Tell Them From Me Parent Survey

A reminder that we

need to hear from

you! Your feedback is

valued and

appreciated. Please

take the time to

complete the Partners in Learning parent survey, it will

only take about 10-15 minutes. We are aiming for 30%

of our families to participate in this survey. This equates

to 114 responses. We currently have 24, only another

90 to go!!!

You can access the survey at the following link

Kinder Zoo Day

Unfortunately, the much-anticipated Kinder Zoo

excursion was cancelled this year due to COVID.

However, last week we

held a Zoo Day experience

here at school, it was a

fantastic day enjoyed by

everyone involved. Thank

you to Mrs Bryant for all of

her organisation to make

this a fun, memorable day

for our Kinder students.

Transition to School 2021

Unfortunately, at this point in time Transition to

School programs are still on hold. I am awaiting

updated guidelines for Term 4 but given the fact that

these have not come through yet we have decided to

push back our Let’s Connect program by three weeks.

Should we be able to move ahead with Transition to

School Programs next term we have decided that Let’s

Connect will now run in Weeks 5-9 starting on

Wednesday 11th November. More information will be

sent out to Kindergarten 2021 families at the start of

next term. Please visit our virtual transition space at

https://sites.google.com/view/

cudgegongvalleykindergarten21/home

where we are continually updating resources to support

you and your child as they transition to school.

Sports Carnivals

Last Friday we held the second Athletics Carnival Day.

Congratulations to all students who competed in field

events on Friday. This Wednesday morning our Cross

Country Carnival will be held, students are encouraged

to wear their house colours or sports uniform. All

students will participate on Wednesday in an age-based

course throughout the morning.

Holidays and return to school

It has been a great term full of learning and achievement, this Friday is the last day of Term 3. On behalf of all of the CVPS school

community I would like to wish all our families a safe, relaxing and enjoyable two week break. Staff and students return to school for Term 4 on Monday 12th October. Please note there is NO Staff Development Day at the start of term 4. All students will return in summer uniform next term. Have a great break and I look forward to seeing everyone next term!

Ooshies Trading Session Today our School Councillors hosted an Ooshie Trading Session during lunchtime. It was a great success, with lots of students attending to trade their Ooshies even Mr Lindsay and Mrs Neaverson-Smith. Well done to our dedicated School Councillors for organising and supervising this event for everyone to enjoy. 2020 has been a challenging time for our school leaders and any opportunity to lead the school and provide student voice is invaluable in their development as people and leaders.

Crazy Hair and Colourful Clothes Day! A reminder about our upcoming PBL whole school Term 3 reward this week, Thursday 24th September. Crazy Hair and Colourful Clothes Day, students can come wearing their colourful clothes and crazy hair, a reminder that sensible clothing must be worn as well as enclosed shoes.

Red Certificates

Library News Book Club Thank you to all families who purchased out of Issue 6. All Book Club orders were handed out on Friday from Issue 6. There were a couple which are on back order and should be here early next term. Book Fair Our Book Fair is running from Tuesday 13th October - Wednesday 21st October. There will be a lot of different items and packages available for sale, as well as posters and funky stationary

items. Items will start from around $2 and go up from there. I will be sending wish lists home with students for parents to have some ideas about what their child found and liked. If you wish to purchase, you can send cash in, pay with EFTPOS at the office, or fill in the credit card details on the back of the WISH form. Most items can be bought on the spot and taken

home, though if it's the last item, it will need to be ordered and handed to the student when it arrives. More information is coming. Book Week and Parade During Term 4, we will be celebrating Book Week and the CBCA Shortlisted Books. There is going to be some in class competitions held, as well as a colouring in competition being sent home this week. If your child wishes to enter, please make sure it is handed back by Tuesday 13th October (Week 1, Term 4). There will be one winner per year. Book Parade will be held on Friday 23rd October. Start thinking of dress-up ideas to do with books. Thank you, Mrs Bryant
