PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
CAROLS NIGHT - SAVE THE DATE
The bands , string ensembles, guitar groups and choirs will help us celebrate Christmas with our traditional carols night on FRIDAY 7 DECEMBER AT 6PM.
PRESENTATION DAYS
Each year Artarmon Public School have Presentation Day Assemblies. At these assemblies we honour the academic achievements of children from our school. Each class teacher has six medals to distribute. These include:
Two for High Academic Achievement, one for Mathematics, one for English, one for Citizenship and one for another Key Learning Area (KLA).
There are also grade awards for Overall Citizenship and ESL (English as a Second Language).
Teachers use results from class assessments, observations and collaborative discussions with the grade team and supervisor, to decide upon the award winners.
As you would appreciate, teachers take the presentation of achievement awards very seriously and spend many hours reviewing the data and in discussions to ensure the medals are given to deserving winners.

GOODBYE AND THANK YOU
During the year there are several editions of the local Artarmon Gazette. The local community has supported the school in many ways and that has included an article in each edition with news about the latest happenings at Artarmon Public School.
Jane Rowley has volunteered to do this job for the past 10 years and the next edition will be her last contribution.
I would like to acknowledge the work she has done and thank her sincerely for her support of our school community. Her articles have always reflected what is happening within our school - celebrations and challenges.
Thank you Jane
CHANGE OF SCHOOL COMMUNICATION APP AND WEBSITE
One of the major draw cards of moving to our new website with Schoolzine is all information and weekly Newsflash articles can be translated immediately using the inbuilt Google Translate function.
The current skoolbag app will no longer be used after this Friday and the new Schoolzine app will be introduced. This app is a product of the website design company, therefore, community messages and events are synced making it easier for the community to access information.
We will start using the new SZapp from the 19th November
To download the new Schoolzine app (SZapp) please follow the instructions attached.
