NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL

This week will be my last full week at Commercial Road Primary. As off Monday 24th October I will based at Morwell Primary on Mondays and Tuesdays and Tobruk Street on Thursdays and Fridays. I will be dropping in at Commercial Road on Wednesdays.

Cathy Hardy will be in charge at Commercial Road Primary until an internal Acting Princi-pal is appointed, with Penny Solomon supporting.

I would like to take this opportunity to say that it has been an absolute pleasure to work at Commercial Road Primary for the last 12 years and will miss being here each day. I look forward to working alongside you all again next year.

MORWELL CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL - ADDITIONAL UNIFORM ORDER DAY FOR 2016

As we have had several parents inquiring about placing a uniform order we have contact-ed our uniform supplier, L.W. Reid and they have kindly agreed that we can place one last order for 2016. However as you missed L.W. Reid’s initial ordering cut off period of Wednesday 14th September 2016 you will now have to pay the addition cost of the logo printing.

We will be holding this final uniform order session for 2016 on:

Friday 11th November at 10:00am to 11:00am

Morwell Central Primary Performing Art Centre,

BOOK CLUB

On Friday the 14th October, our school participated in a Walk For Water. The day’s purpose was to raise money for water filters for the remote schools in East Timor. The day was a huge success and everyone enjoyed themselves. The students walked laps of the oval ne-gotiating a few obstacles along the way. Thank you to everyone who donated or spon-sored, Andrew Mahar is very thankful for our efforts.

WALK FOR WATER

Our last Commercial Road’s Got Talent will take place on Monday, November 28 in the Multi-Purpose Room at 9:00am.

If your child would like to audition, and they have Music on Wednesdays, their audition will take place during their Music session on Wednesday the 2nd of November. Those students who are going to Sports Camp and would like to audition will need to negotiate another time with me.

If your child has Music on Tuesdays, their auditions will take place during recess on Thursday, November 3 and recess on Friday, November 4.

It is important that the students practice their item, know the words/steps/music and bring along every-thing they need. Costumes will be required. Please do not buy new clothes for this.

Some points to remember are:

All Prep to Grade 6 students are welcome to audition but it is not compulsory All items must be solos- no duets or groups The top 12 acts in the school will be chosen for the Grand Final Students may sing, dance or play an instrument or do a combination of these Some of the things the judges will be looking for are facial expressions, movement, good microphone

technique, tuneful voices and the X factor

Commercial Road’s Got Talent always proves that we have amazing talent in our school. We are really looking forward to seeing our students perform and giving it their all for our last competition as Commer-cial Road Primary.

Please see me if you have any questions.
