4 June 2018 Week 6, Term 2, 2018
FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: Dear Parents and Friends of Cawdor PS
A big thank you to the families who came along to the working bee on
Saturday. Thanks to your incredible efforts on a cold and windy day, we have
made excellent progress toward the completion of the Landcare project and
the front of the Admin building is looking fabulous. Thank you also to all of
the parents who have been supporting the school by helping in the canteen,
working in the classrooms and transporting children to sports events. Your
generosity in giving up your time to help with the students’ learning
programs is greatly appreciated.
In the past two weeks we have been very proud of the achievements of our
students and of the school spirit shown by the many students who have been
representing our school. Congratulations to our School Captain, Flinders
Crimmins, who received a Youth Recognition award for Academic Excellence
from Wollondilly North Rotary. Flinders is a wonderful role model to other
students by demonstrating an excellent work ethic and is a worthy recipient
of the award.
Last week I had the pleasure of accompanying four of our school leaders to a
student leadership conference at Wollongong University and was very
impressed with their level of involvement on the day. I was also very
pleased with the sportsmanship and level of participation shown by the cross
country team members and would like to congratulate all of our students for
their achievements in the Zone carnival.
In the newsletter today you ill find information on downloading the School
Stream App to your mobile device. We have begun using the App again as
another means of effectively communicating with
the school community. We will be sending out
regular notifications to parents so we encourage
you to get onboard and keep up to date with
school news!
Finally, a huge thank you to our enthusiastic and
dedicated staff who have been working hard to
meet the needs of all of our students and to
provide a nurturing learning environment.
Cawdor truly is a great school!
Kind Regards,
Ms Sharon Ihlein

NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME was celebrated with a very entertaining performance
by the Year 6 students. The students acted out the
story ‘Hickory, Dickory, Dash” which was the book selected for 2018 Simultaneous Storytime. Year 6
organised their costumes and props themselves, with
a little help from Ms Ihlein. All the staff and students
from Kinder to Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed the play.

Cawdor Zone Cross Country Report
Look at these winners! They all ran their little hearts out last Friday at the cross
country carnival. I took 20 of our best long distance runners to compete and they
can all be very proud of their efforts. I certainly am. There were over 90 competitors
from 25 different schools in each event. All Cawdor representatives completed the very difficult race. Our best result was in 10 year old girls with Autumn Crimmins
coming 16th. 1st across the line for Cawdor in other age groups was Caitlin Parker,
Hewson Crimmins, Anthony Di Natale, Jessica Lee, Noah Fitzgerald and Flinders
Crimmins. Well done!
Enrolments Enrolments are now being

Snippets of Cawdor’s History
Cawdor Public School was opened on 1st
June 1858 in premises leased from the
Wesleyan Church of Cawdor. At the end
of the year the number of students
enrolled totalled 46.
The first teacher in charge was Mr James
Humphreys who was a baker with a huge interest in arithmetic. Mr Baker retired
from teaching in 1883 and he was
succeeded at Cawdor by Mr John
Fletcher.
1858 was the year in Australia in which
the “Welcome Nugget” (gold) was found in
Victoria and Australian Rules football
was born!
