Safety lessons 

 

Last Friday, Miss Farrell held a whole 

school lesson focusing on personal safety. 

The students brainstormed ways to respond 

if they become lost from a known adult.   

 

 

Each week, our students will participate in 

practical lessons to develop self regulation. 

 

Thank you to Mrs Marshall for purchasing 

some wonderful resources to support this 

initiative at the school.

The senior students have 

been learning about Road

are more informed of the 

need to be safe whilst using 

a bike and crossing the 

road. 

 

In math, the Back Cottage 

students are using a Bump

learning using additive 

strategies. 

 The Grey Cottage students 

have been working hard on 

learning their sight words

Dear Parents and Friends of Crossmaglen Public School, 

 

2021 Kindergarten Enrolments 

We are now accepting Kindergarten enrolments for 2021. Any child can start school if they 

turn 5 on or before 31 July 2021. If you know of any families who may wish to join our school, 

please inform Ky in the office. We also have some brochures for you to share with interested 

families. Due to current health considerations, Crossmaglen will hold the Kinder Orientation in 

Term 4.  

 

Hearing Assessments 

Last week Julie Plant, an Audiometric Officer from NSW Health commenced the hearing of 

our students. Whilst Julie worked all day, she was unable to test all of our students, so she 

will return for another day. For those who were tested, all results were sent home and I 

personally emailed those who require a follow up assessment. 

 

Health Reminder 

Please remember to keep your child at home if they are unwell, even if they have mild 

symptoms. We will make appropriate arrangements to return your child home if they come to 

school unwell or if they become unwell at school. Please see the advice link below.

teachers, school staff, students and parents.
