Principal’s Report

Very quiet week this week. Our year 6 girls

undertook personal development lessons

with a nurse educator and our soccer team

played Tottenham; results for the game are

not available at time of writing.

Students are in class learning, having fun on

the playground and enjoying some beautiful

early winter weather.

If anyone can donate fruit now to the P & C

so they can make jam to sell at the Spring

Fair, we would appreciate it.

Life is good.

Enjoy the long weekend.

How can I go to the

Positive Behaviour for

Learning Shining Day

at the end of Term 2?

I need to collect 10 Merit

Awards before

Thursday 28th June, 2018.

START

I can get a merit award by: Collecting ten good eggs. Reading at home ten times. Attending excursions. 100% attendance each term. Representing the school in the community. Getting one from a teacher at assembly.

I can get a good egg for following the Positive Behaviour for Learning expectations:

All staff at Cobar Public School can hand out good eggs. Teachers are on a mission to

give out at least 20 good eggs

during the day, 5 each on play-

ground duty and to write up

merit award recipients on Sen-

tral.

SHINING DAY

Wear your Pjs or On-

sie”s to school!!

I can go to the Positive

Behaviour for Learning

Shining Day if I bring in my 10

merit awards to school on

Thursday 28th June for my

teacher to check.

Who Got

Spotted

this week?

Bridgette was spotted by

Ernie this week for asking

lots of questions and practising

examples till she understood

long multiplication.

Great job Bridgette!

Ronin Chandler

Ernie enjoys reading, so he was really

excited when he heard that Ronin was

working on his first novel. He popped

in to 1/2KP to hear Chapter One of

Ronin's epic masterpiece. Ernie was

really impressed that Ronin is working

on improving his writing skills at home.

Great work Ronin - Ernie can't wait

to hear Chapter Two!

Learne

r

Noah Armstrong

This week Ernie spotted Noah

Armstrong being respectful by

asking a teacher for help to open

the gate using delightful manners

and a big smile. Noah also held

the gate open for a mate. Ernie

commented that he is always super

impressed when he hears students

using their manners.

Congratulations
