From the Principal
Our Vision
At Cudgegong Valley Public School we do our best by being responsible learners, who are safe and respectful.
Welcome back I’d like to extend a very warm welcome back to all of our CVPS families and to all families who have joined us this year. We have a very exciting year ahead of us. This year will see us continuing to build on our Positive Behaviour for Learning systems and structures to support our students to do their best by being responsible learners, who are safe and respectful. 2019 will also see a focus on Sustainability with the creation of our Environmental Education Team. We will continue to work with Neilsen the Principal of Red Hill Environmental Education Centre in this area. This year we will be working with the staff in the implementation of the new Science and Technology syllabus with a particular focus on Digital Technologies. So lots to look forward to. Meet the Teacher and Welcome BBQ
This Wednesday all of our families are invited to the school for our Meet the Teacher sessions and Welcome BBQ. The purpose of these sessions is to allow
you to meet your child’s class teacher and see the learning environment, as well as get an understanding of how the classroom is going to work this year. Each session will take place in your child’s classroom. To cater for those families with more than one child enrolled at CVPS there will be two repeated sessions. Session 1 will run from 5 – 5:45pm and Session 2 will run from 6:30 – 7:15pm. Just a reminder that if your child/children are attending with you, we ask that they attend the sessions with you as no supervision will be provided for children. If you have not already indicated your attendance to this event then please phone the office so that we can know what sessions you will be attending. Unfortunately we cannot add any further numbers to the BBQ as catering was finalised today.
Student Leadership This year we have decided to increase our student leadership team to include the introduction of a Student Representative Council. Last week each class from 3-6 elected one person to be their representative on this team for Semester 1. Our eight Student Councillors will lead this team. Our Student Leadership Team for 2019 consisting of our 8 School Councillors, 8 House Sports Captains, 8 House Vice-Sports Captains and our 11 SRC members will be inducted at a special assembly on Tuesday 12
th February at 12 noon. All parents of our
student leaders are invited to attend this assembly. Congratulations to the following senior students who have been elected to leadership positions in 2019. A list of our SRC will be published in next week’s newsletter.
