At the school the children will also

be completing their preparations for

t h e u p c omi n g Fe s t i v a l O f

International Understanding. This

year the festival is focusing on South

Korea. Our classes have been

investigating and learning about this

unique country and have been

looking at the customs and lifestyles

of the people of South Korea. During

the festival Cowra Public School is

going to participate in the Festival

Parade in the form of a march. The

children will assemble near the pool

and we are asking that they come

wearing a white shirt and blue shorts.

A red sash will be provided . The

children will carry lanterns on a

bamboo pole that has been made

at school. More details will be given

to the children next week.

Another major event will be the

Cowra Public School Fete which is

on Friday, 20 March. We encourage

all parents and community members

to come along to this great night

and have some fun. We are also

hoping that parents will take the

opportunity to assist on the night in

providing some Jazzy Jars, helping

out with a stall or simply giving a

hand to set up. This event is the

P&C’s big event for the year and we

hope everyone will support.

Enjoy the week.

Dear Parents

I would like to start this week by

congratulating the talented students who

represented the school last week at the

District Swimming Carnival held in

Canowindra. Not only did the children put

100% into their events but what really stood

out on the day was the support our

students showed one another and the

encouragement offered, which was truly

wonderful. Many personal best times were

recorded and several of our students will

now proceed to Western Region being

held in Dubbo on Friday, 6 March. With

many standouts on the day by all students,

Isabella Scammell’s and Mac Webster‘s

result of Age ChampionS needs special

mention.

This week we welcome back Mrs Kilby and

have visiting teachers coming to the

school for some professional learning in the

area of L3. The teachers will have the

opportunity to meet with other class

teachers who are running L3 in their school,

which will enable all staff to look and

review techniques and establish best

practice.

Mr Murray will be away from the school on

Friday. He will attend the AECG Regional

Meeting in Dubbo. Mr Murray is a member

of the Cowra AECG and has been chosen

as the Area delegate.

Next week the school is in for a very hectic

week starting on Tuesday with Stage 2

having the opportunity to view a

collection of artefacts from the NSW

Library. These artefacts link with the current

HSIE unit being reviewed on European

Settlement in Australia. Also on Tuesday we

have a group of students participating in a

Rugby Union Gala Day in Cowra.

Following this, on Wednesday the Boys’

Cricket team will be playing Grenfell in the

first round of PSSA sport for the year. Next,

all of Stage 3 will be participating in the

AFL gala day at the park. Finally, the

school will be sending the swimming

representatives to Dubbo on Friday for the

Western Region Championships. A very

busy week.

BAND CAMP

Last week Anja Gower and Madeleine Mulligan attended the

Department of Education band Camp at Lake Burrendong.

Every day after breakfast the two girls would attend Breathing/Gym

held in the Recreation Hall. This was a great opportunity for the girls as

they got to experience new things that will help them play their

instruments better.

Every day they would be taken by tutors to practise their part of the

pieces they were given. After this everyone would come together and

practise as an orchestra for 6 hours a day.

After lunch everyone would be given a break to do recreational

activities such as archery, 50m slip and slides down a huge hill, rock

climbing, pool games and other activities.

Anja and Madeleine could perform some of their pieces from home to

give them confidence in performing.

The two girls enjoyed this week very much and will both be definitely

be going back next year with hopefully some newcomers!

PSSA SCHOOL TENNIS COMPETITION

On Wednesday, 17 February the Cowra Public School Tennis team played Grenfell Public School at Cowra Tennis Courts.

The team consisted of Isabella Scammell, Nashwa Bakini, Courtney Wright, Jayden J. Brown, Lewis McFarland and Mac Webster.

We first played games of singles, then double and followed by mixed doubles.

In the singles Isabella, Courtney, Nashwa and Jayden won their games while Mac and Lewis went down very narrowly to two very

experienced boys. In the doubles Isabella and Courtney played very well but were narrowly beaten, while Mac and Lewis were also

defeated after playing some very exciting tennis. In the mixed doubles Jayden and Nashwa played their best tennis of the day, but

were narrowly defeated. Courtney and Lewis had lots of energy and had some great rallies but in the end they also went down to a

much more experienced team. Isabella and Mac won their doubles game and displayed great teamwork and talent. The score on

the day ended up Grenfell Public School’s way with a close score at the end of 5-3.

The Cowra Public School team showed great sportsmanship and were very happy when they went to McDonalds afterwards. The

team would like to thank Mrs Hilton for organising the team and Mrs Donna Wright for her assistance on the day.
