Welcome Back! We commenced Term 3 this week and I take this opportunity to warmly welcome back all staff and students to Kandos Public School. Coming events for this Term 3 include the Primary Athletics Carnival, Education Week and Open Day (Week 3), Creative Enrichment Workshops for K - 6, Book Week, the Regional Final of the Premier’s Spelling Bee and our annual Whole School Performance. More details on these upcoming events will follow in future newsletters. It looks like being a very busy and exciting term.

Playground improvements Staff and students were delighted to arrive back at school this week to see improvements made to our playground area. New patches of concrete have been laid and artificial turf has been placed under the Primary covered lunch area. Cross Country State Finals, Eastern Creek - 26/7 This Friday, 26th July, Emily Gallaher (4/5 Lyrebirds) will be competing at the Cross Country State Finals at Eastern Creek. A proud moment for Emily, her family and for Kandos Public School. Our best wishes for a great day of competition go to Emily.

Athletics Carnival (New date) - 1/8 Unfortunately, our Primary Athletics Carnival which was due to take place today, had to be postponed at the last minute due to Mid Western Regional Council completing work at Kandos Sportsground. The Primary Athletics Carnival (for Years 2 to 6) will now take place on Thursday, 1st August (next week). Tod Morley Principal

HEALTHY LUNCHES A reminder that the task of packing another term’s worth of healthy lunches that your kids will love is made so much easier with Cancer Council NSW’s Healthy Lunch Box website (healthylunchbox.com.au) and new back to school recipes. Adding fruit and vegetables to your child’s lunch box every day is a simple way to ensure children are getting the vitamins, minerals and fibre they need to fuel concentration in the classroom, improve their health, and prevent 12 different adult cancers. The website is full of recipes, tips and ideas and includes an interactive lunch box builder to help parents and children plan a healthy lunch box at home or on the move with their smartphone or tablet.
