Principal’s Message This is our last newsle er for the year and the last

newsle er I will write. A er many Husky Stars at

Huskisson Public School and newsle ers at other

schools, it’s me to hang up the pen or more accurately

the key board.

We have had a very full week with two major and

significant events happening.

YearSixFarewellWhat a successful and enjoyable night at the Huskisson

Bowling Club. Our Year 6 students dressed very smart for

the occasion and looked very grown up. Mr Vidler and

Mr Frost both congratulated the cohort on their posi ve

contribu on to the classroom this year and to the school

during their me at Huskisson Public School.

Both teachers emphasised what a pleasure the students

had been to teach and wished them well at their future

high schools. They par cularly stressed how important it

was for them to make decisions that would make a

posi ve contribu on to their growth and well‐being as

well as their school community.

My concluding speech asked them to be an ambassador

for themselves, their family and their school community.

I finished by saying Stay Strong, Stay Smart, look forward

“The future is yours to make”

A er the speeches and a great meal, Mr Williams led a

Barn Dance involving teachers and staff. It was great to

see all students not only par cipate, but enjoy

themselves. The evening ended with some high energy

dancing to disco and rock, before parents arrived to join

in the last dances for the night.

Thank you staff and parents who helped plan and

organise the highly successful night. I know the students

thoroughly enjoyed themselves and appreciated your

efforts and felt very valued.

Year6FinalAssemblyNext Tuesday we have our special assembly for Year 6.

Each student will receive a special presenta on and have

the opportunity to reflect on their me at Huskisson

Term 4 Week 9, 12 December 2019

Sydney Street, Huskisson NSW 2540

T 02 4441 5074 F 02 4441 6220 [email protected]

Public School. Each student will place a padlock which

has their name engraved on it, on the gate near the

sports shed. This tradi on started last year and will be a

feature each year at this special assembly.

AnnualPresentationAssemblyOur Annual Presenta on Assembly was a huge success.

I thank Vincen a High School for their generosity in

allowing us to use the hall without charge. The hall

allows us to set‐up the evening as a formal occasion and

reflect the importance of the occasion.

The evening recognised the special talents and

a ributes of many our students. Behind each award

was a long process of each teacher deciding who they

would finally choose for the award. Each teacher when

presen ng their awards, emphasised they had so many

students worthy of the awards, but had to make that

final difficult decision. This is a problem we like to have.

It means our standards and expecta ons are high and

the students receiving the awards fully deserve them.

Congratula ons to all our award recipients.

The night concluded with the announcement of our

Captains and Vice Captains for 2020. Congratula ons to

Evie G – Captain

Jake D – Captain

Keshna B – Vice Captain

Ashley F – Vice Captain

Both staff and students look forward to your leadership

next year. You are all very worthy of your elected

leadership role.

Our current leadership team addressed the large audience

and spoke of their enjoyment and rewarding experiences

as Captains and Vice Captains this year.

On behalf of all staff congratula ons; Kymmie, Daniel,

Kelly and Hayden your efforts have been highly valued. I

look forward to hearing about your leadership

achievements in high school.

The night was very special to me, as it was my last

Presenta on Assembly and my last opportunity to address

a large sec on of the school community.

In my address I spoke of my re rement as a new phase in

my life and an opportunity to reinvent myself

I felt very valued on the night and very special. I received

many compliments and a special performance from the

Infants students who sang a beau ful song about how

they would like me to stay. Each primary class presented

me with a book of poems about my me as Principal and

some of the special moments they remembered. When

reading them I laughed, cried and felt very humble.

My biggest achievement of the night was not going to

tears, especially during my response speech. I turned to

the Infants a er their performance and said “That’s what

I’m going to miss” “I turned to the primary classes while

holding up the book of poems and said “This is what I’m

going to miss”. “This is why I chose teaching”.

I feel very privileged to be re ring from a posi on I s ll

love. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to

make a difference to lives of so many students. I feel very

privileged that many of those students s ll come up to me

as teenagers, young adults, parents, tradies and

professionals to talk to me about how much they enjoyed

having me as their teacher, Deputy Principal or Principal. I

feel very privileged to re re as Principal of Huskisson

Public School. Beau ful students, amazing staff and a

suppor ve, caring school community.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I have memories that I

will cherish forever.

My final words, for my final newsle er Stay Strong, Stay

Smart

HUSKY STAR NEWSLETTER TEXT

3 successful years of Primary Ethics classes at Husky Public

This week marks the third full year that Primary Ethics classes have been happening at Husky Public. Thanks

to Glenn and the staff for helping us to facilitate classes for those students not a ending Scripture on Thurs‐

day. Congratula ons to our volunteer teachers – Julie, Sherry, Ian and Nicky and we are thrilled to welcome

Anne e Cape to the team as a volunteer teacher in Term 1 next year. This means that we will be able to re‐

commence ethics classes for Kindergarten students in 2020, a er not having enough volunteer teachers in

2019.

Ethics classes support the children to develop the skills of cri cal thinking. Students are learning to view ethi‐

cal issues from different angles, carefully listen to what others have to say, respec ully disagree with others if

their opinion differs, build on the ideas of other students and be able to reasonably support their argument.

If you are interested in enrolling your child in ethics classes, please contact the school office. For more infor‐ma on about Primary Ethics, or if you want to do something life‐changing in 2020 by becoming a volunteer ethics teacher yourself, please visit: www.primaryethics.com.au or feel free to contact me on 0413 623 383.

Gabe Hart Volunteer Ethics Coordinator at Huskisson Public School
