CENTRAL TILBA PUBLIC SCHOOL
NEWSLETTER – TERM 3 WEEK 7
31st August, 2011
Dear parents and students
Last Thursday many of our students participated in the District Athletics
Carnival in Narooma. We competed against much larger schools but every child
who took part gave it their all. Coupar and Keira made the finals of their age
race, while Jai finished third in the 11 Years High Jump. Our small schools relay
team of Nick, Jai, Rhonda and Tayla finished second to Mogo and will now
compete in the Regional Athletics Championships in Canberra this Friday.
Congratulations to all our competitors – Jai, Nick, Tayla, Rhonda, Meg, Aidan,
Tom, Tommy, Johanna, Keira, Ruby Ch, Ruby F, Libby and Coupar – and thank you
to Bronwen Kamer and Denise Williamson for helping with transport.
On Friday our Year Six students – Jai, Aidan, Nick, Tayla, Rhonda and Meg competed in the annual Academic Challenge at Broulee. They were excellent
ambassadors for our school, and although they finished second to Bodalla in the
small schools category, they performed well in many areas such as public
speaking, performance, general knowledge and writing. Their performance of
the play ‘The Story of Captains Cook and Phillip’ will be long remembered by all
who saw it! Thank you to Paul Butcher who helped with transport on this
occasion.
The Year Sixes then all took part in the Eurobodalla Braidwood Learning
Community Leadership Awards Dinner in Batemans Bay on Monday night. Our
students were part of the evening’s entertainment, performing ‘Johnny Be Good’
to an appreciative audience of nearly three hundred. My thanks to Louise who
gave up her time to be there and organise our musicians.
TheAwards Dinner also recognised the contribution of a member of each school
with the awarding of a Public Education Ambassador. This year it was awarded
to Christina Potts, whose contribution to our school through her work with the
P&C and our Environmental Education group is immense. Christina is always on
hand to help and on behalf of the school I congratulate her on her award.
There were some tired Year Six students and teachers at school on Tuesday!
Our next school assembly will be held on Friday, 9th September. Items will be
presented by the infants class. It will be followed by a P&C meeting. We will
also take the opportunity on this day for the students to plant some trees in our
playground.
Regards
John Carter
