Principal’s Greetings<br />
The Book Fair is up and running in the library. Classes have been going through the<br />
library and students have prepared "wish lists". The Book Fair is a great fundraiser for our<br />
school and a fantastic opportunity for us to get our hands on some high quality<br />
children's literature.<br />
Tuesday afternoon we had a fire alarm. This was not a drill, however it did turn out to be the<br />
result of a fault in the system. The fault has been isolated and will be rectified as soon as<br />
possible. I would like to commend the staff and students for the calm manner in which they<br />
moved though the fire drill procedure. Everyone was accounted for very efficiently, even the fire<br />
men were impressed.<br />
We have received news that the irrigation system on the oval is to be completely<br />
upgraded. The old water cannons have given 30 years of service but increasingly have begun to<br />
break down. <strong>School</strong> council identified this issue last year and sought quotes for the work. The<br />
works were significant as would the cost have been. Through an application to DET NT<br />
Infrastructure we have been successful in having the project managed and funded externally<br />
through the Minor New Works Program. This means our oval won't go brown in the dry season<br />
and represents a significant saving for council.<br />
Have a great Weekend<br />

Last year <strong>Nhulunbuy</strong> <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
nominated to participate in an Early<br />
Childhood pilot and we have been successful.<br />
This means our Transition teachers along<br />
with six other schools in the <strong>Territory</strong> will be<br />
supported to work with both the Australian<br />
Curriculum and the Early years Learning<br />
Framework. Great work!!!!<br />
