Calrossy Primary 

Message from the Head of Primary - Miss Claire Dalziel

Over the last two weeks it has been a pleasure to journey alongside students and staff at camp. Both the Year 4 Camp at Lake Keepit and the Year 5 Camp at Bathurst have presented  unique opportunities for our children to step outside their comfort zone and challenge themselves. I have witnessed our students being brave. I am proud of them. It’s hard to be away from our parents. It’s hard to go up high on the giant swing. It’s hard trying something new and it’s hard packing away your own sleeping bag! Each time the students were challenged they rose to the occasion, helped each other and showed courage. I am proud of our students and confident to say that they have made memories that last a lifetime.   Camps are made possible by the dedicated staff, who help to create these lasting memories.  Many thanks to Mr Laurence Tockuss and Mrs Beth Dalitz for their incredible enthusiasm this week.  Check out all of the action on the photo gallery on The Hub.

Kookaburra Club

Don’t forget Kooka is fully booked on Tuesday and Wednesday. Changes in the afternoon need to me made through Melanie Archbold. Phone: 5776 5220 or Email: primaryadmin@calrossy.nsw.edu.au

Change in Routine

If your child has a change in their afternoon routine, for example their grandparents are collecting them instead of you, or they’re going home with a friend, please phone or email Primary Admin. Even if your child knows the change it is helpful for the school to be aware, particularly for younger students. Lately there has been a number of students needing to phone home because they are unsure of afternoon arrangements. Please be mindful that making changes to arrangements very close to 2:50pm is difficult as children are winding up the day and getting a message through is harder. Please give as much notice as possible.

Primary Enviro Club

On Monday, the Calrossy Primary representatives for our newly formed ‘Enviro Club’ students were presented with their badges.

This club was formed with the aim that students would create a more environmentally friendly playground and school. The students will be responsible for recycling and popper collection, as well as developing new initiatives for our school that will help to create change for the better and make a difference to our future world.  Each class selected a representative to be a part of this club and with our first meeting already complete, we have many creative ideas that we are excited to start at our school.  

Working Bee - Help Needed

We need some help to spruce up a few things at the William Cowper Campus. The P & F have kindly offered to help and have all the equipment required so additional hands make light work this Saturday, 30 March from  8:00am to 1:00pm.

There are jobs for everyone and all skills, with a chance to give the campus some extra TLC and build on the Calrossy Community. Jobs include: oiling the verandahs, painting games in the primary, painting up the Kiss and Drop Lane and Speed Humps, installing a rainwater tank near the veggie patch, general gardening and painting a chess board in the Primary area.

We will have a morning tea and BBQ lunch with some drinks for all the helpers. 

Contact Michael Wilson for more detail on 5776 5100.
