Relieving Principal’s Report

Welcome to our new families. Happy SAS week! This is our opportunity as a school community to acknowledge our SAS staff and the wonderful job they do throughout the year. On behalf of the staff and students, thank you! Parents we encourage when you are collecting your child/children from the front of the school at the end of the day, please be visible so that your child/children can see you. Students from 3-6 will exit the front gate first, followed by K-2 students. We encourage students to stay in the school grounds with a teacher if they can’t see their parent/carer. Donna and I will be going to each classroom on Friday to present the special awards. Donna will upload photos of students who have permission to publish. Community members have contacted the school concerned about students running across the road in front of cars. Students are reminded to use the crossing to cross Blakey Street and follow the road safety rules.

Use pedestrian crossings when possible Find a safe place to cross the road Stop! Look! Listen! Think! every time you cross the road If traffic is coming, let it pass When it is safe, walk straight across the road

A reminder that the Athletics Carnival is on Friday in week 7. Only stu-dents participating will be attending. Hopefully the weather will be lovely on the day!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of taste, and loss of smell), even mild symptoms (may include runny nose, headache, muscle or joint pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, loss of sense of smell, altered sense of taste and fatigue) should not be at school. Students and staff who are unwell and present with these symptoms must organise to be tested for COVID as soon as possible. Before returning to school, a copy of the negative test result should be provided to the school. Thank you for adher-ing to the Department of Education regulations.

This week we have been focusing on ‘Using a polite voice’ for PBL. Students are to be congratulated on following the expectations. I have noted this when visiting classrooms during the week

Enjoy the rest of our short week. Stay safe and keep warm! Mrs Jenny Manns Relieving Principal

Cobar Public School Uniform update:

We would like to inform parents and carers that as of the start of Term 4 2020 we will be

phasing in a new Cobar Public School dress and black skort for the girls.

The new dress and skort comes in a variety of sizes that will accommodate all our

students. The change has come about because we need to provide more cost effective

uniform items for our students.

The new school dress will sell for $22.00 compared to our current dress of $43.00.

The new school skort will sell for $22.00—$25.00 as compared to the current skort selling

currently at $36.00.

During the phasing in period of two years, students may continue wearing the existing

school dress and skort until the end of T4, 2022. From 2023, the current dress and

skort should not be worn by students.

If you have any enquiries please contact Donna Prendergast at the school on

0268362039.
