Year 3 and 4 Fun Athletics Day Year three and four Fun Athletics Day is on Tuesday 15 December from 9:00am until 12:05pm. Please ensure your child is well prepared for a morning of outside activity - school sunhat, sunblocked and drink bottle filled with water. Parents and caregivers are welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.
Concerts A reminder, the concerts will be held on Monday 14 December come rain, hail or (hopefully) sunshine. OUTSIDE CONCERT PLANS Years 0 - 2: All students to assemble on the netball court at 4.45pm in readiness to walk into position on the bank in the corner of the field. The concert will start at 5.00pm. At the conclusion of their concerts year 0 - 2 students will be walked to a vacant area of the field to be reunited with parents :) Years 3 - 6: All students to assemble on the netball court at 5.15pm in readiness to walk into position on the bank in the corner of the field. The concert is expected to start at about 5.30pm. It is expected this concert will be completed by about 6.20 pm. INSIDE CONCERT PLANS - the plans we hope we won’t have to use Years 0 - 2: All students assemble in the hall at 4.45pm for concert to start at 5.00pm. Years 3 - 4: All students assemble in the hall at 5.3 pm for concert to start very shortly thereafter. Years 5 - 6: All students assemble in the hall at 6.05pm for concert to start very shortly thereafter. If we have to have the concerts in the hall we will have to compromise the quality of the experience. We will do our best and we ask for your tolerance and understanding for a decision (to hold the concerts inside) that is beyond even our control! All students are requested to wear Christmas-coloured clothing using the white, red and green theme. However, a combination of all colours is NOT required and there is no expectation new clothing will be purchased! Christmas/festive-type head wear is perfectly fine, reflecting what we hope to be a fun filled event. Other Events on the Night Thanks to the Friends of Campbells Bay School, the evening should be a family fun event with plenty to do (and eat). Please see the attachment to the newsletter that outlines these events.
Market Day - Friday 11 December The Market Day run by year five and six students is this Friday from 10.00am to 2.00pm, raising money for the school. Children are invited to bring their pocket money (please only bring coins, no large notes.

CBS Book Week Our school Book Week was a huge success. The aim for the week was to promote literature and help develop a love of reading. This was evident around the school from the buzz in the air and sheer excitement about books. Throughout the week children enjoyed visits from Tony Williams, Des Hunt, Mark Sommerset, Tamsin Worsely, Peter Millett, Winnie the Witch and Jenny Watt with her musical story. Competition was hot as every class decorated their class door in the theme of their favourite book. Well done everyone. They looked amazing. The grand finale to our week was the book character parade last Friday, where both teachers and students showcased their favourite book character. Each class selected one lucky winner who received a book of their choice kindly donated by Scholastic Books. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting another successful Book Week. We sold just over $18,000 worth of books and with the $6,000 proceeds our library will receive hundreds of new books as well as books kindly donated from many families. Thank you very much FOCBS for their hard work and support with running this event. A special thank you to our parent volunteers Jocelyn DeSuza, Tash Bartlett, Catherine Young, Lucy Knight, Stephanie Houliston, Georgina Nicholson, Sonette de Koster, Alice Rong, Sophie and Jen. In particular, a special thanks to Tracey Smith who spent many hours organising author visits, grandparents day, book fair set up and pack up as well as being there daily to help sell books and share her valuable knowledge with parents. We couldn’t have done it without all of these volunteers. Here are some photos from Book Week 2015. Christine McLean, Learning Hub Teacher

Thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and special visitors who came to spend the morning at our school last Wednesday and support our school Book Week. It really was a great morning to be treasured by all! Christine McLean, Learning Hub Teacher
