Parents are welcome.

Principal’s Message:

Quote: “Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.”- William James.

Some points to note at this time of year: School starts at 9.00 am. In the last week there have been a significant number of students

running late to class. Missing the start of their day can have an impact on their education. Brimmed hats are available at the canteen as well as the uniform shop. Caps are not to be

brought to school. Students are encouraged to wear school uniform with pride both in and out of school.

Planning for 2019 is well underway and class teachers are starting to finalise student reports. Next Wednesday evening is our Presentation Night. This will be held at Senior Campus hall. If you are still in the grounds after 3.05pm please respect the school rules and have your child

abide by these. End of year school activities are a privilege, not a right, for students to attend. Many students

are looking forward to the fun!

Royal Far West School Holiday Camps

At Royal Far West, we understand the challenges many families face in trying to access disability supports for their children. That’s why, in January 2019, we will be holding two school holiday camps for children with Autism as part of our Windmill Program. The camps are for NDIS participants aged 10-12 years and are exclusively for children from rural and remote New South Wales. They will combine group therapy and supported recreation activities to build children’s social skills and confidence and provide an opportunity to try new activities in a safe and nurturing environment. Royal Far West will be subsidising the cost of these camps to minimise the financial burden on parents. Gemma Delaney, Recreation Manager, Health and Wellbeing W: royalfarwest.org.au P: 1800 500 061
