Cowes Primary School

Currently, Miss Milne is in Thailand visiting Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School as part of the Asean Bridge Program.
Some of our school community may remember Ju, who visited Cowes Primary School last year. Since then, Ju and Miss Milne have continued collaborating throughout the year—sharing teaching practice, ideas, and building meaningful cross-cultural connections between our schools.

We’re so excited for this incredible opportunity and can’t wait to hear about all that Miss Milne learns and brings back from her visit!

Today is National Sorry Day.

At Cowes Primary School we respectfully acknowledge the Boonwurrung/ Bunarong people, the traditional custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the elders past and present of the Kulin nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people.

This morning Wryker and Sophie lead us in a tribute and minutes silence, to mark this important day.

National Sorry Day is a significant day for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly for survivors of the Stolen Generation. The idea of holding a ‘Sorry Day’ was first mentioned in the recommendations from a report called ‘Bringing Them Home’, which was presented in Parliament on the 26th of May, 1997. This report was the result of a National Inquiry into the forcible removal of Indigenous children from their families, communities and cultural identity. On this day in 1998, the first ‘Sorry Day’ was held in Sydney, and it is now commemorated across Australia, with many thousands of people participating in memorials and commemorative events, in honour of the Stolen Generations.

On this day, we hold a minute's silence to pay respect to First Nations ancestors who were part of the Stolen Generation.

Thank you everyone. Please enjoy your day on the beautiful land of Millowl.

As part of Education Week and this year’s theme, ‘Showcase Your School’, it has been a pleasure to celebrate the first wave of students who have achieved 100 nights of Reading and Numeracy.

To reach this milestone so early in the school year highlights the dedication and consistency of these learners, many of whom have hardly missed a night since the beginning of the year. We have been incredibly proud of the way students across the school are embracing Reading and Numeracy, with their increased efforts already beginning to show in our achievement data.

To celebrate the occasion, students enjoyed a special Principal’s Lunch at Pino's Trattoria. We thought it was also a great opportunity to support a local business navigating the current streetscape works.

Congratulations to all students who have reached this milestone so far. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of many more students as they reach the 100-night milestone!

We have loved celebrating our Education Support staff today. We can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

Today, our staff participated in a Curriculum Day with Brad Nguyen focused on building our understanding of the skills and strategies that best support our learners in Numeracy.

Throughout the day, staff engaged in professional learning and collaborative discussions centred on strengthening classroom practice and ensuring all students are supported to achieve success in mathematics.

It was fantastic to have our Education Support staff learning alongside our teachers as they play a critical role in supporting students within our classrooms each day.
