Message from Mrs Ellis

Celebration Days

Despite the wet weather yesterday, the Years 3-6 students had a great day at Blue Gum Lodge. Thank you Mrs Shaw for organising the day, the students had lots of fun swimming, playing indoor basketball and playing indoor games. The students in K-2 also had a fun celebration day back at school playing indoor games in the hall, outdoor water play with sponge throwing, water pistols and running through the sprinklers in the rain. They ended their day enjoying a movie with popcorn.

Thank you

As the 2020 school year ends today, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Blaxland Public School community for your tremendous support of the school throughout this year. As we all know, it has certainly been a year like no other and I hope that starting in 2021, we can have work together as a community to continually strengthen our school community connections. On behalf of the staff and students I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
