Dear Parents/Carers
T o m o r ro w , C l i f f D y k e s
Photography will be at school to
take our 2014 school photos of all
our children. The photos will
commence as soon as the
morning bell for classes goes so it
is important that all children are
at school on time on Thursday.
For our school photos, all
students need to be in full school
SUMMER uniform. If your child’s
class has P.E., they will need to
bring their sports uniform to
change into after their photos are
taken.
For children who are away on this
day, Cliff normally comes back a
week or so later to take catch-up
individual photos. Photos
envelopes have already been sent
home and these are to be brought
to school on Thursday and
handed d i re c t l y t o t he
photographers.
Boys Cricket
Last Friday, our boys cricket team
played in the first round of the
State P.S.S.A. Knockout against
Grenfell Public School. On a
rather grey and overcast day our
boys played really well and came
away w i t h a f i n e w in .
Congratulations to Mr Ryan and
all our cricketers. The boys now
move on to the second round
that will be played later this term.

Clear Up School’s Day
Our clean up day was due to be
held last Friday, 28th February but
unfortunately, due to the poor
weather, we were unable to do
this. We held it on Monday this
week and cleaned up our
playground ready for our photos.
One thing that was noted was the
number of uneaten sandwiches
left behind by children. For some
reason, whether it be the children
weren’t hungry, they didn’t like
the filling or they were just too
excited to eat, a lot of food is
being wasted. Please ask your
child what they would like on
their sandwich to try and
minimise this waste.
Family Information
With this newsletter, please find
enc losed a b lank fam i l y
information form. We would like
you to fill this form out and
return to the school office. This
information is needed to update
our records and it is especially
important at the moment as our
funding is being determined on
this information. To help us
maximise this funding, we need
accurate information, particularly
in the area of parental education
and occupation.
Festival of International
Understanding
T h i s y e a r ’ s F e s t i v a l o f
International Understanding will
take place in the week of the 10th
March to the 15th March. Once
again, our school will have a
presence at the Festival with
window displays in shops and
along Kendal Street. Thank you
to Collins Shoe Store and
Dynamic Travel Group for
allowing us to put up our display
in their windows. We will also be
part of the Festival Parade in a
combined float with Cowra High
and Cowra Public School. As this
year’s ‘country’ is The United
Nations, it seems like an ideal
time to unite our schools in this
parade. A note was sent home
last week and we hope that many
of our students are able to join
us.
Tennis
Good luck to our tennis team
who will take on Parkes East in
the first round of the PSSA
Knockout tomorrow here in
Cowra. I know that the team:
Ethan Funnell, Eden Hoy, Ellie
Hampton & Ava Spratt will be
great ambassadors for our school.
Voluntary ContributionsEach
year the school asks families to
pay a small contribution towards
the cost of their child’s education.
At our school, this has been set at
$46 per child or $50 per family.
This contribution helps to cover
the cost of books, paper and
other stationery items used by
each student in class. The fees
can also be paid on a term basis if
this is more convenient. A
reminder would then be sent
home at the start of each term.
School Staff Car Parks
There is some concern about the
number of parents/carers using
the car parks and access road to
pick up & drop students off. This
is a real safety issue for us and
our students. The two car
parks are for staff parking
only & deliveries for our
school.
Please do not use these areas as
the students, especially the
younger ones do not look for cars
while they cross to get to the
office or playgrounds.
Please park your vehicle in either
Myall Street or Lachlan Street.
Raffle - Anti: Bullying
With this newsletter is a small
booklet of raffle tickets which we
have been asked to sell on behalf
of the organisation that is bringing
‘Angels Goal’ to Cowra. This
group delivers a an anti bullying
message to school students.
There are great prizes on offer.
Book club Bookclub orders are due back at school by 1Friday,4th March.
Please return all raffle tickets (sold or unsold) with
money to school by Friday, 14th May. All funds
raised from the raffle and the charity dinner will be
used to bring ‘Angels Goal’ to Cowra to work with
