1 July 2019 Week 10, Term 2, 2019
FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK: Dear Parents and Friends of Cawdor PS
The end of term is almost here and everyone is looking forward to a restful holiday.
Term 2 has been an excellent ten weeks of student learning and achievements and I am
very proud of the effort that all of the children have made throughout the term.
The Footsteps disco was greatly enjoyed by the children last Thursday night. A big thank
you goes to Mrs Hillier for organising the pizza orders and the booking of the church hall
as well as buying the drinks and icecreams for the night. Thank you also to Mrs Kidd, Mrs
Lewit, Mrs Forbes, Mrs Turner and Mrs Sitkowski who came to help with the disco. We
really appreciate them giving up their evening with their families. Thanks also to the
parents who helped out on the night.
Last Friday the years 3 to 6 played in the final soccer gala day and I was very fortunate to
arrive at the fields just as the senior boys and senior girls won their last matches.
Congratulations go to the junior boys who came very close to winning their tournament.
Thanks again to Mrs Kidd, Mrs Sitkowski, Mrs Turner and Mrs Fahri who accompanied
our teams to the events.
Semester one student reports were sent home today and the parent/teacher interviews
will mainly be held tomorrow afternoon/night. The teachers are looking forward to
meeting with you to discuss the children’s progress. If you have not yet made an
interview time, please speak to Mrs Hillier in the morning. I also encourage you to write
a comment on your child’s report—the teachers and children really value your feedback
on the children’s progress.
The selection process for the new principal is still underway but I am hoping to be able
to have a handover to the new principal during the holidays. I will notify everyone by
email and School Stream as soon as I have confirmation of an appointment.
Finally, as this is my last newsletter to you, I would like to say thank you to everyone –to
all parents, carers and staff, thank you for your continued support and friendship. It has
been an absolute privilege to have been part of such a wonderful school community for
so many years. To all the students, I am very proud of each one of you and it has been a
delight to work with you in my final year at Cawdor.
Cawdor will always have a special place in my heart.
I wish everyone a relaxing and safe holiday and all the very best for the remainder of
2019.

GALA DAY SOCCER
The Junior and Senior boys soccer teams had a great time at the Gala Days. Their skills
increased incredibly over the 3 Fridays and they displayed great attitudes throughout. Whether
we won or lost, the children all displayed good sportsmanship towards the other teams and each
other. Our player of the day awards went to Noah, Hewson, Cooper, Attilio and William. Our top
scorers were Noah and Hewson. Overall, we only lost 5 games out of 26. The junior boys did
particularly well. They were in first place after the second Gala Day and finished up coming third
overall. All the students did a fantastic job representing the school. Well done!
Congratulations to the Junior and Senior girls soccer teams for displaying fantastic
sportsmanship, participation and soccer skills throughout the three gala days. Both teams
experienced wins, draws and losses and showed continued determination right to the end of
every game. It was very hard to choose just one player of the day for each team as there were
so many deserving players, but congratulations to Sofia, Jacklyn and Zara in the seniors and
Lillie, Megan, Arwen and Ameya–Blossom for the juniors. Our top goal scorer was Lillie who
scored goals for both the junior and senior teams, with additional goals being scored by Zara,
Jessica, Sofia and Ameya-Blossom. It was wonderful to see the continued improvement of all
players over the three days of competition. Well done everyone!
