Lovely Email About Isabel’s Osborne at Debating
From Sue Radywonik -Assistant Principal- Barham PS
I am emailing you to let you know of Izzy's enthusiasm and
commitment whilst she was participating at the State
Debating Competition earlier this week.
She was a pleasure to coach and, as she listened
attentively to the comments of the adjudicators and any
suggestions that I gave, was able to adapt to a new role in
the debating team and be pivotal in the wins we had in the
latter part of the competition. Her debating ability was
recognised and commented upon by each of the coaches
that our team debated.
She also worked very well with the team and made many
new friends during the time she was at Collaroy.
Please pass on my congratulations to everyone involved in
her debating training at school.
Kind regards
Cottage By The Sea Report
From Teacher: Miss Hughes
CBTS 2012 was a fantastic excursion and the
children had a blast despite a bit of Gastro going
around. I was extremely proud of them all. Their
behaviour all week was fantastic. They showed 100%
positive behaviour. They were respectful not just
towards me and CBTS staff, but also towards the
general public on public transport and in public places.
One V-Line ticket inspector praised the children for
their behaviour as he said "These kids were
exceptional...best behaved bunch of kids". I
mentioned this to the children and they were really
proud of themselves. The children's bravery,
courage, persistence and teamwork skills really
impressed me too. They all had a go at new activities
they had never tried before like surfing, low ropes,
light house climbing. They didn't give up and by the
end of the week they discovered new things they
could do that they couldn't do before. The most
important thing that came out of the camp was that
they had fun.
Have a great week!
Chris Hogan
Visitors to the school will be impressed by our latest addition. Each classroom and the library, have a new display board, courtesy of the ‘Clever Climate Energy Savers’ program. The boards currently hold an environmental message, with posters designed during class lessons, either by the class or by individuals or student groups. Pictured at left, is Sophie Stringer, the clever designer of the ‘hot’ poster outside 4/5S. The school’s environmental watchdog, Miss Smith, coordinated the poster production, and with help from Hoges’ eagle-eye, ensured they were all spirit-level straight in their new homes.
