No Sign of Slowing down at
MSPS
Week 10 is usually the final
chapter of the term and year
but we still have a way to go.
I have finalised school reports
and applaud my staff on how well they know our
students and on the high quality of these records of
achievement throughout 2014.
My first Christmas pageant was a thrill on Saturday.
Broken Hill surely turns on a great community spirit
and support for the event and as a town the spectacle
is second to none. Congratulations to all participants
and a big thank you to Morgan Street parents who
dressed their children up once more to be on the
Morgie Float. Our wonderful display won an award for
Best Interactive Float. The Milne family must be
acknowledged for their time and effort on Saturday
and allowing Morgan Street to use their semi-trailer as
the float.
STAFF MOVEMENTS 2014
A parent query at the pageant reminded me to clarify
our staff changes. Teachers in NSW schools have
several ways to move within the system. Those who
come west to Broken Hill achieve a number of benefits
including “ incentive transfer points” which accumulate
much more quickly than other schools in the east of
NSW. The points assist them with rapid success when
they apply for vacant jobs. Miss Abberfield’s incentive
transfer is such a case. Having been here many years
her transfer points enabled her to secure a position at
Tintinhull Public School - a delightful small school in her
home community near Tamworth.
Merit selection is another pathway for teachers to gain
a position. In both Mrs Librando (Wagga North PS) and
Mr Tickle’s (Nabiac PS) cases they took the steps to be
asked to interview for permanent positions, an enviable
outcome being that they won those positions after the
process was completed and will now become
permanent employees.
PS My Apologies: in a previous newsletter I
acknowledged the MSPS awardees at the NSWPPA
Dinner. I missed one– congratulations go to Macy
Edgecumbe, a sport star of the future.

CHRISTMAS TRAIN CONCERT
Congratulations Morgies on an absolutely fantastic performance on
Thursday morning. Over 110 students and their families woke up
bright and early and came down to the Broken Hill Railway Station to
welcome the Indian Pacific Christmas Train into our city. Such
wonderful support and school pride!
The students sang beautifully and danced so well. They looked so
festive in their green and white uniforms and red Christmas hats.
A huge thank you to all children, parents, grandparents, teachers and
school community, who came down and supported this community
event. People were raving about our Christmas Carol and our
performance. Certainly a magic moment that our students will not
forget.
