Premier visits Woy Woy school

NSW Premier Mr Morris Iemma visited Woy Woy Public School on August 9, in recognition of the school's achievement in the Premier's Reading Challenge.

Principal Ms Ona Buckley said: "He was well greeted by our school leaders and the entire school loved saying hello to the permier as he shook hands, 'high-fived' and spoke to many of our students, as he walked along the guard of honour they had made on the way to the school library."

Ms Buckley said Mr Iemma presented the school with a box of books and congratulated the students on being the State champions in the Premier's Reading Challenge last year.

"He read to some of our Year 1 students," Ms Buckley said.

"They listened to the books on the Premier's Reading Challenge list.

"He met with some of our parents who had come ready to pick up their children at home time and when the students were released at home time he had many requests for autographs."
