WOW...WELL DONE! On Friday 19 August Canowindra High School Students got their heads together to raise awareness for Brain Injury. The kids wore either a blue branded bangonabeanie beanie or a hat to show their support. The cause is close to the schools heart as their much loved Canteen Manager Sue Townsends grandson sustained a major injury last year, that left him with an ABI. The school raised over $1,300 for Brain Injury Australia and are hoping to push it a little further. Beanies are still available at businesses in town or by contacting Kim Roberts on 0407 078 433. There are also T-shirts available, and with Fathers Day coming up why not deck dad out and help a great cause at the same time. If you have a beanie take a photo of yourself wearing it and upload it to www.bangonabeanie.com.au on Facebook and you could win a holiday to Bargara Resort in Qld or an iPod Touch, just to name a few prizes that are up for grabs. A big congratulation to Canowindra High School for doing such a fantastic Job.

It was good news for Year 10 students with the P&Cs decision to extend the cessation of Year Shirts, and that this will be the last year for commemorative jerseys. Now that students are required to continue on to the senior years, it was thought that it was no longer necessary to have the shirts, however kudos are in order for the committee for listening to the students and parents. So enjoy Year 10 students, this is an end of an era. Whilst still on a high, this Thursday Year 11 students interested in campaigning and being elected as School Captains for 2012 will participate in a Leadership Day. These students will investigate what leadership is, strategies, and how they can use their understandings to ensure they are effective and vibrant captains for our school over the next 12 months. In the following week students will speak to the whole school about what they see as the role of captain and have the opportunity to campaign before the captains are popularly elected. We wish all potential candidates good luck!

There will be section or event for everyone this year, keep your eyes out for the Schedule. WIT WANTED YOU are eagerly invited to enter the Canowindra Health Centre Fitness Path Project Slogan Competition.

An example is Swap talk the talk for walk the walk. The 2.5m wide fitness path is being planned for the perimeter of the top oval and we are looking for a memorable and catchy slogan for this project, . A great prize is up for grabs for the winner a $50 IGA voucher generously sponsored by the Phoenix. So get your thinking caps on and email you ideas to the Phoenix at admin@canowindraphoenix.com.au or on 0418 413 753.
