CHILDREN SING AT GLADSTONE

Last Friday night over 35 of our students performed

a series of Carols at the Gladstone Community

Christmas Carols Event. These students had been

practicing during their lunch times and are

preparing to sing at the Crescent Head event on the

15th of December. The students were joined on

stage by students and staff from Gladstone and

Smithtown Public Schools. Following our children

many of our students also performed as part of

dance troupes from across the Macleay. Well done

to all of the students who took part in this event.

CAPTAIN’S SPEECHES A HIT

Last Monday morning ten of our best and brightest

Year 5 students presented their case to become

our 2020 School Captains to their peers. Speeches

were of a very high quality making voting a very

difficult decision for our students and teachers.

Voting commenced immediately after the

speeches with counting taking place by Mr Upcroft

and Mr Edwards on Monday after school.

Congratulations to all ten of our applicants who

spoke beautifully and all showed excellent

examples of themselves in the role of school

leaders.

journey by Mr Dickinson as her mentor who, in

addition to the LDI workshops on Monday will be

THANK YOU FROM THE P&C

The P&C wish to thank all who donated to the

Tombola stall and raffle which was held at

those who came out to support the event, to

Briella and Sofia for dancing, Annabelle and Sophia

for a beautiful duet and to the children who sang

in the choir. It was a great evening and over $450

was raised for the CWA who then gave all

proceeds to those affected by fires.

LIBRARY STOCKTAKE HAS BEGUN

It is that time of the year again where we ask if all

Library books can be returned so we can begin the

task of our stocktake. Could you please have a

look around at home for books with the CHPS

barcode on the back. There will be no more

borrowing for the rest of the year so no need to

send in library bags. Overdue notices have been

sent home. If you have any queries please contact

Mrs Vermeulen or Mrs Lamb.

BOOK CLUB DUE BACK THIS WEDNESDAY

Book Club brochures went home last week and are

due back this Wednesday 27th November. Orders

can be made online also following the instructions

for the loop system in the brochure.
