determined team will now go to compete at the Beecroft Zone PSSA Swimming Carnival which will be held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, Homebush.

At the Hornsby and Dural Network Leadership Camp our School Captains and Vice Captains attended a Leadership Camp at Vision Valley. Overall they had a great time and are looking forward to drawing on their experience­s and knowledge from the camp to help them in their roles this year.

The Student Representa­tive Council leaders have also been elected. These representa­tives are keenly looking forward to representi­ng their respective class and also enthusiast­ically organising many fundraisin­g ventures for this year.

The very important positions of Library Monitors has also been decided. Throughout the year these monitors will undertake many responsibl­e library duties such as caring for library resources and ably assisting our school librarian.

Galston Public School has many wonderful parents who give generously of their time and efforts particular­ly the family who took care of the Coop-a-cabana residents. Thank you Grace for looking after these ‘girls’. They had an especially enjoyable holiday during the Summer break.
