We are in the last fortnight of the school year and what a year it has been!

At our Junior Primary assembly last Friday, the SRC Representatives from each JP class recapped the events from this year which have been a highlight for them. These included:  Colour Fun Run, Excursion to see 'The Gruffalo', Sports Day, Excursion to the Hahndorf Farm Barn, Science Day, Incursion with Bugs and Slugs, Indonesian Day, Swimming, Peter Combe, Book Week Parade, visits from a Dental Hygienist and the Police, Outdoor Classroom Day and Music Count Us In.  I am certain that if we continued with highlights from our Primary and Senior students, we could fill the page.

In the coming fortnight there are a lot of events occurring either as preparation for the continuation of Primary School or as a rite of passage for graduation on to High School. We are part of the early transition to high school trial for South Australia so our end of year graduation will formally recognise both Year 6 and Year 7 students in this event. I am looking forward to recognising them all and celebrating at their ceremony and dinner next week. 

In the mean time, this week we have our End of Year Celebration on Thursday night which should be another fantastic event for everyone to come together to appreciate and celebrate all that is special at Pimpala Primary School.

At this stage we are waiting on HR before we can confirm class teachers and this process may not be final before before the end of the year, as there are many details which must be finalised before schools can confirm staffing.  We hope to send home a light newsletter next week with final details of staffing for 2020.

This time of the year is can be difficult for some students and families so please look after each other and keep in contact with the school if there is any support which can be provided.

Kind Regards
