Principal’s Report
Students were extremely excited this week due to the
visit from Moorambilla staff. All students in years 3 to
6 had the opportunity to audition for Moorambilla and
we congratulate those students who were chosen to
participate. This is a wonderful opportunity and as we
know from student feedback in previous years, an
event that students thoroughly enjoy.
Following consultation with the executive, I had the
unpleasant task this week of making the decision to
collapse one of our classes. Due to a loss of 1.2 teach-
ing staff positions we are unable to maintain the cur-
rent number of classes, and from the beginning of
Term 2 Mr Vangelatos’ class will be combined into
Mrs Crawford’s and Mrs Sinclair’s classes. Parents of
students effected by this were informed in writing this
week. A transition program for students effected
commenced this week and will continue for the
remainder of the term. Mr Vangelatos will remain in
the school as a temporary staff member covering day
to day absences.
As we do need to drop our teaching staff numbers by
1.2, we will be farewelling Mr Burgess at the end of
the term. We thank Mr Burgess for his time in the
school.
On a brighter note, we continue to enjoy a very settled
school environment and when visiting classrooms it is
evident that students are engaged and enjoying their
learning.
Enjoy the weekend.

Look who has been spotted this week;
Ernie checked out 1S and noticed Miranda
Orr being responsible. She was busy helping
Mr Burgess in the classroom. Mr Burgess is
still learning about Cobar Public School and
Miranda was a great helper. Ernie is very
proud of Miranda helping the new staff.
Ernie just couldn't believe his eyes when
he saw Lachlan in 2K. He is always
prepared for learning and does his 5L's like
a champion. He always tries his hardest,
even if things are tricky for him. Lachlan
knows how to avoid distractions and is a kind
and considerate classmate. He is never too
shy to ask for help if he needs it. Ernie
loves seeing Lachlan's happy face ready
to learn every day. Way to go Lachlan! LEARNER
RESPECTFUL
Ernie has spotted you Emily being a
responsible senior member of our school.
Emily is a wonderful role model to the
younger students. One time that sticks out
like sprinkles on a sausage roll, is when Ernie
saw Emily taking a new Kindy student under
her wing and helping her catch the bus
home. This shows that Emily is responsible
at school and after school as well!
Be proud and keep up the great work!

Focus of the week
Keep your hands and feet to yourself
Bongo Brothers The Bongo brothers is a house music group that consists of two members
Samuel Makhubela (poet and producer/DJ) and William Semenya (DJ/producer).
CPS students were entertained by the Bongo Brothers on Tuesday the 15th of
March. The students thoroughly enjoyed this show. They were invited to par-
ticipate in dancing and acting. They were taken around the world with music,
children were totally engaged and spent the whole time being entertained by
the brothers, enjoying their humour.
Purple Day Cobar Public School will be participating in Purple Day on
the Thursday 24th of March. Students are encouraged
to wear purple on this day and are asked for a gold coin
donation. Please support this cause.
What is Purple Day?
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness
about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around
the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy
awareness. Last year, people in dozens of countries on all continents including
Antarctica participated in Purple Day!
