Dear Wyong PS Families,
It’s been a truly rewarding few weeks at Wyong Public School. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible dedication of our staff, who continue to go above and beyond to create calm, engaging, and supportive classrooms. We’re seeing noticeable improvements in student behaviour and a strong, consistent focus on learning across the school. It’s clear that our collective efforts are making a real difference, and I couldn’t be prouder of our school community.
🐶 Pet Therapy – Starting Next Week
We’re pleased to announce that Doggie Dates will commence their pet therapy program at our school from next Wednesday. Sessions will run for an hour during the middle session and will be targeted to selected students. All therapy dogs are fully trained and certified, and the Department of Education risk assessment has been completed.
If your child has allergies or a fear of dogs, please notify the school office as soon as possible so we can make any necessary adjustments.
🗣️ ES1 Public Speaking Finals
It was a pleasure to adjudicate the Early Stage 1 Public Speaking Finals alongside Mrs Marler. The students presented a fantastic variety of topics and demonstrated impressive confidence speaking in front of their peers, families, and staff. A big congratulations to all participants!
🎉 Education Week Showcase
What a wonderful celebration of learning and talent at our Education Week Showcase! We were incredibly proud of the diverse performances from our students, including our choir, dancers, and Aboriginal performers. Thank you to the staff who supported the event and a huge shout-out to the parents and community members who joined us. It’s always inspiring to see our students rise to the occasion with such enthusiasm and pride.
