Sayembara Lisan Success
CONGRATULATIONS!!
We had four students from CHPS compete in the Sayembara Lisan (Indonesian speaking competition) finals this year. These students showed dedication in attending practice sessions leading up to the finals last Saturday. I am proud to announce that two of our students will be receiving awards!
Equal 1st – Lucia M MJR
Equal 3rd – Ayaana D MAH
The Award Night will be held at Melbourne High School on Friday, 11 August from 6:00 - 8:00pm. and I am looking forward to seeing these students receive their awards then.
Thank you to all of the lovely helpers who ensured our students were well prepared for their assessments – Bu Browning, Bu Breen and Miss Tait.

Many of you may have noticed the work being done on the north entry to the school at Yarrunga. Our native grasslands project was begun with a grant from Landcare Australia and has been supported by our School Council and Leadership. To celebrate the coming National Tree Day, we are inviting you to come down on Sunday July 30th and contribute to the next phase of planting. Bring some gloves, maybe a hand trowel or rake and put a plant in the ground with us. We will be here from 12pm to 2pm and hope you get a chance to come by.

From Sophie in Sickbay...
A reminder to please consider Flu Vaccination for your children if you haven't already done so. We are currently experiencing high numbers of Influenza B in the community and this strain is hitting young people particularly hard (on two occasions with fatal consequences).
As always, please keep your children home if they are coughing, sneezing or showing other signs of cold or flu.
