Principal’s Report Semester 1 Reports Teachers are currently finalising student reports for the first semester (term 1 and term 2) and these will be sent home Wednesday of week ten (28 June).
Sydney North Dance Festival We wish the students in the Junior and Senior Dance groups all the best for their performances at the Sydney North Dance Festival during the last week of term. Performance details are:
Rehearsal for all groups – Thurs 22 June Performance for juniors and boys ‐ Sun 25 June 5.00pm Evening performance for seniors ‐ Sun 25 June 7.30pm Performance for seniors ‐ Mon 26 June 5.00pm Evening performance for juniors and boys ‐ Mon 26 June 7.30pm Morning performance for boys ‐ Thurs 29 June 9.45am Matinee performance for juniors and seniors ‐ Thurs 29 June 11.30am
I’m really looking forward to assisting in the holding room with the junior group and the boys group for their performances at the 5pm session on Sunday 25 June and then being in the audience on another evening to watch our dancers perform.
Northern Beaches Eisteddfod It seems to be a week of amazing performances as I was also lucky enough to watch our three talented drama groups perform at the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod on Saturday. The confidence of these young performers shone through as they entertained their audience with their engaging performances. Thank you to Miss Sheerin, Miss Higgins, Mrs Bettison and Miss Hooper for giving up their lunch times to enable the development of our young drama students and provide them with these valuable performance opportunities.
An extra congratulations to Joel D‐S who was chosen by the adjudicator as the winner of the overall Junior Encouragement Award. Well done, Joel!
Project Penguin What an air of excitement there was in our school hall today as the year 4 students displayed their amazing ‘Project Penguin’ creations for the whole school to see!
The researching, thinking and collaborative teamwork that had been undertaken to produce their wonderful finished products was extremely evident.
Well done year 4! Thank you to Manly Selective HS and Mackellar Girls Campus mentors, the teachers and particularly Mr Jensen and for coordinating this very worthwhile project.
Winter Uniform Just a reminder to everyone that all children should now be wearing the winter school uniform.
Dogs in the Playground Could parents please leave ‘furry children’ at home when collecting your other children from school. The school is very busy at drop off and pick up times and our furry friends only add to the chaos. Lots of children are fearful of dogs and our teachers are also not a fan of droppings being trudged through their classroom.
Multicultural Public Speaking Competition Good luck to our four talented students who will be competing at the Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking District Finals Competition at Collaroy Plateau Public School in the last week of term. Sienna O and Zara W will compete in the junior section representing years 3 and 4 and Finley B and Joel D‐S in the senior section representing years 5 and 6. These four students delivered engaging speeches to win their grade finals, which enabled them to progress to the next level.

School News Northern Beaches Eisteddfod Last Saturday, 55 students performed at the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod. The junior ensemble and senior
ensemble 1 competed in the Group Presentation section. Both groups were sensational on stage and only
one point separated them. Congratulations to the junior ensemble who took out first place with their terrific dramatisation of ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ by Drew Daywalt. The senior ensemble 1 were awarded a highly commended for their moving, self‐devised piece entitled ‘Moving On’.
Later in the day, the senior ensemble 2 competed in the scene form a play section with excerpts from ‘Bedtime Stories as Told by My Dad (Who Messed Them Up)’ by Ed Monk. The ensemble did a great job of bringing the play to life and were awarded a highly commended.
Congratulations to all the students involved. We also thank the teachers who prepared the students for the eisteddfod, Mrs Bettison, Miss Hooper, Miss Higgins and Miss Sheerin.
District Cross Country Results On Wednesday 24 May, 46 runners represented Curl Curl North PS at the district cross country carnival.

Go Blue For Stew Day It is time, once again, to support our local charity, Stewart House!
This year Stewart House High Bounce Balls will be on sale, for $3 each, every morning at 8.45am
outside the office, from July 26 until August 1.(Children may buy as many balls as they would like for their family).
It would be wonderful if all children at CCNPS could come along on Tuesday August 1 wearing blue, (remembering a hat and enclosed shoes), to support Stewart House. A gold coin donation is optional.
Stewart House, at Curl Curl, is supported by the NSW Department of Education and Training, NSW Health, NSW Teachers Federation and the teachers themselves through fortnightly payroll deductions. Stewart House provides 12 day stays for children in need.
“During their stay, children are provided with optometric, dental and medical treatment as well as emotional support. This is balanced with health and educational programs and out of school activities to boost their self-esteem and to promote a healthier lifestyle.” For further details visit: http://www.stewarthouse.org.au/
