Reconciliation Week This week, students and staff observed National Reconciliation Week, with

activities held in classrooms. National Reconciliation Week is a time when

we celebrate the relationships we share with Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander peoples and learn about our shared histories, cultures and

achievements. The theme for 2019 is Grounded Truth: Walk Together in

Courage.

National Sorry Day - 26/5 Kandos Public School acknowledged National Sorry Day

on Sunday. We are honoured to have the picture book

‘Sorry Day’ by Coral Vass and Dub Leffler in our school

library.

Congratulations! Congratulations and praise go to the thirty students who represented

Kandos Public School in the Art of Speech and Drama section of the

Gulgong Eisteddfod on Friday, 24th, Saturday, 25th and Sunday, 26th May.

Each of our competitors has displayed dedication and devotion to the task of

learning their lines, with countless hours of practice and rehearsals being put

in. Outstanding results were received by many of our

competitors, including the students who were entered

into the Schools Group Day on Friday. The group took

out First Place after performing two choral verses. Well

done! A very proud moment. Their winning trophy now

has pride of place in our school’s trophy cabinet. A list of

individual Eisteddfod results follows my report.
