CPPS Sports News

Basketball

Our school has been able to put

together a school Basketball team for

this term. To the end of last term, we held trainings

for the players to improve their skills before the games

begin. We wish them all good luck for the season.

Sporting Schools Funding

We have been very fortunate to secure quite a

significant amount of funding this year through grant

applications for Sporting Schools for Soccer,

Gymnastics. This term again we have been able to

secure some funds to support the development of

Year 6 HAMILTON VISIT

Year six students walked to Hamilton Secondary School

on Tuesday 25th October for the first of their

transition visits. One group got to do science

experiments and a paper plane maths activity. The

other group made a back scratcher (they tell me it’s

actually a spatula!) in woodwork and then looked at the

world’s population in HASS.

“It was fun. Hamilton would be a good school and it is

really big.” Nicole, Y5

“It was fantastic. The wood spatula is perfect.” Azima,

BASKETBALL

Congratulations to all the basketball players on a great

win in the first game.. It was a very close game with the

score at half time (10, 6) Colonel Light Gardens were

winning but with a great talk from the coach we were

able to come back and win by 4 points, with the final

score (18, 14) our way . It was a great team effort.

Music: Count Us In exists to advocate for improved access to

music education for all students across Australia. The 2016 Program Song is ‘Let It Play‘. It was written by 4 students with the assistance of John Foreman OAM and Jay Laga’aia. MCUI culminates in Celebration day, to be held on Thursday 3 November 2016. The day is celebrated nationally where right across the country – all registered schools sing the same song, on the same day, at the same time.

Music: Count Us In has a dual purpose – it advocates for music education by promoting and celebrating its value and offers

resources and training to teachers to help them deliver music in the classroom.

What are the benefits of music education?

Decades of research shows that learning music can help students’ self-confidence, self-discipline and team work. It can help students engage in school, can improve school attendance and can even help students to make healthy life choices. There are also strong links between music learning and academic skills in literacy and numeracy. Research shows that music is unique in its flow-on benefits to students who learn it.

What will it look like at our school?

On Celebration Day, Thursday November 3rd the whole

school will gather in the gym to sing “Let it play” together.

The students spent time last term learning the song in

their Performing Arts lessons.

From 11.30am we will be screening the live streaming from

Sydney of the National Event and at 12pm Adelaide time

schools across the nation will be joining us in singing.

Two student from each class will be leading the singing at

the front of the gym and we are working on the possibility

of some of our ukulele students also playing.

If you would like to join us please come along from 11.30am on Thursday 3rd November!
