Week 5, Term 4

State Athletics 

Congratulations to Chet C, Eli H, Elijah A and George C on their valiant performance at the State Track and Field Championship in the 4 x 100m relay at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park on Thursday 6th November. Thank you to the families for supporting and transporting these students and to Darcy B as our emergency runner – supporting the team every step of the way. CNPS are proud of your efforts and achievements. 

Region Cricket 

Our cricket team are headed to Swan Hill on Friday 14th November for the Region Cricket Final. They’ve continued training together during lunchtimes. We require parents/carers to transport and supervise their child at this event. Car pooling is possible. Please return permission notes by next Tuesday 10/11. 

Bike Education Grade 3-6 

Grade 3/4HC began their Bike Education program during their PE lesson today. Thank you to Dax and Huw for supporting this class with their bike and helmet safety checks and helping with adjustments. Our remaining 3/4 and 5/6 classes begin next week. Please refer to the information and permission note for your class dates and times. At CNPS we value active travel to school due to the environmental, health and social benefits.  

Students will need to bring a roadworthy bike and a helmet to school on their scheduled PE day. We require the assistance or parent/carers to assist with minor tune ups during our first session and safety checkpoint marshalls on our last week when we venture outside the school on to the footpath or road. 

District Kickball Grade P-2 

Our students in Grades Prep, One and Two participated in District Kickball today against student teams from other schools. The emphasis is on participation, fun, personal growth and development. Thank you to our helpers: Charmaine, Meg, Gabe and Nick for supervising a team.

CNPS Titans Soccer Top Missing! 

We’ve discovered we’re missing one of our white team soccer jerseys, No. 6. I suspect it was already missing before this year, but if anyone comes across it (ex students?), we’d love to have it back. Thanks! 

Grade 3-6 PE Golf 

In PE this term, the Grade 3/4 and 5/6 classes have experienced golf as focus for a target sport. We discovered different clubs have different purposes and we practised our putting accuracy and our 7-iron chipping. We also learnt about teeing off, the par for a hole and counting our shots. Enjoy these photos of our golfing activities.
