Dear families and friends,

Acting Principal

We are still waiting to hear from the Department as to an appointment of an Acting Principal to start in Term 2. They have recently interviewed someone for the position and we will advise you as soon as we know any further details.

SGSSA Athletics 2024

The Year 3- 6 students are training for the SGSSA Annual Athletics Sports (Southern Grampians School Sport's Association) to be held this Tuesday 26th March with a 9:15 start. We have a change of venue this year and the sports will be held at Mitchell Park, Mt Napier Rd, Hamilton. Please remember parents are asked to provide transport for their children on this day.

BYO chairs, snacks, school hats and sunscreen, lunch and drinks. Students should wear school sports uniform (navy polo and shorts). The coffee van will be available.

Cavendish PS is running the boys and girls Long Jump event on the day and we would be really appreciative if we could have 1 or 2 parent helpers to assist us on each rotation. Please let us know if you can help.

The 2024 program is attached below:

Thank you

Thanks to Tim Huf for putting up some of our school photos on the wall in the school entrance after it was painted in the holidays.

A big thank you to Greg Richards and Tony Clutterbuck for the delivery and supply of new sand for our long jump pit. The senior students have been very keen to practice their long jump in readiness for the SGSSA sports next week.

Responsible Pets Visit

Unfortunately, Tucker the dog and his handler were unable to visit Cavendish PS today but have booked in to visit on Friday 19th April. Something to look forward to in the first week back after holidays!

Kids at play

The weather has been sunny and warm the past few weeks and the students have been enjoying being able to get out at recess and lunch to play.

Have a good weekend

Sally Purnell

Acting Principal
