Principal’s Report

Please note time changes for the Christmas Concerts on the last day of term. Following full rehearsals, the-

se times have been altered to ensure that we do

not have to rush through any of the items that the students will be presenting.

Gold team concert/assembly runs 12.05-1.35pm

16.12.16

Copper/Zinc team runs 2.00-3.05pm—16.12.16

Our thoughts this week are with the Colling family who lost

their house in a fire last weekend. The positive from this is

seeing the amazing support for the family from the Cobar com-

munity.

Assumption College, a school just outside of Melbourne, visit-

ed us this week and undertook community service around the school. They worked in the gardens, canteen and in other areas

around the school, helping to beautify our grounds. We thank

the students for their work in the school and hope they enjoyed their time in Cobar.

Elections for the 2017 school captains and vice captains were held this week. These are important positions in the student

leadership team and we look forward to announcing the

successful students at presentation day in week 10.

Students attended the WSPA dance concert during the week to

support their friends and siblings who were dancing. This was a great experience for all involved.

Have a great weekend.

LEARNER

Ernie has been quite busy over the

last few weeks, but he has stumbled

upon a young lady by the name of

Apanie. She is a delight to have at

CPS as she is always following the

PBL expectations. Well done Apanie!

Ernie is always happy to see Leslie

Hooker in the playground. Ernie often

hears Leslie saying hello to everyone

and being very respectful when

speaking to staff.Keep up the great

work Leslie.

Ernie has been watching Latifah in class and

has noticed a massive improvement in her

writing. Latifah has been seen working quietly

at her desk and writing sentences all by

herself. Amazing work Latifah. Ernie is super

proud of you.
