The Great Book Swap – Thank you to the families who have donated books. Please keep them coming in!

This year we will again support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) by hosting a Great Book Swap. The Great Book Swap will be held next term as part of our CBCA Book Week celebrations. To help make the day a success, we are asking each child to donate a book in good, second-hand quality. Books can be donated at any time this term and can be dropped at either the front office or given to your child’s teacher. On the day of the Great Book Swap each class will visit the book stall and be able to choose a book for a gold coin donation. All money raised will then be used by the ILF to purchase books for Indigenous children in remote communities. We hope you will help us to support this great initiative.

Book Fair – Thank you!

Thank you to all our families for supporting this year’s book fair! It was a huge success and we have received $827.12 in commission to spend on books. If you have any feedback about the fair, we would love to hear your thoughts. Please send any feedback to erin.hardwicke@cg.catholic.edu.au

Congratulations

Congratulations to Kye (5/6P) who has been selected to the ACT U12 AFL team. We wish Kye all the best at the Nationals in Victoria in August.

Belconnen Region Athletics

If your child has qualified to represent our school at the upcoming regional carnival you will receive the Compass event on Friday. Please provide consent online as soon as possible. All information regarding the event will be found on Compass.

OzTag Gala Day

Please note that the North Canberra Primary School Gala Days on Tuesday, August 6th, and Wednesday, August 7th will now be held at a different venue.

This is due to the large number of team entries and ACT Oztag needed a larger location to accommodate everyone.

The new venue is Kaleen Playing Fields, located at Birie and Turon Place, Kaleen.

We will update Compass with the field map and draw when we receive it.

3/4 OzTag Training

3/4 Oztag training will take place each Friday at lunchtime. We thank Mr Bradnam for volunteering his time to the role. If your child would like to bring runners to training they can be brought to school in their school bag.

Boorowa Touch Football and Netball Carnival

The Boorowa Touch Football and Netball Carnival will be held on Friday 25 October (Term 4, Week 2). We are now finalising the details, including the number of teams we will enter and the availability of coaches, managers and umpires to assist on the day. Please note that Boorowa is 1.5 hrs from Canberra and parents need to make their own arrangements for transport to and from the venue. The carnival is open to students in Years 3-6. If you would like your child to participate, please complete the Compass consent by Friday 2 August.
