It is hard to believe we are already nearing the halfway point of the school year! It is such a privilege to lead a school filled with talented and engaged students, dedicated staff and a supportive school community.
These are just some of our Term 2 highlights.
Weather chaos
It has been a very interesting few weeks with the weather forcing our school to be non-operational for four days. We hope our school families and wider community members managed to remain safe throughout the week, with minimal damage sustained to properties. Thank you for your patience as we continued to monitor the weather and road conditions, whilst working with the Department of Education to be able to return to normal school operation safely, and as soon as possible.
GRIP Leadership
On Wednesday 28 May our school leaders attended a leadership conference and workshop at Newcastle City Hall. It was an inspiring day filled with learning about the responsibilities of being a student leader- being a role model and a voice for others. Our leaders are now looking forward to prioritising ideas that help others the most in our school community.
Star Struck
This year we have two groups participating in Star Struck, the ultimate performing arts extravaganza! Students have been busy rehearsing dance routines with Mrs Russell and Miss Bultitude, which will culminate in performances on Friday 13 June and Saturday 14 June. I cannot wait to see our students shine on stage.
Sports Update
Scone & District Horse Sports
Three of our talented riders- Ashley, Hazel, and Matilda, represented our school with pride at the Scone & District Horse Sports held on Friday 9 May. With over 140 riders in attendance, the event was a fantastic showcase of equestrian talent and sportsmanship. Our riders did an excellent job representing Clarence Town Public School and we are incredibly proud of their dedication and performance throughout the day. A big thank you to Beck Egan who was Team Manager.
Zone Cross Country
27 brave students competed in the pouring rain at Lakeside Oval, Raymond Terrace. Congratulations to Evie & Arlo who have progressed to the regional championships.
Netball
Congratulations to our amazing Netballers who have progressed to Round 2 of the Hunter Netball Knockout with a close, 16-14 win over Seaham!
Athletics Carnival
Our annual carnival was held at the Maitland regional Athletics Centre. It was a fantastic day, with students competing in track events as well as high jump, long jump, shot put and discus. Mr Myers did a fantastic job organising and running the day, with P&C keeping tummies happy by running the canteen.
