NSW PSSA CHAMPIONS!

History has been made! Congratulations to Mr. Beard and the team of girls who have worked so hard this year, playing numerous matches in the NSW PSSA State Knock-out competition, and ultimately making it to the finals in Bathurst yesterday to claim the championship.

This is an incredible achievement, and one to be immensely proud of.

As principal, I couldn't have been prouder watching these amazing young women play together, showing such strong support for one another while playing some truly exceptional cricket.

In the final match against Kempsey East PS, our girls batted first, posting an impressive score of 0/176 off 25 overs. Our team then bowled Kempsey East out for just 28 runs in 11 overs. An outstanding result!

A huge thank you to the parents and Mr. Beard for their tireless work in organizing and travelling with the team throughout the season to make this victory possible.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

What a fantastic experience it was to spend Friday dancing around, spraying colour on all of your children for a few hours. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter as they came through the rainbow tunnel was simply priceless. Thank you to our entire school community for generously contributing to raise funds for new classroom technology and learning resources. The total amount raised was $30,500

A special thank you as well to all the parents who came to watch, take photos, and share them with the school. Some of these beautiful moments have been featured in the gallery below.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Wong, Ms. Harrison, Ms. Choi, and Ms. Schmidt for their hard work in planning, organizing, and executing this event. There was so much behind-the-scenes effort involved, and I truly can't thank them enough.

REMEMBRANCE DAY ASSEMBLY

Last week, our school gathered for a special Remembrance Day assembly to pause and reflect on those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The service was thoughtfully planned and led by our student leaders, who did an outstanding job guiding the school through a meaningful time of reflection and remembrance.

KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION

We also held our third Kindergarten orientation session last week for our newest members of Artarmon, and it was wonderful to see them settling in and excited to start Big School in 2025. A big thank you to our amazing parent community for supporting the new parents with uniform guidance and for providing assistance through our multicultural community members, offering help with questions and translations. It’s heartwarming to witness how we always come together to support one another. Thank you!

NEW PERMANENT POSITION

Congratulations to Mr Beard who was successful in gaining a permanent classroom teacher position at Artarmon PS.
