World Vision Fun
Congratulations to all 77 year four students who took part in the Kids for Kids
World Vision concert at the Bruce Mason Centre on Thursday evening.
Joining schools from all over Auckland our choir members shared the concert
with Jackie Clarke and Nathan King to provide a full house with a memorable
two hours of music, fun, laughter and information about the work of World
Vision.
Thanks to Sharon Knight, the choir trainer for the CBS choir members, and to
everybody who supported this event by being part of the audience.

CBS Role in RWC Victory Revealed
We can now reveal the role CBS played in the famous RWC triumph at the
weekend. Sponsored by SKIDS, Ma’a Nonu visited CBS earlier in the year on
the pretext of promoting the anti-bullying message - thereby fooling the media
and other teams. We can now disclose this was merely a smoke screen for the
real purpose of the visit, namely to gain unique tournament winning advice from
our hitherto undercover RWC brains trust.
Two of the now unmasked members of the brains trust, Cushla Dyson and
Rachael Aitken, with Ma’a following an ‘off the record strategic briefing’ for Ma’a
and the team. While we don’t know what was said, it must have worked because
you can’t argue with a scoreline of 34 - 17.
Ma’a is taking notes and likes what he is being
told (note the smile)as the younger members
of our brains trust talk tactics. It is believed
that this was the moment Ma’a was told what
to do if he got an off load from SBW at the
start of the second half in the RWC final.
From all of us at Campbells Bay School,
congratulations to the All Blacks for winning
and for being good winners.
Ticket Purchases for APPA Choir Festival
Tickets for our big night are still available from Ticketmaster - just enter ‘Town
Hall’ in the search engine and the event will come up.
We look forward to seeing you all there on Wednesday 18 November - it’s going
to be an awesome evening!!
A notice regarding the evening arrangements will be sent home with your choir
member this week.
Jenny Watt
APPA Choir Trainer
Leaving no stone unturned, SKIDs
provided the all-important
nutritional advice (with nobody in
the SKIDS team answering to the
name of Suzie - remember the
conspiracy theory:1995?)
The until now unheralded
undercover CBS office RWC
advisory team following an off the
record meeting with Ma’a. Given
Cushla Dyson’s proficiency in
dance moves it is believed this is
where she helped Ma’a perfect his
‘twirl when tackled’ to gain
additional meters. Kathy, our
much loved Aussie, although in
the photo, was obviously not part
of the advisory team. No surprises
there.

Carless Day Challenge
Wednesday 11 November
On Wednesday 11 November Room 9 is challenging CBS families to avoid using their cars to drop children in the bus
bay. It is a ‘Carless Day Challenge! It is a Travelwise challenge!
It will be ‘Wacky Wednesday’!
We want to give Mr McGowan a day off! If you have to deliver the children to school by car then please drop them off
safely in Aberdeen Road, Beach Road or East Coast Road.
Can we eliminate cars from the bus bay? Yes we can!
You can’t be in the draw for ‘Wacky Wednesday’ prizes if you are spotted getting out of the car in the bus bay.
Be Travelwise! Walk, bike, scooter, skate, bus, rideshare or use the Walking School Bus to get to school. Summer is
almost here. Exercise is cool!
Start organising your family now! Be cool, please be Travelwise!
Thank you Room 9
On Wednesday 11 November, there will be a Wacky
Wednesday held at CBS. Our goal is to be Travelwise and
wacky!!! You can decorate your clothes, shoes, scooters and
bikes etc. You will have to wear your uniform underneath.
Room 9 challenges CBS families to aim for a ‘Car Less’ day on
Wednesday 11 November. Parents if you have to transport
your children to CBS the idea is you drop students in a safe
place in Aberdeen Rd, Beach Road or East Coast Rd. You
could practice this before the big day! We are aiming to give Mr McGowan a rest from the ‘stop, drop and go’ regime in
the bus bay.
Remember to be Travelwise and reduce car congestion outside CBS! If you get dropped off in the bus bay on
Wednesday 11 November you aren’t wacky! Walk, scooter, bike, bus, skate or ‘drop and walk’ to school. Use the Walking
School Bus. Be Travelwise CBS!
Room 9 will give out prizes to the most Travelwise students.
Jay and Room 9
Max the Pukeko is returning to CBS!
Max the Pukeko will be outside CBS during the next two weeks to promote
Travelwise.
Remember Wacky Wednesday, Wednesday 11 November.
Challenge: CBS Max the Pukeko and Room 9 challenges you to a carless day
on Wednesday 11 November. No cars in the bus bay on Wednesday 11 November.
Start practising now.
Drop and walk at an alternative safe spot.
Room 9 and Mrs Taylor

FlippaBall
Next year a new Flippa Ball league will be opening for years 2 & 3. The league will be held at the new National Aquatic
Centre which means that all the kids will be able to touch the bottom of the pool (pool depth 1m - 1.2m) which will help
them gain confidence and pick up the game easier before moving into the bigger pool.
The league runs on Sunday afternoons 14 February - 3 April. As the league starts at the very beginning of the school year
we would like to get an idea of the number of players interested before the end of term. If your child will be in year 2 or 3
next year (2016) and they would be keen, plus if you would be interested in managing or coaching a team or simply would
like more information please contact sports@campbellsbay.school.nz.
