Welcome to Hump Week – Week 5 - wait –

what???????? Already???

The time has been flying as usual here - Looking for-

ward to the days getting longer and warmer as well.

Congratulations to all of those who participated in

their events last Friday at the Zone Athletics carnival.

Again our students did their best and again we have

a number moving onto the Regional level which is

great to see. Congratulations to all athletes who

made it to regional, a list of names is in the athletics

report on the back page. Another fantastic effort and

we look forward to cheering you on at the Regionals!

This Thursday and Friday we will be having a num-

ber of teachers attending the “Positive Partnerships -

Supporting School Aged Students on the Autism

Spectrum" Workshop which is being hosted at CPS.

This is a 4 day workshop (split into 2, two day work-

shops) which will help equip teachers for assisting

those children in their class who are on the Autistic

Spectrum. The program involved them producing a

resource that can be used by the school to assist all

students who are placed on the spectrum. In addi-

tion, they are shown skills and strategies about how

to get the best out of these students and how to as-

sist the other class members to support them as well.

Zone Athletics Carnival

On Friday 7th August I had the pleasure to take 29 students to the Zone Athletics Carnival. It

was a great day with great competition in all areas. I would like to congratulate all our rep-

resentatives as they gave their all in every event they went in. It was great to see some of

the events on the track with some very close finishes including some impressive dives to the

finish line.

I would like to thank all the parents for their assistance with getting the athletes to and from

the carnival, it is greatly appreciated. I would especially like to thank Janette Wright for as-

sisting me as Team Manager, without your wonderful help some students would not have

made it to their events. It is great to see the support in which Cundletown Public School has

from their parents.

We have some impressive athletes that will now be representing the Manning Area at Re-

gionals. I would like to wish the following students the best of luck:

Dayna Reynolds: 13yr 100m

Makayla Manusu : Senior Girls Long Jump

Brooke Hosgood: Junior Girls 800m

Jayden Manusu: 9yrs 100m and Junior Boys 200m

Junior Girls Relay Team :

Cassandra Douglas, Ivy Gray, Olethia Chapman and Brooke Hosgood.
