Sun Safety at Crossmaglen
On Tuesday 18 February we are celebrating
being a SunSmart School. Staff and
students are encouraged to wear yellow to
school as we learn about positive sun
protection behaviours.
Students will learn about Sid the Seagull
and the 5 “S” - Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and
Slide.
We will also focus on sun
protection behaviours
and how to minimise UVR
exposure.

From the Principal __________________________
Dear Parents and Friends of Crossmaglen Public School,
Last week we played with cardboard boxes during break times. This was a wonderful time to
watch our students collaborate and develop their interpersonal skills as they learnt with and
from their friends. Observing those who attempted to contribute constructively as well those
who were able to add to the strength of a team. For some, yes it looked like a pile of boxes,
for me it really was a learning community flourishing right before our eyes.
The daily discussion was about the name - should it be called a fort or a castle? Even Glenn,
our neighbour, saw our post on Facebook and added to the boxes - thanks Glenn.
Mrs Dutton
Thank you to Mrs Daphne Dutton, who made and donated beautiful pot holders for the Kids in
the Kitchen program.
They were put to good use during Kids in the Kitchen on Friday.
Reading
Last year we had the ever successful Reading Tree with monkeys. This year, students are
bees, landing on flowers as they work their way back to the beehive. We have moved the
display so all students can reach to move their very own bee. Please come into the office and
have a look at all the bees ready to pollinate the flowers.
The reading program is identical to last year, every student reading with an adult at school.
Each individual student is assessed, recorded and read with. Please ensure you are supporting
this program by reading with your child at home. If the text is sent home again, this is called
a familiar read and a great opportunity to improve fluency. If the reader requires your
assistance, what a wonderful opportunity for you to assist your child or even read it to them.
P&C
Thank you to the parents who attended the P&C meeting last week. It is wonderful to listen to
feedback and suggestions from others and hear notions of thanks and appreciation to our
teaching staff.
It is also an opportunity for me to keep our community informed on school life and our current
building status. I would love for every family to be represented during these meetings as it
provides a wonderful opportunity to listen to new ideas and expand our connections into the
community.
The Smith Family
Graeme Grice coordinates a program called ‘Saver Plus’ which is delivered by The Smith Family
in the Coffs Harbour area. The goal of the program is to ‘assist participants develop a savings
habit’ and to also ‘ assist participants squeeze the most from the household budget’. The
program rewards participants with ‘dollar for dollar’ matching, up to $500, of what
participants save over a 10 month period, saving $12.50 a week will get one to $500 in 10
months. At the end of the 10 months participants will have $1000, and the $500 from Saver
Plus is to be used towards any educational or developmental costs for children in school. Items
covered include, uniforms, excursions, laptops and tablets, subject fees and any
extracurricular activities such as swimming lessons, sports, tuition, music and dance etc.
Saver Plus will also cover any equipment required for these activities. Please see the flyer at
the end of this newsletter - eligibility criteria is included.
Coffs Harbour City Council
Coffs Harbour City Council were
proud to support Crossmaglen in 2019
with a MAD Green Grant.
They have published our results on
their Facebook page.

Kids in the Kitchen____________________
Last Friday, Kids in the Kitchen was run by our Kinder and Year 1. The students
made: ● Bacon, Pumpkin and Zucchini
Frittata ● Herb Bread
● Blueberry Muffin
The students in the Grey Cottage learnt how to make bread from scratch. They also harvested and used school grown
herbs.
Year 1 students used their knife skills for the pumpkin, bacon and zucchini frittata. Everyone asked for seconds and thirds!!
Year 1 leaders perfected their measuring skills to make GF blueberry muffins.
