Our sympathy is extended to the Atfield family on the loss of Joel's grandmother last week.

As a blessing each day before lunch Mrs Cuthbertson and Year 3/4 Trust use an active rap prayer to say thank you for their daily food.  What a lovely way to give thanks.

Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

He’s the one we love the most.

He’s cool, he’s hip, he’s quite a dude

And we thank him for our daily food.

So the next time you make a toast

Make it The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

AMEN

Wednesday 4th September

The West Wyalong Show Day is a half day public holiday in our town.  In lieu of the St Mary's Twilight Swimming Carnival, the CEO Canberra Goulburn has granted approval for our school to close for the morning of show day.

This means children and staff will not come to school on show day and gives everyone an opportunity to enjoy a full day at the show.  Bus companies have been informed of this change.

• Hitler's Daughter Excursion - Year 5/6 - Permission note & $14 to the school office.  Due 5 July 2019.  To give permission for your child please CLICK HERE.

    Happy Birthday to

Kayla Edwards, Hamwene Sichimwi, Daniel Tachie-Menson, Amelia-Rose Blampied, Hamish McClintock and Liam McClintock

who celebrate their birthdays during the holidays and in the first week of Term 3.

We hope you enjoy your special day.

5 / 6 Faith and 5 / 6 Hope have been reading Daughter of the Regiment by Jackie French during their library lessons. It tells the story of Cecilia, a young colonial girl through the eyes of Harry, who discovers a hole in his chook house wall enabling him to see the past.

As a literacy task, the students looked closely at the conversation that Cecilia has with Sergeant Wilkes about her future in the colony. The students worked in groups to compose the narrative and dialogue of the conversation that Sergeant Wilkes has with Captain Piper regarding Cecelia's wish to remain with the Regiment.

We emailed Jackie French and sent off our published writings as well as photos of our artworks inspired by the novel.

Jackie's was very excited to receive our students work and she gave Mrs Daniher permission to print her reply in the newlsetter:

Bravo 5 / 6 Faith and 5 / 6 Hope!

CPS Basketball 2019

Our CPS basketball teams are shown below.

  

We still require a manager for the Senior Boys Black, and we can always use more than one manager per team.  If you would like to volunteer, or we have missed you off this list please let the office know.

  

Training for this event will start next term.  Our P&F have kindly offered to pay for the West Wyalong court hire for this training.  More information on training times will come out soon.

    

Our school currently has a student enrolled who has a compromised immune system and is more vulnerable to disease than other students.  Therefore, it is important that you do not send your children to school if they are unwell.

Your child should also stay at home if they have any infectious disease, coughs, runny noses, a temperature, diarrhoea or other infections. For more information about how long an illness is contagious, contact your GP or visit the NSW Health website at health.nsw.gov.au.
