Dear Families,

Staffing News

As you may or may not know, Mrs Worley has been a temporary teacher at our school for many years. She has been patiently awaiting her service transfer to come through. I’m extremely pleased to announce that not only has Mrs Worley’s transfer finally come through...but we are delighted that it has come through

right here at Cardiff Public School. We are so pleased to have her join our team on a permanent basis. I’m sure that you’ll join with me in congratulating Mrs Worley on her transfer. On a side note, this will not have any impact on our current

classes for 2019.

The Greatest Show—Concert

Excitement is building in the lead up to our biennial concert. Students have been rehearsing and putting the final touches on their acts, and our lead actors have been busily learning their roles. We’d like to sincerely thank our group of dedicated volunteer parents who have been helping to print the

white T-shirts ready for all of our

students.

We are also very appreciative of the

efforts all of our families go to in purchasing and preparing their

child’s costumes.

It took less than 4 weeks to sell out

b o t h o f o u r e v e n i n g performances—we’re sorry if you missed out. We do, however, still have a very limited number of tickets still available for our

Wednesday Matinee Show.

Celebrating SASS Week

No kids—this has nothing to do with someone being ‘sassy’. Our SASS are our School Administration and Support Staff. They are the glue that holds our school together and we would definitely be lost without them. The next time that you see one of our office staff, one of our SLSOs (teachers’ aides) or our General Assistant, Mr Dixon, please

let them know how much you appreciate their efforts. They truly

are our unsung heroes.

Hunter Athletics Championships

Congratulations to our two representatives, Riley & Micah, at last week’s Hunter Region Athletics

Championships. Both boys braved the atrocious conditions, and competed so well in their respective events. Riley made it through to the 100m final for his age group, and Micah jumped an impressive 3.77m (all in the pouring rain). A fantastic

effort by both boys.

Lids for Kids—Recycling Program

Don't throw away those plastic lids! They can be recycled to make prosthetic limbs for disabled children using 3D printing. Next time you are planning to throw your bottle cap away, think twice as it can be used to make prosthetics for children using 3D

technology. We’re teaming up with the Judd family in collecting plastic lids. Students can bring them to school and place them into the

collection box. (see more-page 10).

PSSA Finals

Congratulations to all of our PSSA sport representatives throughout the season. The great sportsmanship, effort and school pride shown in every game was wonderful to see. Thank you also to all of the parents who came along to support our

students each week. Many thanks also go to Miss McMahon, Mrs Baggs and Mr Surjan for giving up their time

to help manage these teams.

Have a great week! Mark Kyrwood

Thanks also to the DUGS who came on

Friday and bought an extra something

or a coffee from the canteen and took

part in the activities.

LIDS F R KIDS! Don't throw away those plastic lids! They can be recycled to make prosthetic limbs for disabled children using 3D printing.

Next time you are planning to throw your bottle cap away, think twice as it can be used to make prosthetics for children using 3D technology. Did you know it takes 500 lids to make a limb? The Judd Family at Cardiff Public School, have kindly vol-unteered to collect as many plastic lids as our school community can provide, and deliver them to “Envision Hands”, the company which produce mobility aids for kids Once the lids are transported to Envision Hands' ware-

house in Melbourne, they are organised into colours. Next, they are shredded and then fed through an extrud-er, which produces an ink-like filament. That filament is then used in conjunction with 3D soft-ware to print the mobility aids. Types of container lids that can be recycled include: milk, water, juice and soft drink (only, and NO pop-top lids please!). Could you please rinse the lids and remove the inner seals. A large storage container will be placed in the library for the collection at our

school. Thank you so much for helping out with this amaz-ing project! Lyndal Wallace Librarian
