Tooraweenah Public School - December 20, 2022

Happy Holidays

It is hard to believe that the 2022 school year is about to draw to a close. We are very sad to be farewelling our year six students, and wish them all the best for high school next year. Each of our year six students have all made a positive contribution to the school during their time here. After such a productive and busy year, I would like to wish our students, families, and the wider community, a wonderful and Happy Christmas and holiday period. School resumes in 2023 for all students on Tuesday, January 31.

Presentation Night and Year Six Farewell

Our combined presentation night and year six farewell, celebrated our student achievements for 2022. The location of the event at the Tooraweenah Showground, provided a wonderful scenic outdoor setting with views of the Warrumbungles. It was wonderful to have students, staff, and parents attend this event along with grandparents and special guests including Western Plains Director, Chris Jackson; Lester Thurston; Gilgandra Shire Mayor, Councillor Doug Batten; John Jenkin; Tanya Hutchison; Beverley Pike; Jeanette Cruickshank; Craig and Robin Dowsett; and Marie Jacobsen. Our school captain, Indiana Brown, did a wonderful job of being MC on the night.

Happy Packs for Euabalong West Public School

Our students have also been busy fundraising and creating “happy packs” for each of the 18 students at Euabalong West Public School which was affected by the recent flooding. The village of Euabalong, is still isolated from Lake Cargelligo and residents have to travel to Cobar for groceries and other supplies. We hope that our happy packs are able to lift the spirits of the school community in the lead up to Christmas.
