We hope they have a great first week at school and enjoy their time here!

We started the term off with School Photos, and then we had a Bring your Tea to School night - On Friday 31st October.

It’s a great chance to come together, meet some of our new families/students, have a look around the classrooms, check out what we’ve been up to and catch-up with the teachers.

We had some questions up in Room 4 seeking feedback for the school’s strategic planning.

Our pool is officially open! A big thanks to Mike our caretaker for the work he has done in getting this ready for the season ahead!

Keys for this season are $100. Keys are available for school families and the wider Wallacetown Community, these are available from Annie at the office. Annie is in the office 8:30-12:30pm Monday – Friday.

The classes have enjoyed getting over to the pool for swimming. School Swimming lessons happen with REAP in week 6, so that is something they always look forward to!

In week 5 we had our ‘horse’ themed mufti day as we collected donations to support RDA in Otatara. Thank you for your generous donations we raised $114.50.

Our Jubilee Committee has had its last official meeting late October, and we would like to acknowledge and thank the team for their work over the past 18 months.

We would like to thank them for their generous contributions, both in funding some of our recent school events such as the buses for the ‘Sing Out’ dress rehearsal, for some new games and equipment for our Before/After School Care Programme and for the donation they have made back to the school.

 Pet Day – Friday 5th December – This is a very popular event at school, and the children and teachers are looking forward to the day, where the children get to show off their pets with their friends!

Hopefully we’ll see plenty of family members there on the afternoon, to watch our grand parade.

That’s a wrap from us at Wallacetown School for 2025.

We are looking forward to farewelling our year 6 class at their Graduation dinner on the Wednesday 10^th December, and then following that, we have our School Prize Giving Breakup on the Thursday 11 December at the Wallacetown Community Centre, so hope to see you there!

Merry Christmas, and we will see you in 2026 …First day of school is the Thursday 29^th January 2026.
