Term 4, Week 8 Wednesday, 30th November 2016
Dear Parents, What a busy week last week turned out to be! Firstly, we had the second week of the Intensive Learn to Swim programme which was successfully completed. Congratulations to all the boys and girls who attended these lessons, even on the days where the weather was a bit cooler. It was wonderful to hear about all the progress that each of the children made in their skills, stamina and confidence. Being able to swim and be confident around water is a very important skill to have. Hopefully, each of the boys and girls can continue this improvement over summer. Thank you also to all the teachers who accompanied the students to the lessons: Mrs Cummings, Mrs Murray, Mrs B. Johnson, Mrs L. Johnson, Miss Boyd, Mrs Jeffries and Mrs Keefe. Also, last week we had 27 students travel to Sydney for the majority of the week to take part in this year’s Schools Spectacular. The theme for this year was “Dream Big” and it was certainly something that they pulled off in this concert. Anyone who had the chance to be in the audience on either Friday or Saturday will marvel at the talent, enthusiasm and sheer professionalism of the vast number of students that were either performing on the floor or singing as part of the enormous mass choir. The teachers who accompanied our students all commented positively on how wonderful our students were. They were well behaved, well mannered and willing to get in and have a go and try their hardest. I know it was a very busy week and a very tiring week but in the end, it was certainly worth it. Congratulations to al the students involved and thank you to the teachers who accompanied our students and made this possible; Mrs Statham, Mrs Cummings, Mrs Apps and Mrs Baratto. A wonderful experience for all. If you missed it, it will be broadcast on Channel 7 this Saturday night. On Friday evening after the show, I got a message from Mrs Cummings letting me know that a couple of our students were so tired they were falling asleep during the show!
School Leaders for 2017
On Monday, 11 Year 5 students presented their speeches to the Year 3-6 student body as part of the election for 2017 school leaders. Each of the students are to be congratulated for putting themselves forward for the leadership positions. After the speeches, all of the students in Years 3-6 and all of the staff voted. Mrs Statham and myself then counted the votes and tallied them up. The student leadership team for 2017 (in

Presentation Day and Special Awards Ceremony
Next week, we have two major ceremonies to celebrate the wonderful achievements of our student body. On Tuesday, 6th December, a Special Award Ceremony will be held underneath the covered area outside the library to recognise students in classes who have consistently worked hard all year. Also at this ceremony, awards will be presented to students who have represented the school at various sports and cultural events. This ceremony will commence at 10am. All parents, carers, grandparents etc are more than welcome to attend. Then on Thursday, 8th December our major Presentation Day will be held in the Cowra High School Hall. This ceremony recognises students who have excelled academically, culturally, socially and on the sports field over 2016. This ceremony will commence at 11 am and again, all parents, carers, grandparents etc are more than welcome to attend. These ceremonies are the culmination of a lot of hard work by students and staff and we hope that we have a large audience to congratulate our students. Invitations for students who are receiving awards for either of these ceremonies will be sent home on Thursday.
