Boggabri Public School Newsletter

Issue 13 Term 3 – Week 3 Monday 3rd August 2020

Education Week Education Week (Monday 3 August – Friday 7 August) is an annual, state-wide event that celebrates public education in NSW with an emphasis on students, educators and the communities that support them. In Education Week 2020, the theme of ‘Learning together’ is aimed at capturing the vital role the local public school plays as the cornerstone of the local community where teachers, students, parents, carers and the general community gather to learn. Over the past year, the need to ‘learn together’ remotely has seen the local school become the epicentre of recovery and resilience from the threat of bushfires, floods and the COVID-19 pandemic. At Boggabri Public School, Education Week will be celebrated on Friday 7th August at 2:00pm with a special assembly to celebrate how the students at Boggabri Public School Learn Together. This will be live streamed via the BPS Official Facebook page. Relieving Principal Tess Lindsay said Education Week was the ideal opportunity for the school to reach out to our community and share its successes. “I love celebrating all things education, it is great to showcase the fantastic learning from the students at Boggabri Public School especially during learning from home. Well done to everybody’s efforts this year, I hope you enjoy the presentation on Friday.”
