Cobram Primary School Newsletter

Principal's Update

Hi everyone, 

 

Welcome back to Term 2! We have had a great start to the term with students settling straight back into routine and eagerly approaching their learning. 

 

We have a lot happening this term and I recommend families keep a close eye on the newsletter and compass to keep updated. Students attending activities outside of the school grounds require a signed permission note, please return these promptly as a lot of time is spent chasing up these notes. Upcoming activities include ANZAC Day, Cross Country, Year 6 Leadership Conference, Winter Sport and Lions Club Youth Public Speaking.

Cobram Primary School is now open for enrolments for 2026. If you or a family you know have a student starting school in 2026 please contact the school for an enrolment tour. We look forward to showing off our state of the art facilities and teaching!

EMMAC Winners

I’d like to give a huge congratulations to 12R on winning the EMMAC award for Term 1. They attended the Cobram Cinemas to watch ‘Dogman’. Students had a wonderful time and enjoyed the movie. 

We are continuing with our EMMAC competition and I would like to remind families of the importance of attendance at school. For every day your child is absent they are missing vital instruction from their teacher. Unavoidable circumstances such as illness are understandable but it is important that appointments, holidays, shopping trips etc are scheduled outside of school hours. The Education Department has been tightening up on attendance reporting and we are required to notify them of the reason for student absences. Due to this I am asking parents to provide a medical certificate when students are absent due to illness or medical reasons.
