Principal’s Report

It’s hard to believe week 7 is upon us already. Teachers have been busy preparing reports for students to take

home in week 9. The end of the term will also see parent/

teacher interviews taking place again. A note about this will be going home shortly. We recommend getting your

note back with the preferred time as soon as you can to

avoid disappointment, particularly for those parents with multiple children at the school.

As the colder weather hits, I would like to reiterate the

importance of students wearing full school uniform.

Wearing our uniform is part of the expectations of being a ‘Responsible, Respectful Learner’. Students who are

out of uniform, even partially, are expected to be carrying a note from a parent or carer.

In my role, I have the pleasure of being in and out of different classrooms and I would like to take this

opportunity to congratulate students on their efforts in class. It is so pleasing to see so many working hard and

persisting with tasks. It would also be fair to mention the

hard work all staff (teaching and non-teaching) have been doing to spark this love of learning.

A lot of out-of-school activities are taking place and will

continue to do so with our Cross Country taking place

this week as well as the upcoming recorder trip to Sydney. A select group of students are also singing at the

TEDx conference in Sydney this week as part of the Moorambilla program. We are always proud to showcase

the many talents of our students.

As I always do, I shall leave you with a joke.

What is the tallest building in Cobar Public School?

The library, because it has the most STORIES.

Who Got

Spotted

this week?

Ernie has spotted Hayleigh around

the school and in the classroom. She

always uses school equipment for its

purpose and shares with others. She

wears her school uniform with pride.

Hayleigh always looks out for

others.

Zethan Orcher

Ernie is very pleased with Zethan in

Kindergarten. He has noticed that

Zethan always listens to instructions

while doing his 5L's on the floor.

Zethan comes to school every day

with all his equipment ready to learn.

Ernie loves the way that Zethan

always tries his best and

never gives up!

Good on you Zethan.

Noah O’Brien

Ernie was sneaking around the 5/6

building when he spotted Noah being

very respectful during maths activities.

Noah was using manners and taking

turns with his group. Noah not only

showed respect to his classmates but

he then made sure he put all the

activities back in the folder and

respected other people's belongings.

Well done Noah!

Congratulations
