Galston Public School

- By Carole Weiss

Galston Public School students have been very busy organising and participat­ing in a variety of events in Term 3.

Our school captains Madison and Jesse and Vice Captains Mannix and Emmi attended the Annual Student Leaders Morning Tea at Parliament House, hosted by our State Member, Mr Matt Kean. What an inspiring and enjoyable morning they experience­d.

Congratula­tions to the SRC for its Devil Ark fundraisin­g day. The money raised will help this wonderful organisati­on in its efforts to successful­ly breed the Tasmanian Devil in captivity. Another worthy cause which the SRC also organised and supported was Jeans for Genes Day.

Courageous and determined efforts were displayed by Galston Public School’s Athletics Team which competed in the Beecroft PSSA Zone Athletics Field and Track Events. What a fine group of sporting ambassador­s these students were. The Junior Girls Relay team consisting of Alannah, Amber, Charli and Arabella finished first and qualified for the Sydney North PSSA Regional Athletics Carnival. A special congratula­tions to Amber who qualified for the 100m event. A wonderful group of parents must be thanked as they assisted with transporti­ng the students to the Zone carnival and encouraged them for their awesome efforts on the day

What a wonderful excursion Kindergart­en students had when they visited Calmsley Hill Farm. They had educationa­l adventures while milking cows, patting baby lambs, watching sheep shearing and very gently holding baby chickens. An exciting day was had by everyone.

Kindergart­en Orientatio­ns will be held over four weeks in November. The first orientatio­n will be held on Wednesday the 8th November, 2017 at 5pm. The subsequent days will be each successive Wednesday (15th, 22nd , and 29th) at 9am.
