Gilgandra Public School - March 22

Grandparents’ Day

This year Gilgandra Public School welcomes everybody to celebrate our grandparents’ assembly next week. Parents/carers and grandparents will still need to sign into the school hall with the school check-in app and hand sanitise.

We look forward to seeing everybody.

Symphonia Jubilate Outback

Students who are well along the music learning path and those wishing to make a start are invited to learn about music making, join an ensemble, experiment with sound, sing, clap, move and play instruments.

The bush needs a beginner, intermediate and advanced youth orchestra which will strengthen bonds between young people, inspire excellence in music making and support those families who value and pursue music making.

Fundraising for flood affected schools

Through the Primary Principals’ Association, Gilgandra Public School will be partnered with a school on their way to recovery from flood affected NSW to support them by raising funds and to provide a hand in any way our school can.

The SRC have been busy organising a special lunch pack to be purchased by students, an out of uniform day and the sale of Easter eggs on the day of our Easter hat parade across the last week of school to support the fundraising efforts.

Certificate of Excellence

The Regional North and West School Performance Executive Director Lisa Muir has recognised every one of the 270 schools across the North-West Directorate with a Certificate of Excellence for their agility, clarity, enthusiasm, drive, and absolute dedication through the past two years of fires, floods, mouse plagues, droughts and COVID-19.

This spirit and unexpected strength have come from the courage, collegiality and resilience of students, parents, teachers, and principals across the North- West Directorate.

The award was presented at assembly on Friday to the school captains Sam Chandler and Skyla Carr and will be hung in the school foyer.
