It was great to see the efforts last Friday of many of our long distance runners at the school cross country carnival. There were some excellent performances. What was even more pleasing was the indication from some that they had taken the time to prepare by doing some training in the weeks leading up to the event. Next Friday those who finished in the first six places in each event will match their abilities against the best runners f rom B inna wa y , Coo lah and Mendooran Schools. A continuation of the training should see some excellent results there too.

confidently to all class tasks.

Is your child finding it difficult to juggle after school activities and complete their

weekly homework tasks? Then our new ‘Homework Headquarters’ is where your

child needs to be each Monday afternoon from 3-4pm.

The ‘Homework Headquarters’ will kick off from Monday the 16th of May and will

be accessible to all students every Monday afternoon in the school library.

If your child needs help with their homework, please send them along on Monday

afternoons where they will be supervised and assisted by two of our qualified

teaching staff. Your child will also be supplied with a small snack and a drink for

afternoon tea - to keep the brain active! It is important that your child brings

along their homework and that somebody is there to pick them up at 4pm. Unlike

previous years, there will not be a bus service to drop children home - you will

need to pick them up, or organise for them to walk home.

If you plan on sending your child or children to the ‘Homework Headquarters’,

please fill in this permission note and return it to Miss Allison Kuras.

This permission note will cover students for the remainder of the year.

——————————–————-—————————————————————— HOMEWORK HEADQUARTERS - PERMISSION NOTE

My child ______________________ of class ____________ has permission to attend the

‘Homework Headquarters’ in the CPS Library of a Monday afternoon whenever

he/she requires assistance with homework.

Last Friday morning the sun shone beautifully for our annual cross country. All students 8

Congratulations for your efforts everyone. A big congratulations to all place getters in each
