A Message from our Principal

Dear Parent/caregivers,

Congratulations and thanks to Rebecca Burridge (President), Caroline

Harwood (Vice President), Leanne Wood (Secretary), Verushka Potter

(Treasurer) who were elected to the executive committee of the P&C

association last Thursday evening.

The executive will discuss the most appropriate time for meetings and

advertise the meeting time via the newsletter and Facebook. If you

would like to join the P&C and have a suggested meeting time that

may suit others as well as yourself, please contact a member of the

committee.

The Grounds Committee were planning to have a Busy Bee during the

school holidays. Unfortunately, we are unable to set a date until we

are able to move the large logs to the junior playground. If anyone has

a contact for someone who has the equipment suitable to move these

logs please let me know.

For your forward planning, attached to this newsletter, you will find the

term two planner. All planned events are advertised so that you

and your family can attend the assemblies and events planned to

enrich our students educational experience.

School events, plans and excursion notes are available on the school webpage www.cooloongupps@education.wa.edu.au, and in the School Space which can be accessed by you Connect login. In the final 2 weeks of term, students will have the opportunity to

participate in activities which are part of the Health and Physical

Education plan for 2018. The Life Education Van visited this week.

This program is supported by ALCOA and the visit to the Bike

Education facility at Maylands is supported by the City of Rockingham.

We thank them for their support of these programs.

Enjoy your term break

Kind regards,

Gail Sampson Principal
