Dear Parents and Carers, What a great Education Week we had at Bargo Public School. Aboriginal Education Performance All students were treated to a very lively and interactive display of Aboriginal culture from Troy Allen of the Bundjalong Nation (East Coast) people.

Congratulations to the students for the way they competed and encouraged each other during the day. I witnessed various examples of students being great sports at all the events. Well done to all for trying their best and to those who were successful in gaining a position on the team to represent Bargo PS at the Razorback Regional Carnival.

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for

the next week or so and will be sent

directly to your child’s classroom.

FIND YOUR TREASURE BOOK PARADE

We will be celebrating Book Week during

week 6 and will be having a fancy-dress book

parade on Friday 31 August.

The theme this year is: ‘Find your Treasure’,

so we’ll look forward to seeing plenty of

swash buckling pirates!

Parents are invited to attend the parade,

which will be held at 2.30pm on the netball

court, or, in the event of wet weather, down

at the hall.

We look forward to seeing you!
