This is the final Newsletter for the year and the last from this Principal. The new Principal Mr Eamonn Moore visited the school on Monday and was given a tour of the school meeting students and staff.

A big thank you to all those who volunteered to manage the BBQ at the Camp Draft in support of the Community Council fund raising. Also to those members of the community who have purchased tickets in the Community Council 2019 Fundraiser Raffle of $2000 Hello World Travel Voucher and Fuel vouchers. Tickets may still be purchased at the doors to the School Hall before the Awards Presentations on Monday 16^th December at 6.00pm. The Raffle will be drawn at the end of the ceremony. The Community Council paid for the Primary Campus Cola and has the funds for the Secondary Campus Cola that is currently going through the approval process at Council.

I take this opportunity to thank the people of the Tumut Region for making Joanne and myself welcome in their community. We have made valued friendships and cherished memories. You have a beautiful valley and these 8 years are the longest stay in one place in our married life. We are moving to Canberra where we have two children and one grandson. I am returning to the classroom teaching Years 10, 11 & 12 Religious Education. Just in case we decide on this location to retire, we have decided not to sell our house.

Remember,
