Thursday 30th School Photos

It has been a busy week but it has been a good one. Having Cowwarr PS here has been fantastic and we are very pleased to be able to host them while their school is being organised. We cannot thank you enough for your sup-port. Students have been welcoming every one and it is truly beautiful to watch.

I hear there is a rivalry in footy and netball between Heyfield and Cowwarr. A game is played to win the ‘Komen-Hollands Cup’ every year. What a great story this is! Lucky it is still Cricket season! Enjoy your weekend.

altogether as we have noticed our

students enjoying playing together.

Cowwarr PS students will still start and

finish school at different times but we

will start integrating our timetables

together. We are hoping to build this

relationship between our school further

and for a long term.

you are entitled to some support

Think U Know session

This session on cyber safety will be

run by Constable Sarah Reggardo in

Sale on Thursday 27th Feb. (free)

Speech Pathologist in School Program

In addition to the support which already occurs

in our school, we will have a speech pathologist

visiting our school to work with teachers in the

early years using a capability-building approach

rather than working with individual children.

They will share specialist knowledge and skills

with educators to support them to develop

strategies and skills to work children who have

speech, language and communication needs.

The speech pathologists will also support

schools to identify appropriate referral path-

ways to address individual children's needs if

required.

These sessions with teachers will take place

every second Tuesday.

Wednesdays

Our first afternoon took place yesterday and chil-

dren seemed to enjoy their time. Junior students

from Cowwarr PS joined in as well.

Next Wednesday will be the senior students en-

joying different activities. They will have the

choice between: Board Games, Outside game,

Dance, Tennis, Card making, Art, Gardening and

more.

If you are able to support us with this, please let

me know.

Getting to School

We have our Walking School Bus leav-

ing the milk bar at 8:15am every morn-

ing unless the weather is too wet.

Students can ride to school but they

will need to get off their bike when

crossing roads and at the end of the

street so they do not bump into pedes-

trians or people coming out of shops.

Riding at a safe pace when near the

chemist and IGA is important too.

Another option is to be dropped off at

our ‘drop and go’ zone, which you can-

not park in.

See us at the office if your child would

like to enter this equestrian event.
