From the Principal __________________________ Dear Parents and Friends from Crossmaglen Public School, 

 

P&C 

Thank you to Rosey, Pauline, Christiana, Tania, Kate, Sam, Linda, Ky and Rom who attended the 

P&C last week. It was very exciting to be able to share the planning behind our education 

programs and detailing upcoming adventures for the students in our care. I also took the time 

to thank the P&C for the continued positive support that enables our students to grow and 

flourish.  

 

Youth Environment Council Gathering 

On Friday 20 September, our senior students (Year 3-6) will be attending the Youth 

Environment Council Gathering at the National Marine Science Centre (NMSC). This day aims 

to provide an opportunity for students to share current sustainable projects they are involved 

in, explore projects at the NMSC with a hands on experience of marine creatures and then a 

stroll along the headland to Diggers for whale watching.   

 

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation 

This week, Rom and I will be attending professional learning with the Stephanie Alexander 

Foundation - specifically targeting Growing Your Kitchen Garden Program and Cooking In Your 

Kitchen Garden Program. We are both looking forward to networking with other schools who 

also value child engagement in learning, increased child willingness to try new foods, improved 

child knowledge, confidence and skills in relation to cooking and gardening, improved school 

social environment, and increased school community connections. It really is so much more 

than just a ‘gardening’ school.   

 

Gumbaynggirr Language Lessons 

Gumbaynggirr language is traditionally spoken between the Nambucca River in the south 

(southern dialect) and the Clarence River in the north (northern dialect) and west past Guyra 

(tablelands region). Our current teacher, Bryce, was unable to deliver our lesson last week so 

he has kindly offered to have a catch up lesson later in the term. Thank you to Bryce.  

 

Music 

I was very excited to announce that we have been working with the Coffs Harbour Regional 

Conservatorium to design a 10 week acoustic guitar program for our students. All students 

from Kindergarten to Year 6 will participate on Mondays. Please ensure that all permission 

notes are sent back to school.  

 

The two week intensive swim program will commence in Term 4. Have a happy week.
