Celebrate Public Education

31 July, 2019 By editor

Education Week is a state-wide, annual event, held during August to celebrate NSW public education. The theme for 2019 is ‘Every Student, Every Voice’ it is a celebration of student empowerment and how the NSW public education system gives students the skills they need in order to have and express a voice during their own educational journey and as engaged global
citizens.

Canowindra Public School will celebrate the week with an Open Day on Wednesday 7th August from 12noon. There will be a free sausage sizzle for lunch followed by the annual P&C Colour Fun Run at 2pm. Everyone is welcome to attend! There is also the Scholastic Book Fair on all week. Enrolments are being taken now for 2020 with Kinderbounce starting this Term and Kinder Orientation beginning in Term 4.

Canowindra High School will celebrate Education Week by addressing the theme for 2019 ‘Every Student, Every Voice’ through different students speaking on what school means to them at the daily morning assembly. Canowindra High School would like to extend an open invitation to parents and family to come to the school on Tuesday 6th August between 12noon and 1pm for a school tour and classroom visit.

Cargo Public School will celebrate Education Week on Tuesday 13th August the school will combine this event with Book Week. Students will be able to dress up as their favourite Superhero on this day. Family and community members are invited into the school from 1.30pm to enjoy an afternoon
tea cooked by the students followed by a book parade, a performance of musical items and stories written by the students. The school encourages the students to show their parents around and explore all aspects of the school.

2019 will mark 150 years at Gooloogong Public School. On Sunday 8th September from 10am to 3pm the school will hold the
150 Year Markets on school grounds. Stalls and events will include local produce, kids activities, live music, historical artefacts and much more. An official ceremony and recognition of 150 years will take place at 12noon.

As part of Education Week, Federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee is encouraging schools in the Calare electorate to apply for the Local Schools Community Fund.

The Local Schools Community Fund will offer grants between $1,000 and $20,000 to contribute to a variety of school projects and associated costs. “The Fund is open for applications and I’d encourage all schools in Calare to think about what they could do with a share of the funds,” Mr Gee said.

The Local Schools Community Fund is open to Government, Independent and Catholic schools, but eligibility conditions will apply, and proposed projects will be assessed by a committee to be appointed by the Member for Calare. Projects could include small-scale extensions or classroom refurbishments, new computer facilities, mental health and counselling services, playground equipment, library resources, or sports facilities.
