Drop off - 7.45 to 8.00am Pick Up - 2.00 to 2.20pm Outside of the above mentioned times parents must enter school grounds via the

front office or be invited for special occasions i.e. Cross Country - see below. School assemblies will re-commence shortly with information to follow.

In the ECE area our procedures for COVID-19 have been extremely successful in developing children’s independence and we would like to continue this by asking that you bring your child to school between 7.45 - 8 o’clock. This allows them to settle and begin their day. A huge thank you to all parents who have followed the guidelines, assisting the school greatly during this COVID-19 period. The immediate future requires us to limit to a maximum of 300 people outdoors with physical distancing of one person per 2 square metres and good hygiene practices applied. Kindergarten 2020 and 2021 In second semester we increase the days for our Kindy students from two to three. Ms Liz will oversee the kindy program with support from Ms Mary on Mon and Tues.

The Shire of Broome is in the process of redesigning the existing skate park and intend to extend into the adjacent car park to create a bigger and better facility. We are keen to get as many opinions as possible – particularly our young people.

The survey link is very youth orientated as you can see - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BroomeSkatePark Why not let your kids have their imput!

Cable Beach Primary School’s buildings and grounds are currently enjoying a significant and broad ranging refurbishment.

Our basketball ball court is being replaced, which has been noisy work but will be worth it in the long run. Two entire courts have been removed as the cement was cracked, uneven and unsafe. New courts will be poured and sealed with a sport surface.

Other works include repainting of all common areas to classrooms, cabinetry, replacement of splash backs, replacement of floor coverings to library, wet areas and some classrooms.

Additional work will also include replacing failing veranda purlins, painting of poles and replacement of sheeting. Future work will involve the staff carpark getting a birthday with resealing and getting levels right for run off.

These works will improve the presentation and safety of our school.

Id like to pay special mention to recognise the efforts of our school gardener “Wombat” who claims he does have a good game of golf in him – somewhere. Wombat has completed a garden renovation outside the administration office. This has involved a small retaining wall, backfilling in the garden bed by hand, reticulation and planting out. This space has been transformed and now is an attractive centrepiece that adds colour and shape. A time capsule has been buried in the new garden and a plaque secured stating its location. Thanks Wombat , great job.

The next meeting is Monday

June 22nd in the staff room at

7pm.
