Principal’s Report

Congratulations to our Smooth Start students who graduated

this week. They all looked very grown up wearing their gown

and mortarboard. Thank you to all the parents and grandpar-

ents for making it a special ceremony. We look forward to

seeing our graduates in 2019. Thank you to Mrs Knight, Mrs

Lee, Mrs Baker, Miss Martin, Mrs Ackroyd, Donna and Miss

Brenton for all your efforts in ensuring it was a successful

program.

Next week will be busy with Presentation Day and the Year 6

Farewell. It’s wonderful to see parents/carers and relatives

supporting their child/children at these special events. The

office ladies and Donna have been very busy organising these

events. We thank them for their hard work.

This week Mrs Eves, Miss Sloan and Mrs Lehmann travelled

to Nyngan for SAP (Systems, Applications and Products)

training. I am sure their heads are still spinning! I don’t envy

them at all.

Enjoy the town Christmas Parade and Christmas Gala Night

tonight and have a wonderful weekend.

Be kind to one another!

CPS Year 6 Farewell Dinner Invitations to all parents of CPS Year 6

students were mailed out on the

23rd October, 2018.

Please contact CPS Admin. on 6836 2039

if you require further information

about this event.

This week, Mr Harvey and Miss Gentles have taken a group of our

students who live on rural properties, to visit Ashtonfield Public School

in Newcastle. Our students have the opportunity to share what it is like

living in the bush and experience city life. We can’t wait for the

students to return and share their stories of the events on their excursion.

Hopefully, there will be many photos too.

With our own personal tour guide Mr Harvey; the students and Miss

Gentles were treated to first class sight-seeing, exploring the sights of

Nobbys beach, King Edward Park gun emplacement, Blackout Reserve

Walk, ANZAC walk at Strzelecki Lookout, Fort Scratchley and the list

goes on. The students have had a great time at Ashtonfield Public School,

making some great friendships and being inundated with interested

students asking many questions.

Our students and Mr Harvey presented a powerpoint to Year 3-6

students and teachers, highlighting life on the farm. Mr Harvey and Miss

Gentles had heard non-stop praise and positive feedback about our stu-

dents. We are very proud.
