🫟Ngununggula Art Excursion🎨

Our students in Years 3-6 recently enjoyed an inspiring excursion to the Ngununggula Art Gallery, located in the beautiful Southern Highlands. During their visit, they had the opportunity to view a diverse range of contemporary and traditional artworks, immersing themselves in the rich stories and creative expressions on display.

As part of their gallery experience, students participated in hands-on workshops guided by experienced artists and educators. They explored different artistic techniques and materials, learning how artists bring their visions to life. Each student was encouraged to create their own artwork, resulting in a wonderful variety of unique and imaginative pieces.

Excursions like this help our students develop an appreciation for art and culture, spark their creativity, and build confidence in their own abilities. We are so proud to see their creativity come alive and look forward to showcasing some of their masterpieces within our school community.

🌿Enviromentors - In the Bin🗑️

We recently had a visit from the team at Keep Australia Beautiful, who presented the “Enviromentors – In the Bin” incursion. This fantastic hands-on incursion got our students actively involved as they learned about what items go in which bins and how we can all contribute to reducing waste.
A big thank you to Keep Australia Beautiful for inspiring our students to make a positive difference.

🌿Connecting to Country 🌿

Laiken had a wonderful time at Camden High School, working collaboratively with other First Nations students. Laiken worked alongside primary and high school students to design and build their own shelters, collaborating to create some impressive structures.

🌟Oztag Championships🌟

Last Friday, 11 students proudly represented Cawdor at the Oztag Championships. Our junior boys’ teams played exceptionally well, showcasing amazing teamwork and sportsmanship. They finished 3rd in their pool and should be very proud of their achievements. Well done, Cawdor!

🌟Principal Learning Walks🌟

Last Wednesday, we had the pleasure of hosting Principals Learning Walks. Gary, our DEL, along with Robyn from Douglas Park Public School, Nathan from Oakdale Public School , and Nic from Camden Park Environmental Education Centre, visited us. They had the opportunity to observe our students in action during their literacy groups. It was a fantastic chance to share our teaching practices and celebrate our students' learning.

✨ Yesterday afternoon, we hosted our very first Fathering Project event: Paper Planes and Pizzas. ✈️🍕

Fathers joined their children to craft paper planes and then competed in a fun flying competition. After the excitement, everyone enjoyed some delicious pizza together.

The Fathering Project is committed to enhancing children's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing by promoting positive, engaged fatherhood. It focuses on fostering a collaborative family environment where both fathers and mothers are recognised and supported as equal partners in parenting.

Their mission? To educate, connect, and mobilise fathers, father figures, and families to build brighter futures for children.

Thank you to all the dads and kids who made this event so special — we look forward to many more! 💙

Yesterday we welcomed the first day of winter with a cosy PJ m***i day. Students loved wearing their winter woolies and enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate to keep them warm. It was a fantastic way to kickstart the season together ❄️☕🧦

🌟Congratulations to Moses, Nate, and Hendrix for their fantastic sentence writing skills. They loved sharing their wonderful work with Mrs. Sivell. Keep up the great effort.
