PRINCIPAL’S REPORT—WEEK 8 Congratulations to Mrs McGregor and her class for gaining

the first place prize in the Sam Lewis Peace and

Environmental Award. This competition asked the children

to develop pieces of work that encouraged working together

to promote peace and care for the environment. It is yet

another significant achievement for Armidale City Public

School.

Swim School will be starting next Monday. This program is

for the children in Years 3-6 and is a vitally important part

of the PDHPE curriculum. Swimming is a skill that all

children need to be proficient at, especially with the

upcoming summer holidays. Please ensure that your child

returns all money and has their swimming costumes every

day for the next two weeks.

As the year draws to an end, I would like to remind the

children that appropriate behaviour and application to

learning is still expected at Armidale City Public School.

The same rules and consequences still apply right until the

last day of term.

The end of year is fast approaching. During this time we

are lucky to be able to celebrate the achievements of the

children. This year we will be holding three separate

assemblies to acknowledge the achievement of the children.

The first assembly will be next Thursday at 10am for the

Sports Awards. On Monday 7 December at 10am will be the

Arts Awards and Wednesday 9 December at 10am will be

the presentation of the Principal’s Medallions and the

announcement of the School Councillors.

Thank you to all who have supported the recent fundraisers

held at the school.

A reminder, that this Friday is our Parent and Community

Helpers Morning Tea. It will be held in the Library at 11am.

We would dearly like to see you there as our way of

thanking you for all your hard work. Your support and help

add to a wonderful community feel to our school, and helps

make everything run smoothly! Thank you. Mrs Jodie Ridley

P&C NEWS

So many things to say thank you for this week:

The cupcake stall was a great success. There was a fantastic

number and range of cupcakes donated and the

kids enjoyed spending their gold coins for a treat.

Thank you to all those who spent time making the

beautiful cupcakes and to the grown-up and kid

helpers on the two stalls at recess as well as in the

afternoon. We’ll let you know how much we made next week.

Thank you too for supporting the Pizza meal deal for Oliver

Freeman. We raised enough money to cover the fee that he has

pay to attend the National Athletics. Thank you to Madeleine

for donating extra money and leftover items to the P&C.

Again, thank you to the parent

helpers, especially those who

came on both Monday and

Tuesday! We wish Oliver all the best at Nationals!

We’ve had a large number of kids and some adults respond to

the BIG projects survey. Thank you for all those great ideas!

There is still time to have your say about what projects the

P&C should pursue. Go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/

K8ZXMBD and answer the two easy questions. Check the

ACPS Facebook page for easy access to the link.

We managed to cover a number of books on Friday but there

will always be more. Be on the lookout for another working

bee in the New Year.

We invite the Parents and

Carers to stay and be

entertained after

the K-2 Sports Day

as the 3-6 Orchestra

will be performing out on the

basketball court.

This will be followed by the

Drumming Group.
