York Public School YABBER Evan Street, South Penrith Phone: 4731 6577 Fax: 4721 7522 Email: [email protected] Website: www.york-p.schools.nsw.edu.au Find us on Facebook – York Public School From the Principal 4th August, 2016 I would like to begin the Yabber with a special thank you to all the parents and extended York Public School community. Your support and encouragement enables us and your children to continually strive for excellence. This support was highly evident on Wednesday as many parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles flocked to the school to observe the learning practices in our classrooms for Open Day. The positive feedback from parents and the smiles on the children’s faces as they showcased their work was priceless. I would like to thank all the teachers and the students for showcasing our school so well. Over the last two weeks we have had a couple of significant sporting achievements from students here at York. Congratulations to Sydney Robin (6E) who represented Sydney West in netball at Albury last week. After three long days of netball Sydney was selected in the NSW PSSA State Netball Team. Sydney will now go off and represent NSW in Melbourne later this term. Congratulations Sydney! Congratulations to our under 10’s rugby league team who won the NSW All Schools Carnival on Monday 1st August. The pride and determination you showed throughout the competition was exceptional. As you are all aware, this term will see changes in the operation of the school management system. Mrs Byrne and Mrs Berry are busy training for the new system which will take effect later this term.
