Good a�ernoon Parents and Caregivers,

Thank you for joining us to celebrate our wonderful Student leadership Team here at CSIPS as part of

2016 Leadership Assembly on Friday 26th February.

A�er a number of months of very hard work, our School Captains, Vice Captains, House Captains, House

Vice Captains and Student Representa)ve Council were able to join together for the first )me and be

recognised for their leadership. Both the SRC and School Captains/Vice Captains will be travelling to

Darwin for the ‘GRIP’ Excellence in Student Leadership conference in week 9, before joining other

schools across the Katherine Region as an important part of the NT Learning Commission.

Both as an Independent Public School and a Northern Territory School of Excellence, this is a wonderful

opportunity for our students to lead important thinking across our region and I look forward to their

ideas and applaud their commitment to ‘making learning be6er’.

A thank you also to Mrs Sutherland and Constable Dani who joined our Year 5 and 6 classes this week to

discuss online safety and give them some very important )ps about staying safe online. The ‘Think You

Know’ program is beginning in schools across Katherine and CSIPS had the opportunity to be the first to

work with the Police and Educa)on departments in making sure our students are being ‘Cyber-Safe’.

A reminder that both our School Swimming Program and School Photo Day are fast approaching with

further informa)on available from our administra)on team.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

John Cleary

Principal

Footy Friday

Students from our school a6ended a skills

and drill session at Katherine South last

Friday. We joined all other Katherine

schools in an a�ernoon of fun and skills

rota)ons. Our students did both the

jersey and themselves proud as everyone

displayed our school values. We also

welcomed students from Kintore school

who joined in with all their skills. They

had a great )me mixing it with the other

schools, and if their smiles are anything to

go by, they will be back soon.
