As Term 2 draws to a close I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the teachers and to the parent community for their ongoing support. Thank you to the community for raising money at our Bunnings sausage sizzle last weekend and thank you to Berowra Baptist church for tidying up the playground. And of course, I would like to say thank you to our awesome students who aspire to do their best in all that they do.
I would also like to say farewell to Mr Ben Hendrie. He has gained a full time temporary position in another school. We wish him luck in his future career in Education.
Mrs Jenni Markotsis will be taking the K-2 class on Fridays until the end of the year. Mrs Jenni Markotsis has done many casual days at our school.
As NAIDOC week falls in the school holidays (4-11 July) we acknowledged this with our students today. Our students were involved in a number of activities related to Aboriginal culture and heritage. The 2021 theme for NAIDOC Week is ‘Heal Country’. Tomorrow the students will be treated to a special Aboriginal performance at 9:30am. Sean Choolburra is recognised as one of Australia's funniest and most enduring Aboriginal comedians. Born in Townsville, QLD, and one of twelve, his comedy is created from a wide variety of life time experiences, stories, and observations.
I’d like to wish our school community a very happy holiday break over the next two weeks. Our students and staff have worked hard this term and all deserve a well earned holiday. Our staff will be returning to work on Monday 12 July, however will not be at Cowan PS for school development day and our students will be returning on Tuesday 13 July.
