It’s hard to believe we are at the end of another school
year! Thank you to all parents, family and community
members who attended our end of year Presentations this
week; your support is greatly appreciated! The wide range
of academic, cultural, sporting and leadership awards that
were presented to students from Kindergarten to Year 6
was astounding! Performances from the school band, the
Schools Spectacular dancers, Mac’s public speaking award-winning speech
and the school choir were first class and really highlighted the well-rounded
education all students receive at Cowra Public School. A special thank you
to the teachers and Year 6 leaders for their efforts in ensuring each
Presentation ceremony ran so smoothly. With class parties being held today,
I’m sure students AND teachers enjoyed the opportunity to let their hair down,
relax and have fun with their friends!
This week I am pleased to announce that Mrs Sheridan Oborn, Mr Albert
Murray and Mr Greg Garlick have been successful in applying, through
Expressions of Interest, for the three relieving positions of Assistant Principal at
Cowra Public School for Term 1 2017. I congratulate each of them and look
forward to working with them as part of the executive team in the new year.
Interviews were held today to fill another permanent teaching position at the
school, with the outcome of this likely to be advised early next year.
Tomorrow is the last day of Term for all students and our Year 6 Graduation
Ceremony will be held at 2:30pm in the auditorium. I would like to wish our
outgoing Year 6 students all the very best as they embark on the next phase of
their educational journey. I’m sure the grounding they have received whilst at
CPS will serve them very well as they begin their secondary education. We are
very proud of all of you!
Staff will spend next Monday’s Staff Development Day completing professional
learning activities around the “8 Ways of Learning” Aboriginal pedagogies
and finalising class preparations for the 2017 school year. A reminder that
school resumes for students in Years 1-6 on Monday 30th January, whilst our
new Kindergarten children will have a staggered start beginning on Tuesday
31st January.
On behalf of all the staff I would like to wish all families a very Merry Christmas
and a safe and relaxing holiday!
Until next year…
Kind Regards,
Jenny Lewis

THANK YOU
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the school community
and parents for their support and friendship over the time I have
worked at Cowra Public School.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the students, teachers and
parents and it has been a privilege to be part of such a committed
and dedicated team of workers who strive to develop and nurture
students so that they can take their place in society.
To be part of a school that meets and extends the personal and
social needs of students while recognising, valuing and developing
each student to their fullest potential was an honour and I value the
input from everyone over the time I have worked at Cowra Public
School.
Thank you everyone and have a wonderful Christmas and a great
New Year.
