PRINCIPAL’S REPORT This week:
• Kincumba Shines/Education Week
• Voluntary School Contributions
• Congratulations
• P & C and AECG Meeting News
Kincumba Shines/Education Week Next week is Education Week and we are gearing up for our first
ever combined performance with our partner schools in the Kincumba Learning Community. Rehearsals on Monday and a
matinee and evening performance on Wednesday are exciting but very demanding for students and school staff. Performers have a last chance to buy tickets tomorrow as they open for general sale
on Monday; entry to the matinee is by gold coin at the door. This is a very exciting program and we hope that this festival of the
performing arts will be so successful that we will hold them regularly.
On Tuesday morning everyone is welcome to join us at school for an open morning. Meet under the COLA at 10am where Stage 3
and the violin group will entertain you with a bush dance and then head up to classrooms. When the bell goes at 10:50 am for lunch please join your children for lunch and a game. Tea, coffee and
cakes will be on sale for parents from the canteen.
Then on Thursday, Lisa Craddock, Karen Munton and Karen Charlton will be presented with certificates of appreciation at the Central Coast Awards at Lake Munmorah High School.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the students and the
school to achieve everything we have.
Voluntary School Contributions Next week reminders will be going home for outstanding Mathletics and school contribution payments. Please finalise these as soon as possible.
Congratulations Last Monday the primary athletics carnival was held in magnificent weather. As advised last week this was the last athletics carnival that Jon Elbra would organise. Although we thanked Jon for his
long and dedicated service to sport at this school, we want to continue to be reminded of his contribution. A new trophy will be
presented to the Champion House at this year’s presentation and the winning house will be awarded the Jon Elbra Champion House Shield.
P & C and AECG Meeting News At last Monday’s AECG meeting held at Kincumber High School, Assistant Principal, Mary Liddy, announced that she had been successful in gaining funding under a Community Builders grant to
further develop quality relationships between our school and the students and families in our Aboriginal Community. Well done Mary
and we look forward a successful project. At last Monday’s P & C meeting it was decided to put the School
Council in recess and establish a working party to review the operation of the School Council. Kel Butcher is coordinating this
group which will consist of parent and teacher representatives. It is likely that in the next few weeks a survey may go home asking for your thoughts too—please consider responding.
Hope you had a great week at our great school.

PRIMARY ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
On the 26th July, we had our annual school Athletics Carnival. Wow!
Wasn’t it breathtaking. Stage 2 and 3 went to Adcock Park to enjoy a
day of competing in enjoyable races and activities. Four sports houses
battled it out to win 1st place. Thank you to the house captains,
Thomas Webb, Zoe Ramsden, Simone Bradley, Jesse Butcher, Kiran
Richardson, Kaitlin Clague, Nat Jones and Mikayla White for doing an
excellent job in leading their houses. Thank you very much to all the
students for their excellent behaviour. All the kids would like to say
thank you to Mr Elbra and Mrs Griffiths for an enjoyable and awesome
carnival.
by Rosie and Simone (3E)
Further to the girls’ report, I would like to thank Linda and Brenda for
running the canteen at the carnival and the other parents who assisted
them throughout the day. It is a big and often thankless job. At this
stage we will cannot name the winner and age champions as we still
have some high jump events to finish at school. As Mrs Peters said last
week, it was the last carnival I will organise and I would like to thank
the staff for their commitment to ensuring the children always have a
fantastic day at all our carnivals. Without the team effort, it just
wouldn’t happen the way it should. Thanks guys! A team will be
selected shortly to represent us at the District Carnival which will be
held at the end of August at Mingara.
Jon Elbra
A BIG THANK YOU for all the help at the athletics carnival to
Brenda, Naree, Jo, Vanessa and all the other helpers
