Principal’s Report

On behalf of everyone at CPS, I offer our sincere condo-

lences to the school community of Banksia Road Public

School after the recent tragedy; our thoughts are with

the staff, students and families.

It has been a very busy week within school and outside

as many of our Copper Team students participated in the

excursion to Lake Burrendong. Mr Holt and Mrs Jermyn

have had many positive reports to share and the students

have thoroughly enjoyed their time.

Teachers have been very busy in preparing for the end

of year reports. We will be presenting student results in

a different way this year so report formats will look very

different. Please refer to the section is this week’s news-

letter for more information.

We are already half way through the last term of 2017

with another mid-term break upon us. We have many

exciting events in the near future such as PBL rewards

day. Please keep your eyes on the newsletter and notes

home for more information.

I will leave you with a riddle: What is something that

you can take from and then it will get bigger? If you

think you have the answer come and see me.

Have a safe and enjoyable mid-term break.

See you on Tuesday 14th November

Ernie is on the lookout!

Tori is always coming into the library at lunch time to

see if she can help Mrs Whiteman do any jobs. Ernie is

very impressed as Tori isn't even a library monitor but

still comes to help. Ernie has also noticed that Tori works

to the best of her ability during library lessons. Keep up

the great work Tori.

Cassidy never ceases to amaze Ernie with her

exceptional manners and the way she shares resources

in the classroom. Cassidy is not only a very supportive class

member to everyone, but she also looks after all the

resources such as books, pencils and games by putting them

away where they belong. Ernie is so proud of the fantastic

example she sets. Cassidy, Ernie thinks you rock!

Congratulations Riley Bruce! Riley has been chosen

by Ernie this week. Riley had been spotted working

very well with Mrs Baker during Guided Reading

lessons. Ernie was very proud of the way Riley was

listening to the instructions and hearing sounds in

words during word work. Great job Riley!
