Our Vision At CVPS we are responsible learners who actively participate in our learning.
Kindergarten 2020 Information Night This is a reminder that our first Kindergarten Parent Information evening for those students starting school in 2020 will be held in the School Hall this Thursday, 16th May from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. This information night will contain general information about Cudgegong Valley Public School and all that our school has to offer. Enrolment packs will be available for collection at this information session. Supervision for children will be available on the night but I ask that if you do have young children attending please let the office know on 6372 3466 by Wednesday. If you have any friends whose first child is starting school next year please let them know this event is on and we’d love to have them attend. 2020 OC Online applications for those Year 4 students interested in applying for a place in our Opportunity Class in 2020 opened on Tuesday 30 April 2019 and will close at 10 pm on Friday 17 May 2019. I would like to remind parents who have indicated their intention to apply but have not done so that they should apply as quickly as possible. Late applications will not be accepted. All applications must be made online at www.shsocplacement.org.au . P&C Meeting
Just a reminder that our next P&C meeting is this Thursday in the staffroom starting at 7pm. It would be great to have some new faces join us!!
Enviro Ed Workshops - All Packaged Out Mid-Western Regional Council is supporting our school’s Sustainability Education Program by running interactive workshops, designed and conducted by Impact Environmental Education, with the majority of our classes next week. During these 1 hour sessions students will discover the function and abundance of
packaging in our lives, and learn about how much of this packaging ends up in our local landfill. By identifying the types of packaging their homes and our school generates, students then explore ways to reduce the packaging they consume, and therefore reduce their waste to landfill and their impact on our precious local environment. These workshops are being run as part of our war on waste at Cudgegong Valley Public School. Connecting Country Schools We live in a digital age where our students need new knowledge and skills to succeed in their studies today and their lives ahead. Modern teaching practices require reliable access to the internet and online learning materials. This means schools need strong and extensive wireless infrastructure to support future-focused learning. The 2017/2018 state budget for NSW included funding to improve wireless services and internet access in regional schools under the Connecting Country Schools (CCS) project. To hold digital age jobs our students will need to:
think critically
solve problems creatively
work in teams
communicate clearly in a range of media
continue to learn new and rapidly-evolving technologies.
Improved wireless infrastructure will assist students to learn and grow these skills. Connecting Country Schools wireless infrastructure upgrades will provide more chances for our students and teachers to connect and collaborate. The installation of our new wireless system, including 39 new wireless access points (WAP), 4 of these being new external access points, will mean that no matter where a student is in the school they will have fast, reliable access to the Net. Installation of the new system will take place next week. Fun Run It was beautiful weather for our School Fun Run on Monday morning. Money can still be raised this week which will go towards our school multi-surface sports court. A reminder that all students in Years 4-6 will run the Cross Country on Friday.

Garden Club We kicked off Term 2 last Thursday with a freshly-picked, super crunchy green salad. The variety is ‘Great Lakes’ by Diggers club, highly recommended! After a bite to eat we commenced the final harvest of two summer crops: tomatoes and zucchini. These are annual plants that only live for one growing season. Tomatoes were sorted into greens, reds and rotten! Many of the green tomatoes will still ripen on a sunny window sill. The zucchinis are called Tromboncino and can be somewhat treated like a pumpkin when they turn this beautiful colour (soup anyone?). Class 1R are germinating snow peas in pots as part of a unit on Water in Science this term, so we cleared a spot ready for the class to plant. Garden Club is every Thursday lunchtime 1-2pm. Our AGM will be on Monday 27
th
May at 3.20pm – all welcome.

Tennis
Our school tennis team travelled to Dunedoo last Wednesday. Our team of Skye, Phoebe, Toby, Callum and Jason played some wonderful tennis and won 5 sets to 3.
We had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed competing against the children from Dunedoo. Our team showed great sportsmanship and are to be commended on their behaviour. A big thank you to Cate Simpson for driving half the team to Dunedoo. Well done team!
Dance Groups On Thursday, our two dance groups travelled to the Gulgong Prince of Wales Eisteddfod to compete in the Open School Dance Group section. A huge congratulations to the Infants group for taking out first place, and to the Primary group for coming in at a close second. Miss Fitzgerald and Mrs Priest commend the students for their hard work and personal growth. Thank you also to the parents who assisted on the day. We appreciate your continued support.
Car Park This is a reminder to all of our Cudgegong Valley community that there is no parking on school grounds for parents and carers. The car park at the front of the school is a STAFF CAR PARK only. Can I ask those parents who have been driving into this car park of a morning and/or afternoon to park to please stop doing this.
