Galston Public School students are presently enjoying a welldeserved Term 3 break. Prior to this term vacation many events occurred, especially the unforgettable Canberra/Snow excursion Years 5 and 6 had. Their experiences are now memories that they will hold in their hearts and minds forever. Their teachers, Mrs Pearce, Mrs Cansdale and Mr Finch were very proud indeed of their enthusiastic participation and outstanding behaviour with all the planned activities. As well these senior school students more than capably organised and held their annual Year 6 Mini Fete. They provided a fun day for all the other students and teachers.
Congratulations to Anna, Chase, Henry and Finn who qualified to participate in the Regional Premier’s Spelling Bee Final which was recently held at Hornsby North Public School. Anna reached Level 4 of this challenging competition and was indeed an exemplary representative of Galston Public School. An AWESOME effort.
Courageous and determined efforts were displayed by Galston Public School’s Athletics Team which competed in the Beecroft PSSA Zone Athletics Field and Track Events. What a fine group of sporting ambassadors these students were.
Last week K-2 students had an incursion to learn about ‘Responsible Pet Ownership’ and in particular, ‘A safe way to approach a dog’, ‘If you are approached by an angry dog’ and ‘How to Say Hello to dogs with their owners’.
What a wonderful excursion Stage 1 students had when they visited Longneck Lagoon. They had educational adventures in Dragonfly Creek, captured snails, and even little fish and scorpions. Following all the outdoor activities, microscopic investigations occurred in the indoor classroom. An exciting day was had by everyone.
