Year 3 and 4 Fun Athletics Day
Year three and four Fun Athletics Day is on Tuesday 15 December from 9:00am until 12:05pm.
Please ensure your child is well prepared for a morning of outside activity - school sunhat, sunblocked and drink bottle
filled with water.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.
Concerts
A reminder, the concerts will be held on Monday 14 December come rain, hail or (hopefully) sunshine.
OUTSIDE CONCERT PLANS
Years 0 - 2: All students to assemble on the netball court at 4.45pm in readiness to walk into position on the bank in the
corner of the field. The concert will start at 5.00pm. At the conclusion of their concerts year 0 - 2 students will be walked to
a vacant area of the field to be reunited with parents :)
Years 3 - 6: All students to assemble on the netball court at 5.15pm in readiness to walk into position on the bank in the
corner of the field. The concert is expected to start at about 5.30pm. It is expected this concert will be completed by
about 6.20 pm.
INSIDE CONCERT PLANS - the plans we hope we won’t have to use
Years 0 - 2: All students assemble in the hall at 4.45pm for concert to start at 5.00pm.
Years 3 - 4: All students assemble in the hall at 5.3 pm for concert to start very shortly thereafter.
Years 5 - 6: All students assemble in the hall at 6.05pm for concert to start very shortly thereafter.
If we have to have the concerts in the hall we will have to compromise the quality of the experience. We will do our best
and we ask for your tolerance and understanding for a decision (to hold the concerts inside) that is beyond even our
control!
All students are requested to wear Christmas-coloured clothing using the white, red and green theme. However, a
combination of all colours is NOT required and there is no expectation new clothing will be purchased!
Christmas/festive-type head wear is perfectly fine, reflecting what we hope to be a fun filled event.
Other Events on the Night
Thanks to the Friends of Campbells Bay School, the evening should be a family fun event with plenty to do (and eat).
Please see the attachment to the newsletter that outlines these events.
Market Day - Friday 11 December
The Market Day run by year five and six students is this Friday from 10.00am to
2.00pm, raising money for the school.
Children are invited to bring their pocket money (please only bring coins,
no large notes.
There will be lots of fun things to try:
Face Painting
Café
Beauty Salon
Go Carts
Golf
Tomorrow a permission form will come home for those students who would like their faces painted or makeup applied.

CBS Book Week
Our school Book Week was a huge success. The aim for the week was to promote literature and help develop a love of
reading. This was evident around the school from the buzz in the air and sheer excitement about books. Throughout the
week children enjoyed visits from Tony Williams, Des Hunt, Mark Sommerset, Tamsin Worsely, Peter Millett, Winnie the
Witch and Jenny Watt with her musical story. Competition was hot as every class decorated their class door in the theme
of their favourite book. Well done everyone. They looked amazing. The grand finale to our week was the book character
parade last Friday, where both teachers and students showcased their favourite book character. Each class selected one
lucky winner who received a book of their choice kindly donated by Scholastic Books.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for supporting another successful Book Week. We sold just over
$18,000 worth of books and with the $6,000 proceeds our library will receive hundreds of new books as well as books
kindly donated from many families. Thank you very much FOCBS for their hard work and support with running this event.
A special thank you to our parent volunteers Jocelyn DeSuza, Tash Bartlett, Catherine Young, Lucy Knight, Stephanie
Houliston, Georgina Nicholson, Sonette de Koster, Alice Rong, Sophie and Jen. In particular, a special thanks to Tracey
Smith who spent many hours organising author visits, grandparents day, book fair set up and pack up as well as being
there daily to help sell books and share her valuable knowledge with parents. We couldn’t have done it without all of
these volunteers.
Here are some photos from Book Week 2015.

Grandparents’ Day
Grandparents morning was a highlight of Book Week. It was delightful seeing proud grandchildren leading their equally
proud grandparents and special visitors around the school. The children and teachers thoroughly enjoyed having the
opportunity to share some work from throughout the year as well as spend some time reading together. Thank you to all
the wonderful grandparents and special visitors who came to spend the morning at our school last Wednesday and
support our school Book Week. It really was a great morning to be treasured by all!
