Principal’s Report

Another very quiet week on the school front

this week. Our netball and football teams

competed in the Peachy Cup competition

this week. Results are unavailable at time of

writing; these will be posted in the newslet-

ter next week.

Thank you to the parents and community

members who attended the planning and re-

form information meetings this week. We

looked at the Schools Excellence Frame-

work and a number of small revisions to the

school plan. Dates for the term 2 meetings

were published in last week’s newsletter and

will appear in the newsletter calendar.

Planning for this year’s Spring Fair is underway, come along with your ideas and

improvements to make this year even bigger and better than last year.

Look who has been spotted this week;

Ernie is super proud of the work Ashton

has been producing in the classroom while

working with Mrs Kuiters. Ernie has spotted

Ashton focusing and trying really hard to

learn in reading groups and in maths groups.

A double round of applause is deserved

here! Ernie gets so excited when he sees

students concentrating and trying their best

in the classroom. Well done Ashton, keep

up the good work! LEARNER

Ernie was walking past the Music Room last

week and loved the sounds coming from

3/4C and their ukuleles. Ernie then looked

inside and noticed why. He saw Damon using

the most polite voice ever and doing as he

was asked. As a result Damon and the rest

of 3/4C are becoming ukulele superstars!

Well done Damon!

RESPONSIBLE

Siena is always respectful to her fellow

classmates and teachers. It is never a

problem for Siena to assist her peers during

pack up time. She is the first to help the

teacher and her friends. Great job Siena

RESPECTFUL

How can I go to the

Positive Behaviour for

Learning rewards day

at the end of Term 1?

I need to collect 10 Merit

Awards before Friday 1st

April 2016.

START

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

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

I can go to the Positive Behaviour

in my 10 merit awards to school

on Friday 1st April for my teacher

to check.

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 playground duty and to write up merit award recipients on Sentral.
