Welcome back to Term 3! It was lovely to see all of our Carool students back

at school last week. And what a week it was! Both the athletics field and track

carnivals were held, and the Fun with Math excursion took place. Certainly, a

great way to start the term.

Hayley at State Cross Country

Congratulations Hayley on representing Carool PS and the North Coast at the

State Cross Country competition last Friday in Sydney. Hayley competed

against 80 other competitors and pushed hard in a very fast race to reach 49th

place. Incredible effort Hayley! All that hard work has paid off. Well done.

Your school is very proud of you.

Athletics Carnivals

Last week our small school headed to the half day field events and the full day

track athletics carnivals. Our students represented our school with great pride,

determined attitudes and a great fun spirit.

Well done to the following students who placed in their events.

metres

Katelyn 3rd place 100 metres

Education Week

Next week NSW Public Schools will be celebrating Education Week. We have a number of exciting events that we

will be participating in at Carool to celebrate this event. Please see the flyer attached to the newsletter.

Cooking at school - We need you!

On the last Thursday of Term 2, K-6 students and Mrs Eadsforth used some of our lemonade fruit to make

lemonade syrup and pancakes. It was yummy! It was obvious how much the students enjoyed working in the

kitchen and Carool has such wonderful kitchen facilities. The school would like to make cooking a regular activity at

Carool and we are looking for a parent volunteer (or 2!) that would like to work with Mrs Eadsforth to provide

cooking in the kitchen experiences for all student K-6 once or twice a term. If you are interested, have a bit of a

knack in the kitchen and would like to work with Mrs Eadsforth, please contact the school.

Staff Update

As you are aware Mr Hartmann is leaving Carool to take up a full-time teaching contract at Crystal Creek PS. This is

now happening in week 5 this term. Mr Hartmann’s last day will be Tuesday 20th August. We are very fortunate that

Mr Russell has agreed to extend his days at Carool to 4 days a week. This means we will now keep the K-2 and 3-6

classes separate four days a week instead of three. A more detailed explanation of the new staff timetable will be

available closer to week 6 when this new timetable will commence.

Public Speaking

Carool will once again participate in the Far North Coast Public Speaking Awards.

The Finals day will be held at Tweed Heads South on Thursday 19th September.

Carool will be holding our school competition in week 7. Please carefully read the

attached flyer about our public speaking competition this year.

Playground Award Winner

Congratulations to Eli who is the recipient of this week’s playground award for his

excellent behaviour in the playground. Well done Eli!

Mrs Eadsforth

Relieving Principal

Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a wonderful break and it’s great to see the student’s refreshed for another

term. We have a busy and exciting time coming up.

Last week the K-2 student’s attended our athletics carnival and represented our school proudly. They all tried their

very best in their respective races and enjoyed themselves during the tabloid events.

This term in geography, the students will take charge of their own learning and decide on a place in Australia they

would like to visit most. They will then create a pamphlet outlining all the information they need to get there and

why they want to go there. This includes modes of transport, location on a map, the cheapest way to get there, who

it is most popular with and why we should look after the place.

In PDHPE this term, we will be looking at what it means to be unique and why we must respect each other’s

similarities and differences. This is an extremely important concept for our group of students to understand and will

allow them to gauge and respect their own and others wellbeing.

FUN WITH MATHS DAY

Students enjoyed the hands-on maths activities at the Fun with Maths day held at Condong Public School on Friday

26 July. The aim of this day was to challenge the students to work together, problem solve and think about things

from different perspectives. The students enjoyed working with other schools, building new friendships and exploring

the interactive learning experiences.
