Relieving Principals ReportDear Parents and Caregivers,
It has been another busy week at Ellison PS.
Congratulations to our students who competed in the Regional Cross Country last
week. All of our competitors ran exceptionally well and demonstrated excellent
sportsmanship. Special congratulations goes to Michael Bettencourt who has been
selected to represent Sydney West at the NSW All Schools Cross Country Cham-
pionships in July. Thank you also to Ms Jackson for her organisation as the team
manager.
It was a great pleasure to attend my frst assembly at Ellison Public School
last Friday. Mrs Wallis and 2W did a wonderful job and their item was very
entertaining. Congratulations also goes to the students who were selected to be
Aussie of the Month. These children should be very proud, as they have been
chosen for always demonstrating the values of Ellison Public School.
Our senior students have been studying Antarctica in class this term. We were
fortunate this week to have a visit from Chris Olsen who shared his experiences
of Antarctica. We saw some amazing photographs and the children even had anopportunity to touch ice that had been brought back from Antarctica. It was a
wonderful culmination to the research Stage 3 has been completing in class. Thank
you to Mrs Tailford for organising this presentation for our students.
This week our Senior Dance Group successfully auditioned for the Blue Mountains/
Nepean Dance Festival. The performance will be held at the Joan Sutherland Centre
in Term 3. Thank you to Mrs Nicolle for her choreography and organisation.
I have noticed there is a great deal of lost property in the containers outside the hall.
Please remember to have a look if your child has an item of clothing missing.
There is much excitement at the moment as the children prepare for the Winmalee
Cup. Good luck to our students who are participating on Friday.
Kind regards,
Joanne Curran
