Principal’s Report

Another very settled week for the students

and staff.

A number of our students are participating in

the Moorambilla Voices choirs, and both the

boy’s and girl’s workshops were held in

Barradine over last weekend and into this

week. These students will come together

again on the first weekend of the school

holidays to perform a sold out show in

Dubbo. Congratulations to all our students.

Also this week was the Nyngbar Athletics

Carnival at which approximately 40 of our

students competed. Results are unknown at

time of writing, though we expect that a

number of our students will progress to the

regional carnival.

This weekend is the mid-term break, and a

reminder that if you use the break to attend

appointments please let the school know.

This, then contributes to the data, we are

gathering in support of continuing the mid-

term break beyond 2017.

Have a good weekend.

RESPONSIBLE RESPECTFUL

Brayden Auld

LEARNER

Ernie was very excited to see Chase following

all of his expectations when entering the new

playground areas at the start of term 3. Ernie

spotted Chase being responsible with the toy

dinosaurs. Ernie loved seeing Chase ask the teacher

if he was allowed to play with the dinosaurs in a

different area and saw that Chase followed all of

the teacher's instructions. Great job Chase for

following the PBL expectations so well!

Ernie has been keeping a watchful eye on Sierra since she

arrived at CPS. Ernie has watched her in class and in the

playground showing respect for her teachers and peers by

always using her manners, waiting patiently in class with

her hand up until she is invited to speak, speaking politely

and `being fair by waiting for her turn to speak. Ernie has

listened to Sierra talk with her friends in class and he

sees that she shows respect by looking at people when

talking to them.

Ernie has been into the library last week and can't believe Brayden's work.

He always writes more than the expectation in anything he does for Mrs

Whiteman and includes so much detail in his pictures. Work is completed

promptly, neatly and with comprehension. Brayden is always prepared for

learning, participates to the best of his ability and listens to instructions.

Ernie is sure Brayden will keep up this fantastic work in the future. Well

done Brayden.
