NSW CHAMPIONS

On Monday afternoon I was lucky enough to be able to drive to Sydney Olympic Tennis Centre to watch our four talented young tennis stars compete in the NSW State PSSA final against Parks Public School. Not only were there some great serves, rallies, drop shots and returns but there was outstanding sportsmanship, honesty and  fairplay. Both teams played exceptionally well and when speaking to the teacher from Parkes, I was told this is their students first time ever playing on a hard court. They are use to only clay courts and keeping score by scratching it in the dirt using their feet.

An amazing effort from our team who walked away at the end of the day with the title of NSW PSSA Tennis Champions! A achievement they will never forget. Keep an eye out for these talented young kids on the main stage in a few years.

AFTER SCHOOL PICK UP 

Students are unable to stay at school unsupervised at the end of the day and play with their friends before heading home. It is a duty of care issue that when dismissed at the end of the school day, students need to leave the school grounds to either meet their parents or travel home as agreed with their parent/ guardian. There is no teacher supervision and if an accident were to occur, their is no one around to help.

SELECTIVE HIGH SCHOOL

Earlier this year, many of our Year 6 students sat the Selective High School Placement Test. Over the last few days, results have been sent to families.  

Every child and their family regardless of their result, should feel proud of their child’s efforts on the day and their commitment to preparing themselves and having a go. Well done to all participating students! 

BOOK WEEK - DREAMING WITH YOUR EYES OPEN.

Even though we will celebrate with costumes and fun later in the term, please take the time this week to sit down with your child or children and enjoy quality time reading together and building the love of literature. Talk together about books and celebrate together as a family. We are looking forward to having some fun with costumes and books as a school at the end of the Term. Start planing what your costume might be! See the link here to view the winning books for 2022 https://cbca.org.au/winners-2022
