We knew our children's participation this year was a success, but just how successful they were was a lovely surprise to all of us! Ms Anne Marie Keleher, Manager of the NSW MS Society, visited our assembly to congratulate the students on two outstanding achievements.:

Of 1500 NSW schools participating, Neutral Bay came first (in its size category) for:

   Number of books read  - 1737 books
   Highest percentage participation - 81 students

For each of these achievements, we received a fantastic set of reference books for our library, donated by Readers' Digest. In addition, the school received a prize of $1000 donated by the Commonwealth Bank, which was presented by Mr Peter George of the Neutral Bay branch. Fantastic effort, NBPS !

We would like to offer congratulations to six of our students who achieved outstanding individual results:

Our top three readers were:
  Charisse Goode 5EC 68 books
  Madeleine Perkins 3L 55 books
  Hannah Humphrey 50 books

Three of our students were invited to a special Read-a-thon presentation to recognise the Top 100 Fundraisers in NSW:
  Tom Nichols 1H
  Travis Cornell 6/5J
  Harry Cameron 5E

The boys received their awards from the Hon. John Aquilina, Minister for Education and Training, and the President of the MS Society. Well done, boys!

Congratulations to each and every student who participated in this worthy cause! Susan Cornell
