Tomerong Public School

Dear Parents and Carers,

Kindergarten Enrolments 2022

A reminder that we are accepting enrolments for Kindergarten 2022, so if you are intending to enrol and haven’t yet done so, please make contact with our school on 4443 4376. If you know of others who are intending to enrol, please spread the word. For those families who live locally and have already received their enrolment package, we request that you complete the forms contained within and return them to school at your earliest convenience. Your child’s identification and immunisation documents are also required to commence enrolment. If you reside within the school drawing zone and have not yet received an enrolment package, please contact our office staff to arrange to have one sent out. 

Athletics Carnival

Mr Munn has been very busy recently, assisting classes to complete their athletics events. This has meant that Miss Salmon has spent increased time teaching 5-6M over the past week.

News from yesterday’s PSSA meeting is that the district athletics carnival is set to proceed next Thursday, 5 and Friday 6 August. Current restrictions dictate that, unfortunately, parents will not be able to attend and schools will be supplying additional staff to assist with events at the carnival.

A permission note will be sent home in coming days for students who are eligible to participate and we will obviously pass on any information as soon as it comes to hand.

Thank you for your patience in this changing landscape. 

Have a great week!

Rod White

Principal

Athletics

It has been great to see our students really getting into their athletics events at school. It appears that they are feeding off the Olympic energy that’s currently permeating the country. I would like to thank all the teachers who have helped run the field events over the past few weeks. Our Year 6 students have also been an amazing asset and your help in organising the athletics equipment and assisting teachers in running the various events is also much appreciated.

District Athletics Carnival

The Shoalhaven District Athletics Carnival will be held on Thursday 5 August for high jump, long jump and 1500m and Friday 6 August for 100m, 200m, 800m running events, shot put and discus.

Students who qualified for the District carnival will receive their permission note and carnival program this Friday. This note will need to be returned to the school office by next Tuesday, 3 August.

Please note that this is a non-spectator event in accordance with NSW Health Department COVID guidelines. Due to COVID restrictions, there will be no canteen on the day.

Parents will need to organise private transport to and from the event for their child/children. A staff member will meet the students competing at the front of the venue. The children will then be taken to the front of the venue (same spot) for pick up.

Tomerong staff will have the school mobile phone to help facilitate the pick-up and drop-off of our students. Please see Mr Munn if you have any questions. This is the first time our school has participated in the new district format and we hope the children have a great meet.

Mr Munn
