Yamandhu….hello in Wiradjuri.

We made it!!! We are now into the final week of Term 2 which has been a massive term with so much happening/. We have had so much sickness, so many absent staff and students, so many sporting trips, so much learning and so many events. Today was the wonderful Stage 2N assembly. It was a tribute to the students current study of the convict journey to colonial Australia. It was an energetic presentation of all that they have been learning in class. Mr Niddrie had prepared the students and they were very polished and amazing in their performance. Congratulations to all the students.

Next Monday our delightful Stage 1 students will host their community fete. They are looking at ways that communities support each other and how we look after those in need in our community. Following on from Jesus they are trying to a build community that benefits all. They have prepared many different activities to run for the attendees for the cost of a gold coin donation. All monies raised will be donated to CanAssist and Red Cross. Thank you to the wonderful teachers in Stage 1 for their initiative to inspire our students to give back to the communities in which they live. It will be uniform free for the entire school. The P & F will be running a BBQ/sausage sizzle as well.

This Saturday at the Vigil Mass the Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred by Archbishop Prowse at 5pm. Thank you to Mrs Maxwell, class teachers and Sr Kathy for their support of this very special celebration.

We are looking forward to the inaugural NAIDOC Gudhamangdhuray Schools Games Day. This will involve all the Cootamundra School students in 2 gatherings at Nicholson Park to celebrate an inclusive recognition of our First Nations community. More details to follow. Thank you to Mrs Sannazarro, Mrs Maher and Mr Winsor for all their efforts in preparing for the day. We will be taking a photo of all the students in Cootamundra at 12.30 which will be another first. It will be taken in the shape of the Cootamundry turtle.

Lat week I sent out this message regarding picking up students from the bus zone. We request – quite strenuously – that parents do not pick students up from the bus stop of an afternoon which necessitates students walking from the kerb between or in front of buses to the waiting cars on the opposite side. This is a very dangerous practice that can have dangerous possibilities. Please make arrangements to pick up children from Morris St or Temora St or again meet them at the front office rather than the Sutton st bus stop. Each afternoon it is very congested with buses arriving quite quickly and departing quickly that we are trying to keep all our students safe all of the time. I would like to add to this that people are especially vigilant on Morris St as well because many children are ducking out between cars to cross the road to parked cars or to walk down Thompson St.

Next week we hope to publish an expose for the term’s activities. Stay tuned.

Please remember that there is always a reason to be kind and that we may never realise or understand the benefit that it may have to someone’s day if we are kind.

God Bless
