CANOWINDRA HIGH NEW STUDENT LEADERS Congratulations to Penelope Whatman and Gerard Eppelstun who were elected School Captains for 2011, and Teiya Thornberry and Hayden Frecklington for their election as Vice Captains. The new student leaders were announced at the merit assembly Thursday 23 September, and performed their first formal task chairing the final Year 12 farewell assembly on the last day of term. Principal David Lloyd thanked and recognised the efforts of outgoing Captains and Vice Captains, Gabrielle Upton, Brydon Hughes, Melissa Nash and James Vitnell, “They did an exceptional job leading the student body and raising the profile and effectively undertaking all roles with aplomb! “I would like to thank all parents and community members who joined with Year 12 students to wish them well at the final assembly and formal dinner in the last week of last term. I was very impressed with the professional way the students conducted themselves and the positive atmosphere at both farewell functions. Congratulations in particular to Mark Edwards who led the organisation of both events and to the many community members and staff who contributed in many ways large and small to make these events successful. Good luck Year 12 Canowindra High 2010, HSC starts 14 October!

NIGHT MARKETS NOT TO BE MISSED Following the brilliantly successful Twilight Markets held in April this year, the Canowindra Night Markets will be held next Saturday 23 October from 4-7pm. Memorial Park, on the corner of Gaskill and Blatchford Streets, will again be decked out with musicians, kids fun and produce stalls offering delectable samples of local tastings. The Markets are a showcase for the fantastic food and wine produced in our district, and will give you the chance to meet the producers. The Night Markets are a twice yearly event held in April and October each year. Event Organiser Margaret Wallington commented, “It is a great opportunity for people to come and see the quality produce that is coming from the region. We are not only encouraging people to come to the markets but also experience Canowindra and the many things that it offers. Shops will be open all day throughout Canowindra and we also encourage people to continue on in the town after the event in all of the restaurants and pubs.” The range of producers on show at the markets will include the local vignerons with their award winning wines. Wine will be available to be purchased by the half glass, glass and sales of bottled product on the day. Local food and produce will be available from some of the best known names in the district. Tasting samples of food will be available for purchase showing the varying produce of the region. For the kids there will be face painting and access to the new playground equipment that has been installed at the park. Live Music will be playing during the night so bring your friends, family and a chair to enjoy all that Canowindra has to offer. Come early to get a good spot, and if you wish to kick on with dinner at one of the pubs or restaurants afterwards, it is recommended that you book ahead so that you can be catered for, it’s going to be a busy weekend.

END OF AN ERA Congratulations to Mr Nick Berry who has been appointed to Blayney High School next year, and also to Mrs Fiona Wymer who has elected to take leave and relinquish her position from 2011. Both Mr Berry and Mrs Wymer have made large contributions to our school over many years and leave big shoes to fill. Patricia‐Ann Daniel has been appointed as a maths teacher to replace Mrs Wymer. Ms Daniel is currently appointed at a Sydney school and is looking forward to a better lifestyle in country NSW. To better support the current DET and student learning emphasis in numeracy, Mr Berry’s existing teaching and learning head teacher classification has been changed to mathematics. This position has now been cleared for advertisement and it is hoped the successful candidate will be announced before the end of school term.
