Cowra Public School NEWS Term 2, Week 2
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
5 May 2016
NSW Department of Education and Communities Wednesday and Thursday and it is very important that children are in attendance and on time to commence the tests.
Dear Parents
This week has certainly been a busy one with our school heavily involved across the Cowra Community. This started with our choir receiving a standing ovation at the CWA State Conference Launch on Monday. Mrs Hilton had the students primed and the performance was flawless to say the least. Following this the choir again performed at the High School for the NSW Governor’s visit on Tuesday and again the accolades flowed from the Governor himself on the outstanding performance of the students and the leadership of Mrs Hilton.
On the weekend one of the most important days of the year falls, being Mother’s Day. Cowra Public School has provided the children the opportunity to purchase a gift for Mum. I would like to thank Sarah Casey as part of the Cowra Public School P&C for coordinating this huge job. I am sure all Mums will enjoy the gifts they receive and we hope that all mums have a great day. To all the Dads, this is a two day reminder to get organised to make sure you don’t forget the day.
On Tuesday our school enjoyed the sporting opportunities of both the David Peachey/Russell Richardson Shield and the Netball gala day. Both boys and girls were involved with over 85 students attending the events. From all accounts the teams performed well, both on and off the field, showing sportsmanship and outstanding manners. A big thank you to the teachers w ho attended the day and congratulations to the other schools involved. This week the school is also busy preparing for the NAPLAN exams to be held next week for students in grades 3 and 5. Testing will be conducted on Tuesday,
Last week the school held the first P&C meeting of the term with discussions around the outstanding progress of the school. The school is looking to hold a P&C Disco in the later part of the term as one of their annual events. At the meeting it was tabled that the school has had an increase in student numbers that has not been seen or expected for a number of years. This increase in numbers has prompted the school to establish a fourth classroom in Stage 2. This class will commence in Week 4 and we welcome back Mrs Parker in the teaching role. This will enable the class sizes to be greatly reduced in order to best suit the children’s learning opportunities.
FOR YOUR DIARY
Mr Albert Murray’s secondment to the RAET
Team (Regional Aboriginal Education Team) to lead the Western Area development of Aboriginal programs and services to schools for four weeks
has now been reduced to a two week absence. He will be back on class on Monday, 16 May.
Finally I would like to announce the very sad news that Mrs Kerry Cole will be retiring at the conclusion of the term. Mrs Cole has lead Cowra Public School in technology for numerous years and has been the stage leader of Stage 1 for the past 3 years to great effect. Since I arrived at Cowra Public School I have marvelled at the amazing talents of our staff and their wealth of experience with Mrs Cole being instrumental to the school’s success. Mrs Cole has delayed her retirement several times over the last few years, always putting the school above her own interests, but time doesn’t stand still forever and finally it is time for Mrs Cole to be a grandmother to her lovely 3.5 grandchildren. I speak on behalf of the entire Cowra Public School community to wish Mrs Cole and Mr Cole every happiness in their retirement. Enjoy the week and to all the Mums enjoy your special day on Sunday. You deserve it! Have a great week.

PSSA GIRLS’ NETBALL On Friday 29th April ten Stage Three girls travelled to Orange for the second round of the PSSA netball knockout competition. With a fiery start the girls won the first round resulting in the second game to be played against Lithgow. The second game definitely bought the team together with some excellent defence and attacking skills shown by all. Winning by only one nail-biting point, the girls made it to the finals to be played against Bathurst. Unfortunately the girls were not successful in the last game, however, they showed excellent determination and did not go down without a battle. Congratulations to the girls on their achievements. Mel Montgomery Netball Coach

RUSSELL RICHARDSON/DAVID PEACHEY SHIELD On Tuesday this week our Cowra Public School football teams competed in the Russell Richardson/David Peachey Shield. The boys and girls played against other Cowra schools in what was a very enjoyable day. The Stage 3 teams unfortunately didn’t make it into the finals although everyone played their best and still gave it a good go. There were some great tries scored and some awesome tackles made but the other teams eventually came out on top. All players put in 100% effort and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The players would like to thank Mr Murray, Mr Richards and Mr Garlick who coached the senior teams on the day. Jake Roberts
