LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Message from the Relieving
Principal
Well the end is near but we are still
very very busy leading up to the end of
2014. Please keep an eye on the school
app for dates and times of events in
the next 8 days.
***Very Important***
Are you leaving Casula PS at the end
of the year? Or going on holidays at
the start of 2015? Please let the
school office know this week!
Farewell Mrs Weatherby
At the end of 2014 we sadly say
farewell to Mrs Weatherby. Mrs
Weatherby was appointed to Casula PS
in 1995 as an ESL teacher. During her
time at Casula, Mrs Weatherby has
worked with a wide range of students
who have had little or no English. She
has cared for the students and their
families and shown great warmth in
welcoming these students to our
school. The students still come back to
Casula and visit Mrs Weatherby. She
will be remembered as a hard working,
caring, generous teacher. We wish her
well for her retirement!
Farewell Miss Smith and Miss
Amargianitakis
We sadly say goodbye to two of our
great classroom teachers at the end
of the year – Miss Smith and Miss
Amargianitakis. Both teachers have
been at Casula for 5 years. We will
miss you both very much thank you for
your hard work and dedication to the
students at Casula! We wish you every
success at your new schools.
Guitar Group
I would like to send my congratulations
to all students that participated in
guitar lessons this year. The learning
that has occurred is a credit to you.
Thanks also to Kit, the guitar teacher
for all his hard work.
OC Orientation
Last week we welcomed new students
to our school that will be in the OC
class in 2015. We have 7 students
from Casula who will be in the class
next year. This is the largest number
we have ever had. We are extremely
proud!

Last Friday Mrs Valensise escorted
our school leaders and their parents to

leadership skills.

Kazi Hasan – National Champion!
Last week we welcomed back Kazi
Hasan from the National Athletics
held in Tasmania. This running
superstar won 4 gold medals – 100m,
200m, 4x100m relay and 4x200m
relay. He has never had any formal
athletics training, only in the past 6
weeks! We are so proud of you! You
are a shining example to others – you
are humble and hard working! You are
our star and we look forward to
hearing great things about you in the
future. See the following pages for
the photos of our great celebration.
2015 School Plan
Our teachers and leadership team are
currently in the process of planning
for our school for the following three
years. Thank you to the parents that
have returned surveys.
Part of the process is consultation
with our parent community. Early next
year, we will be presenting a parent
workshop to gain your feedback and
input. Look out for the date!
Footsteps Disco
We had a fantastic evening last
Wednesday when Footsteps Dance
hosted a celebration disco. All
students had a great time! Thank you
to the Year 6 teachers for their
organisation of the night. It was a
great fundraiser as Year 6 are looking
at purchasing some new signage for
the school hall.
Congratulations Mrs McAlister
Mrs McAlister and her husband Dane
are expecting a baby in May 2015.
Congratulations, we are so happy for
you both!
Christmas Raffle
Please remember to keep selling raffle
tickets for the P&C Christmas Raffle.
The raffle will be drawn this Thursday
at the K-2 Presentation Day. There
are fantastic prizes to be won
including a Sydney Harbour Bridge
climb. Good Luck!
Enjoy this week. I will send an end of
year letter next week,
Mrs Diamond

Casula's Wiz Kids
As part of our Gifted and
Talented program, a number of
students in Year 5 and 6 have been
taking part in a technology group
looking specifically at coding. The
students travel to Casula High
School each Wednesday to work
with Mr Fantasia on coding and
programming lessons. The students
are really enjoying the lessons and
are gaining the knowledge and
skills required to one day write
their own software or develop
their own apps. Thank you to
Casula High for generously
supplying Mr Fantasia to guide the
students and paying the program
subscription fee for all the
students as well.

books to the library. There will be a
prize for the first class to return all
books!!!
