Congratulations to our students and staff on a fantastic Swimming Carnival on Monday. This was our first whole Primary Campus Swimming Carnival for many years and it was fantastic to have so many students participate and so many of our parents in attendance. The conditions were extremely hot however the behaviour of our students was outstanding and they supported each other in a very positive manner throughout the day. Following this carnival as we do for any large event, we have reviewed what we believe worked very well and what we need to improve on and will put any necessary changes in place for next year’s carnival. Our thanks to Mr Zacek for his excellent organisation of this carnival, our staff for their support and Grafton Pool for providing such excellent facilities. Congratulations to the winning house: Thomas
Congratulations to our champions

The Clarence Zone Swimming Carnival will be held on Wednesday 22nd February at Grafton Pool. Students will be informed in the near future if they have qualified to attend this next level. Last Friday members of the Titans Rugby League Club visited our school and spoke to our Year 5 and 6 students on Respect. The students really enjoyed this presentation and are putting in place some of these strategies to support themselves at home and school.

Congratulations to our new Kindergarten students who have settled extremely well.
On Wednesday Stage 3 participated in a virtual excursion on Cyber bullying which our students found very informative. These are strategies to support our students so they are able to have an understanding of positive choices when using social media. A discussion point from some recent media is the lack of communication skills in our younger generation due to a reliance on social media. This is an area we all need to develop in our students so they have the capacity to have conversations with each other, accept and respect difference of opinions, formulate their own ideas etc. Sitting down across from a friend and having a conversation verbally can assist with this. This is something you can work on at home by talking to your children.
Congratulations to Mrs Rouse who has been recognised for her excellent mentoring of student teachers by Southern Cross University and will be receiving an award at an official ceremony to be held at Coffs Harbour next week. This is fantastic recognition of the excellent mentoring programme we have at our school and the work Mrs Rouse has done to prepare our teachers of the future. Have a great week Peter Hickey Principal

Free Come and Try BMX
Saturday 18 February 2017 Two Free coaching and training Sessions for new riders to gain basic bike skills and confidence to ride on the BMX track. Arrive at 10 for 10.30am-12noon session or arrive at 12.30 for the 1pm-2.30pm session. This is a great opportunity for anyone who rides a bike and is interested in having a ride on a BMX race track. Riders of all ages from 2 years up can join in the fun and have a ride around the BMX track. BMX is not just for the boys - the number of girls riding and racing BMX bikes is on the increase throughout Australia. The great thing about BMX as a sport is that the whole family can get involved, and all the family can do the same sport at the one place and time. Riders and spectators will experience the thrills and excitement of this family orientated sport. Bring along a good working order bike (Bike size can be from a 16 inch BMX to 26 inch mountain bike or strider balance bikes for the very young) and safety gear - bike helmet (preferred full face) long pants and long sleeve shirt, shoes and socks that cover the ankle, gloves (any type will do). If you do not have some of the safety gear, ask at the canteen on the day as we do have a limited number of helmets and gloves to loan out. The club will have someone on hand to checkout your bike and help with making it safe to ride. A sausage sizzle will be available throughout the break, allowing you to get to know club members and find out more about our club and the sport. Stay around after the last session and join in our GM to find out what is happening in the club. Tell all your friends and your parents.
The Clarence Valley BMX Club’s race track located at the corner of Abbott and Vere Streets in South Grafton.
