Cambewarra Public School Bulletin Page 1
Principals Report Updating Court Orders – Please
inform the office of these orders
Our office staff is busy updating
school records including court
orders that some families adhere to.
It is important that the school is up
to date with this information. Please
call the school on 4446 0038 to
inform the office if your court
orders have changed since they
were lodged with the school or check and see that we
do have a current copy at school.
Seating Benches for the Chicken House
Do you have any lying around?
Our chicken house has been completed by local handy
man Daam. In fact the orchard planting, vegie patch,
worm farm, composite bin and chicken house have
become a focal point of our school. The children are
beginning to make connections about the importance
of becoming more environmentally conscious.
It would be nice to have some seats around this area
and thought there may be some old bench type seating
in gardens that don’t get used. If you have one that
you’d like to donate to the vegie patch we’d be happy
to pick it up. Please phone the school to let us know.
Parking in the Turning Circle-Using the Drop Off
Zone
Thank you to those parents who do not park in the
school grounds. The staff car park is for teachers,
office and support staff ONLY. Please adhere to the
signage at the top of the turning circle and use the drop
off zone. THERE IS NO PARKING AVAILABLE IN
THE SCHOOL FOR PARENTS other than those who
use the disabled spaces and have permission from our
school to do so.
A reminder to our new families that the children can be
dropped off in the drop off zone in the morning only
between the sign posts. The general rule is to move
through the turning circle slowly and drive as close as
possible to the steps located at the front of the school.
If cars are already dropping children off then move
behind the next available spot. Sometimes parents may
need to wait a few minutes to move up into the
designated drop off zone. Please do not drop children
off at the top of the drive way, wait your turn until
there is a space available.
When dropping children off please do so in a safe
manner and as quickly as possible. Parents may move
up to 3 metres from their cars and may have up to 3
minutes to move off, however most parents are able to
move off well before this time.
A last reminder that the turning circle can never be
used to park in the afternoon and is not to be used for
pick up in the afternoon. Please follow this rule in our
school.
World Environment Day – Threatened Species
Competition
Lucas Zerafa has won the Kindergarten-Year 1
division of the World Environment Day Threatened
Species Competition. Judging was tough and there
were large numbers of amazing colourful creative
crafty entries from students in the Shoalhaven. Lucas
did a beautiful craft picture of the Green and Golden
Bell Frog and has won a family pass to the Shoalhaven
Zoo and a nest box for the garden. All artworks are on
display in the council foyer. Congratulations again
Lucas.
The Boy From Oz
The Boy from Oz opened to critical acclaim at the
Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre with 25 of our
students taking to the stage last weekend. Mr Dinnie
told me that our students were a credit to themselves,
their school and their family.
A big thank you goes to Mr Dinnie for organising this
opportunity for our students and to Mrs Mison for
assisting over the weekend with supervision.
2013 Kindergarten Enrolments
It will be time shortly to anticipate and submit school
enrolment details for 2013. In order to complete this as
accurately as possible it will be important to know of
Term 2 Week 8 June 13, 2012
Cambewarra Public School Bulletin Page 2
our anticipated local Kindergarten enrolments for
2013.
If you have a child starting school next year please call
into the office and pick up an enrolment form or call
the office and we can post one home. If you know of
any local families who do not receive a newsletter and
who have a child starting Kindergarten next year
please ask them to contact our school office.
Changes to staffing
I have been fortunate enough to have been given an
opportunity to participate in a Mentoring School
Education Director Program for 3 weeks. This begins
on Monday Week 9 and concludes at the end of Week
1,Term 3. Mr Burns will relieve as Principal during the
period that I am away. Ellena McTavish will teach
3/4B and continue with the teaching and learning
program set out by Mr Burns. I’m sure the 3 weeks
experiencing the School Education Directors’ role will
be an interesting and valuable experience. I look
forward to seeing you at the Trivia night and again
back in Term 3.
Demountable Classrooms
There have been some ongoing problems with the
demountable classrooms. The Asset Management team
have been down to conduct a number of tests. They
have been testing the air quality in the top
demountable, and looking to see if there have been
structural changes due to the ongoing roof leaks in the
end demountable at the foot of the car park
The results of the air quality have come within normal
limits with the recommendation to keep the windows
open as much as possible to allow for cross ventilation.
The demountable at the foot of the car park needs the
roof sheets to be taken off so the work place
assessment team can assess the structural integrity of
the building. This will be completed in the school
holidays with recommendations made once the
structures have been assessed.
I will keep the community up to date with progress
with the results and recommendations early in Term 3.
Have a wonderful fortnight.
Strive for the Highest,
Susan Hilliar, Principal
Trading Cards
Parents please remind your children to keep trading
cards at home. There have been many incidences of
loss, theft and unacceptable trading at school resulting
in students being upset. We would appreciate your
assistance in this matter.
