CSPWA is very excited to announce that we will be supplying the majority of the funding required to replace the lawn on the school oval. This is a project that will benefit the whole school community and has been something the school has wanted to be able to complete for some time.
We have two fundraisers running for the last two weeks of term 2 that will help meet the costs of the lawn replacement.
The first is a raffle. After all the excitement of the Nintendo and Rebel voucher last year, first prize will once again be either a $500 Rebel voucher or a Nintendo switch and accessories to the value of $500. We are finalising the rest of the prizes but tickets will go on sale Monday morning outside the library. Tickets will be $1 each or 6 for $5. We will be taking both cash and card payments.
The second fundraiser is Crazy Hair and Silly Sock day on Thursday 30 June. Students are invited to wear sports uniform with Crazy Hair or Silly socks for a gold coin donation for the CSPWA. Students are permitted to spray their hair colours, wear a wig or create a crazy do. They can couple this with their silliest socks for fun! The raffle will be drawn that morning. Please see flyer attached to this newsletter.
All funds raised for both of these will be going towards replacing the lawn on the oval.

From our Year 5’s
Earlier this term the students of Year Five designed pasta bridges for Design Technologies. The students were given a strict quantity of materials to use and researched different bridge structures to construct bridges that could hold as much weight as possible. The students enjoyed working collaboratively and testing their designs with various weights!

Columba Runners
We have had an amazing start to the season with over 100 students signed up for Columba Runners so far. We are still welcoming members, even if you can only make one of the sessions a week. Sessions are held at Frank Drago oval 3.10-4.10pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Cost is $30 per child, parents can join free! Prizes awarded based on total kilometers achieved over both terms, including those brave enough parents! Please complete the online registration.
This club is run by volunteers. Any parents who are able to attend and assist with marking laps and encouraging everyone, we would love to have you. Those attending OSHC are also considered, please chat to the lovely Jess.
If your child is in Yr 2 and below, they must be accompanied by a parent or older sibling. It is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver to ensure the safety of the students between school and Frank Drago.
