Principal’s Report

Thank you to everyone who showed their concern and

support during my recent time off. Thank you also to Mrs Jermyn for a fine job in leading and managing the

school during this time.

It has been a quiet week this week with students settled

and working well in class. Mr Vangelatos has been in

Louth and Pilliga Public Schools this week, and will travel to Engonnia Public School next week to work

with their students producing 3D artefacts using our 3D printer. This work is part of our commitment to

working with our colleagues in isolated schools to

ensure that all students in the public education system are able to access quality learning opportunities.

We have had two prac students in the school over the last month and these trainee teachers finish up at the

end of this week. Thank you for your time working with our students Ms Bowkett and Ms McClaren, we

hope you enjoyed your time at CPS.

Finally thank you to our parents used the form in last

week’s newsletter to inform us of your use of the

mid-term break. This is valuable data and we thank you

all for taking the time to assist with this.

Indy Negfeldt

RESPECTFUL

LEARNER

Ernie was super excited when he spotted

Shaughnessy in the playground during lunch

break, because she was being very responsible

with the equipment and using it for its purpose.

He also noticed that when she was playing out

on the oval she stayed in bounds at all times.

Shaughnessy is a very RESPONSIBLE

RESPECTFUL,LEARNER. Well done Shaughnessy.

Indy Negfeldt was spotted this week being

a respectful student during class. Indy

showed her teacher and class mates that

she is a careful listener who speaks politely

to others. Ernie isalways happy to see

children who not only understand what

RESPECT is but show respect every day at

school. Well done Indy!

Khloe Oeser-Harpley

Ernie has spotted Khloe who is always prepared for

learning. She is ready to put her hand up to answer

questions and works well as a spelling buddy in class.

Ernie has noticed that Khloe shows a lot of enthusiasm

with everything she attempts. Ernie loves to see

students concentrating all the time and that's what he

saw Khloe doing. You are a fantastic role model Khloe.

Keep it up!
