Canobolas Public School Newsletter
Lake Canobolas Cross Country Run This Friday, the last day of term, all Canobolas and Nashdale students will have a cross-country practice run at Lake Canobolas. Students will travel by bus to the lake and back which means that students can catch the bus back at school as normal. Any parents wishing to pick up students from the lake, must do so no later than 1.50pm as the bus will need to return to school. Band will be happening as normal. Lunch orders will be delivered to school earlier than normal to accommodate an early lunchtime. Please make sure that notes are returned. OSSA (Green & White) Cross Country The OSSA Cross Country will be held in Cudal on Friday 3rd May (week 1). It is for all students aged between 8-12 years. Younger students are also welcome to compete and must nominate and collect a note in the office. Transport is by private vehicle. All notes and lunch orders will need to be returned by tomorrow, Thursday 11th April. ANZAC Day The ANZAC Day March will be held during the school holidays. Any student wishing to march needs to be in full winter uniform including ties. A sprig of rosemary pinned to their jumpers is a good addition as well. Could all students attending, please meet the teachers on Sale St outside Newey’s Dry Cleaners at 10am. The march ends in McNamara Lane near the Parkview Hotel. Could all parents please ensure they are there to collect students at the end of the march. Application to enrol for 2020 Enrolment application forms for Kindergarten 2020 have been sent home to siblings this week. If you were expecting one and didn’t receive one, please call the office. Visible Learning Professional Learning On Saturday 6th April, Canobolas PS hosted a full day of professional learning in our library based on Visible Learning classroom strategies. This was the second valuable workshop that our staff has attended around Visible Learning. This one dealt mainly with giving students strategies on how to get out of ‘the pit’. Strategies encourage students to be independent learners with a positive approach to learning. Presenters came from Sydney and Adelaide for the training. Term 1 Wrap-up It has been a very positive start to the year. Our new Kindergarten students have settled in nicely and are already blending their sounds to read and write their first words. Year 6 students are leading by example and help out every day in small ways making a big difference. All classes have had a full term of work and teachers regularly report positive progress. We have had a lot of parent support this term both in classrooms and in P&C events, which is highly valued by staff and students and a testament to our warm Canobolas community. Next term there are several visits to the theatre and a visit from Bell Shakespeare. Tournament of Minds, Debating and Musica Viva also take place. School reports and parent meetings occur at the end of the term.
Many thanks for all of the ways you support our school. Have a safe and happy holiday and we’ll see you back for another great term starting on the 30th April.