Mrs Mison, Assistant Principal
Boy From OZ
For the parents and community members who attended
the AMTC performance of the “Boy From OZ” last
weekend, you were treated to a spectacular
performance from the cast and students from
Cambewarra Public School.
Thank you to
the fantastic
students who
gave up their
time on
Friday and
Saturday
nights and
Sunday
afternoon to
support the ensemble in singing. “I Still Call Australia
Home”. The audience response was overwhelming and
all the students should feel very proud of themselves.
A big thank you must go to the parents who supported
our performance by transporting the students to and
from the venue and to Mr Dinnie who not only sang
wonderfully but also organised our participation.
Students involved included: Angelina Cusack, Brydie
Honer, Alex Parsons, James Batson, Lauren Singleton,
Laura Baker, Connor Parsons, Lily Carter, Pip Carroll,
James Hardie, Joel Lawrence, Belle Jeffrey, T’blet
Taylor, Abby Patton, Charlotte Graham, Max Legzdin,
Maddison Gossage, Meagan Davis, Harry Bice and
Kye McLaren. Students will be performing “I Still Call
Australia Home” at the next whole school assembly on
Monday June 18.
Thank you also to Mr Burns and Mrs Rogers who
assisted on Friday and Saturday evenings. Mr Burns
has commented how he loved wearing the sequins.
Yours in Music, Mrs Mison.
Asian Study Expo
Stage 3 students recently visited Bomaderry High
School to experience an Asian Study Expo. Several
schools in the area joined together to share highlights
of their studies about Asian countries. Our students
showed artwork,
demonstrated
Korean dances
and played
drums. They also
had the
opportunity to
participate in
workshops such
as origami,
lantern making, calligraphy and painting headbands as
well as viewing exhibits and eating traditional Asian
foods.

local area and live the life of a local. Our group of students cover a wide variety of
interests and hobbies. This is just a small sample of all the students who will be
arriving. Our staff members will be happy to discuss which student might be best
suited to a family.
Hosting an exchange student can be a truly rewarding experience. It allows a
family to experience a foreign culture first hand, be exposed to a new language
and pass on a bit of our own culture. They might even make a friend for life!
"Becoming a Host family for an international student has been much more than we
expected. We thought it would be great for our kids to learn a little about another
language and maybe something about another country. Instead, we gained another
family member and some great new friends, her parents from Germany. We get to
show off our country and learn so much about hers. What a fantastic experience
for all of us.” Melissa, Host Mum
"Being the youngest and the only one left at home I was looking forward to having
another teenager in the house. While Charlotte helps me with my French I help her
with her English lessons and I have taught her many Aussie words and sayings.
We both love to shop and shop and shop..." Grace, Host Sister"
Hosting Kirstine has brought our family closer together. We‟re doing things we
used to do when our kids were little, like boiling the billy, having a BBQ and
baking apples up the paddock. She‟s helped us remember how to have fun when
we‟re working and take time out for adventures.” Sharon, Host Mum
“It‟s been a fantastic experience so far...It‟s been great having an older brother for
our young kids. Simon has been a fantastic role model...Simon helps around the
house a lot. One of the first things he said to us during the first couple of days he
was here was what should my chores be? I was delighted to hear him say
that.” Victoria, Host Mum

Host Families Needed in June-July
Experience Another Culture in 2012 In June-July 2012 Student Exchange Australia New Zealand Ltd will be receiving
exchange students from Europe, Canada, the USA and Latin America. Our new
arrivals will live with a volunteer host family and attend a local school for 2-10
months.
For every exchange student there is a host family somewhere in the world willing
to open their home and their hearts to an adventurous young person. Host families
are what make the exchange experience possible.
I would like to inform Cambewarra Public School students and their families
about this. It is an exciting opportunity to experience a different culture without
having to leave their homes. It's a great way for them to learn about a new country
and share an unforgettable experience with the entire family!
Host families come in all shapes and sizes, backgrounds and ages. Thousands of
volunteer families have enjoyed hosting a visiting teenager from another country.
Many of them come back every year and host again. By opening their home and
hearts, to an international exchange student, families can also:
Make a life long link to a family in another country
Learn about another culture
Share the beauty of Australia and our culture
Gain a new family member
Contribute to International goodwill
Develop a friendship that will last for many years
Our students bring with them their own spending money, health insurance and a
wonderful attitude and desire to learn about their new host country. The whole
family….and relatives and friends….will grow and learn as they all get to know
their new „son‟ or „daughter‟ from another land.
All students have at least basic levels of English, would attend a school in your
local area and live the life of a local. Our group of students cover a wide variety of
interests and hobbies. Our staff members will be happy to discuss which student
might be best suited to a family.
