Crawford Public School

Great day for an Athletics Catnival

Staying strong in first place Team Crawford! Thanks so much for supporting us and keep those receipts coming.

WEEK 2 LEADERBOARD HAS LANDED!

The competition is HEATING UP and the school spirit is seriously showing... we love it!

Crawford Public School is still sitting pretty in first place, but St John Vianney's Primary Doonside has jumped into second, with Doonside Public School close behind in third. 👀

Think your school can shake up the leaderboard next week?

Every coffee run, grocery top-up, lunch stop and little local shop counts.

Here’s how to get your school moving:
📙 Shop at participating Woodcroft Village retailers
📗 Upload your receipt
📘 Choose your school
💙 Help them earn points towards a share of $5,000 in prizes

Tag your school community, rally the parents’ group chat and keep those receipts coming. Week 3 could look very different!

LET'S GO!

Our Athletics Carnival for Grades 2-6 is on tomorrow! We are still accepting permission notes, so please get them in.
We look forward to an amazing day with our students and school community.

We want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Blaxland for her incredible effort in organising the Basketball Gala Day Tournament! 🏀 Her dedication and hard work made this event truly unforgettable.

It is extra special that her outstanding contribution was personally acknowledged by Murat Dizdar, the Secretary of the NSW Department of Education.

Thank you, Mrs. Blaxland, for making a fantastic impact on our school and wider community! 🌟

This looks like fun :)

A special congratulations goes to Christina and Rasyaa, who were crowned our Spelling Bee winners! 🎉👏 Their outstanding spelling skills have earned them a place in the next round, where they will compete against students from other schools. ✨⭐️🌟💫
Bee-lieve in yourselves and keep buzzing towards success! 🐝💛

CRAWFORD PS REPRESENT

This week I was at the Secondary Rugby State Championship tournament in Wagga Wagga and bumped into our 2020 Boys school captain, Sione Tuipilotu.
Sione now at Hills Sports High was captaining the Sydney West side. They were undefeated throughout the week until going down narrowly in the final 15-14. He showed his amazing leadership both on and off the field.
