Term 4 Week 1 Monday 14th October 2019
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back for what will be a fabulous Term 4. Please check
our term planner to assist you to keep track of all
the busy things that will be happening this term.
Firstly, congratulations to Miss Robinson, who was married
during the holidays, and is now known as Mrs Langford.
What a wonderful garden bed display presented by our school at
the Living Smart Festival on the first weekend of
the school holidays. We received a special mention from the
garden guru himself, Costa Georgiadis. Thank you to
Mrs McKensey, Mrs Addis, Mrs Payne and Miss Tinsey for attending
on the day.
Thank you to everyone who visited the school during the Open
Gardens & Art Trail on the weekend and to our P&C
volunteers for supporting this event. A special thanks to our
Garden Coordinators, Mrs McKensey and Mrs Addis,
for their ongoing work.
Healthy Harold and the Life Education van will be at school this
week. All classes will have their visit relating to a
variety of units to support our PD/Health/PE curriculum. Thank
you to Mrs Payne for organising this.
Our next P & C Meeting will be held this Wednesday night,
16th October at 7pm in the staffroom. Please do come
along if you can.
Many thanks to those families who have completed our 2019 Tell
Them From Me Parent Survey. The survey will
close on 25th October 2019. The Tell Them From Me survey is an
important part of our school planning processes
and assists our school to better serve our community needs. The
link for the survey is: http://
nsw.tellthemfromme.com/cpps2019 It would be greatly appreciated
if you would log in and complete the survey at
your earliest convenience. This can be done on any device.
Our School Run 4 Fun Colour Explosion will be held on Saturday
9th November in our school grounds. Our
fundraising has been going really well, and we thank our
community for getting behind this event. All of our
fundraising efforts will be going towards purchasing new
technology, iPads and robotics. Please encourage your
family and friends to help us make this our best fundraiser
ever!!! Don’t forget to get your white T-Shirt ready for the
big day!
It would be appreciated if you could let us know ASAP if your
child / children will not be returning to Coal Point PS
next year. We currently have many Kinder students for 2019 and
are chasing the installation of a demountable. It is
imperative that we have close estimates of student numbers to
ensure we will be eligible for the new building and
resources.
If you are considering applying for a Selective High School for
your child for Year 7 2021, applications are now open
and close at 10pm on Monday 11th November 2019. Applications
must be lodged before the deadline at https://
education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/selective-high-schools-and-opportunity-classes/year-7
There will be NO Primary Choir this Thursday, Primary Choir will
re-commence next Thursday at 8am.
School Banking will be collected this Thursday morning.
A reminder to all band students that this Friday will be the
last rehearsal before Bandfest next Wednesday, so it is
most important for all students to attend and bring your
instrument.
Kind regards,
Ms Kim Creswell - Principal
We are still accepting donations of plastic bottle caps for our
artwork. Please hand in at the office. Thank you.
