Principal’s Report

This will be the final newsletter for 2011. May you all have a wonderful holiday season and come back in 2012 renewed and refreshed. All our students have progressed wonderfully in their learning and the many positive connections they have made with each other. I’m very grateful to the staff members of Ryde Public School. We have a great staff who constantly strive to provide successful learning opportunities for our students. I would like to take this opportunity to farewell staff members that will be leaving us this year. To Mr Glen McAnally who has been a Kindergarten teacher for a number of years at Ryde Public School I wish him every success in his new school for 2012. To Mr James Gurr who has been teaching SRO this term I thank you for the work you have completed with these students over such a relatively short time. To Ms Debbie Whang thank you for working as a teacher at Ryde Public School in a variety of classes. May you all take with you many great memories of being part of the staff at Ryde Public School.

Our community support, although a small group has consistently given support to the school and students in so many ways. I know the students appreciated the involvement of their families and the staff are always grateful for our community involvement.

Farewell Year 6, 2011

On Friday our class of 2011 will come to the end of the primary stage of their education. To many it will seem not that long ago that they will remember walking into what our junior section of the school was then. Our students have come a long way to be who they are today because being a student at Ryde Public School has given them many opportunities to strive for success and I know they are very grateful to their families and teachers.
