A message from James
I’d like to give a big thank you to everyone who wore
their jeans and made a donation to support Jeans for
Genes Day which was held on Friday 7 August. Our
school was able to raise $75.00! This is a fantastic
achievement for a Small School with only 22 students.
Music through the Decades
time last week to visit our school and run a workshop
with our Primary students!
CDPSSA Athletics Carnival
Congratulations to our students on their commendable
performances at last week’s carnival. Our relay team
(Rhauri, Sam, Henry and Ashley) came second in the
Earl McGee Relay and our school came second in the
Handicap Trophy on the day.
Our school has been extremely busy rehearsing our
end of term concert that we can’t wait to share with
you. We have also been lucky enough to get our hands
on a portable stage that Wagga Wagga Public School
has kindly lent us, very exciting!
Don’t forget to look at the concert details attached to
the newsletter and make sure you save the date if you
haven’t done so already!

Parent / Teacher Interviews
Melbourne Excursion
Our Stage 2 and 3 end of year excursion has now been
finalised with permission and information notes being
sent home over the last couple of weeks. The P&C
have once again generously contributed $1000.00 to
the excursion which has brought each student’s
individual cost down to $230.00.
Premier’s Debating Challenge
I received an email last week from the Premier’s
Debating coordinator to let me know that Eurongilly
PS has progressed through to the Regional quarterfinals. Go Eurongilly! Our team will be playing the
winner of the Culcairn PS and Sturt PS challenge. Once
I have been contacted by the winning school, we will
arrange our quarter-final debate which will need to be
completed by 2 September.
I would also like to thank Mrs Heather Collins (a retired
teacher and PDC adjudicator) who volunteered her
On Thursday 3 September we will be having
Parent/Teacher Interviews throughout the day with
Miss Madden and myself. If you would like to make an
appointment to find out how your child is going both
socially and academically, or if you are having any
concerns, please fill out the attached form, indicating
times preferred.
CWA Luncheon
Our students and staff enjoyed another fantastic CWA
Luncheon on Tuesday 4 August. It was also a great
opportunity for our students to learn more about the
country of student, Italy. Kate Brabin shared a
wonderful Power Point presentation that we all
enjoyed. We would also like to give the CWA a big
thank you as well!
