Principal’s Report

Another busy week!

Congratulations to the girls who travelled to Dubbo for Netball with

Mrs Carter on Wednesday. You should be very proud of your

achievements, three wins and one loss! The commitment towards your

training has paid off. Thank you to Mrs Carter for being a wonderful

coach and organising travel. We appreciate and thank the parents who

provided transport for the girls.

All the students in 5/6B were given a letter stating that Mr Holt will be

their teacher for the remainder of the year commencing week 6. We

thank Mrs Mitchell for your hard work this term. The students have

enjoyed working with you as have the teachers in Zinc Team. It has

been lovely having you back at our school. Mr Holt is looking

forward to working with the students and parents in 5/6B. 5/6MH

students are pleased that Mr Holt will still be next door. I have

enjoyed working with Mr Holt this semester and thank him for his

support and commitment.

Mr Harvey, Mrs Harvey, Mrs Fennamore, Mrs H Knight and Mr Finn

are in Sydney visiting Lomandra School for professional learning.

Lomandra School caters for students in Year 5 to Year 12 with severe

challenging behaviours and/or emotional disturbances.

Mrs Lee and Mrs S Knight are currently in Dubbo for Early Action for

Success training. The information from this professional learning ex-

perience will provide further strategies for teachers to implement in

numeracy and literacy.

Thank you to all our staff for always ensuring that our students are

provided with opportunities to be included in as many learning and

fun activities as possible. Yesterday was a fine example of our

students participating in National Simultaneous Storytime. So many

amazing costumes! Thank you Mrs Whiteman for organising this

event. It was wonderful to see the preschoolers from both local

Preschools attending along with the students in Year 7 from Cobar

High. Thank you also to all the staff who were involved.

Students remember to start collecting your 10 merit awards for our

PBL Shining Day in week 10 this term. The 10 merit awards will need

to be in by Friday week 9.

Who Got

Spotted

this week? Jayden Morris

Ernie was super impressed when he spotted

Jayden Morris being a responsible student.

Jayden saw a younger student on the oval

with property from the library. Jayden

explained to the student that the item

couldn't be taken onto the oval and got the

student to return the item.

Thank you Jayden for looking after our

school property!

Luca Lang

Ernie was looking into the window

of KM last week and saw Luca

being a great Learner. Luca was

participating to the best of his

ability by showing his best 5L’s

and listening to the teacher’s

instructions.

Fantastic work Luca!
