Principal’s Report

We welcomed Assumption College Kilmore students to

our school this week, working in classrooms across the

school. These students perform outreach work in

communities across the state as part of their school

program. It was wonderful watching these young people

interact with our students and the enjoyment our

students took from meeting new faces.

A quick reminder to please update phone numbers,

addresses etc. with the front office if they have changed.

Also we understand that some families have court orders

of various types and we ask that as these change, if they

are relevant to the school, please provide updated copies

of these also.

Have a great weekend.

Ernie is on the lookout!

Ernie spotted Katie Nicholson helping

some younger children calm down and

solve their problems peacefully. Great

example Katie!

Respectful at all times, Ernie is very

impressed with how Tristan conducts

himself on the playground, in class and

representing our school. CPS will miss

you next year.

Ernie has noticed that Jamal is a considerate class member

who happily supported another student with their work.

Jamal helped another student with their reading and then

assisted them with the follow up writing activity. Jamal

showed patience and was a kind friend who gave willingly of

his own learning time to support his friend. Keep up the

fantastic work, Jamal !
