term and you will remain part
of our Nowendoc school fam-
ily. Leisha and Paul, we wish
you well on your new adven-
ture.
As the term ends I am drawn
to include this photo in the
final edition. I love it! It just
captures our ethos; Creativi-
ty, Collaboration and Care.
Have a safe and relaxing
Easter holiday and may the
sun continue to shine.
Keep smiling!
Thank you Lis, Lana, Hugh,
Parker, Emily, Phoebe, Lu-
cas Mrs Worth, Mrs Lock,
Mrs Higgins, Mrs Bullen, Mrs
Lyon, Mrs Callaghan, Max
Holstein, Nigel and Danielle
Robards, Catharine Doherty
and Beau Holstein, Rob and
Belinda Laurie, Paul and
Leisha Clifford and Mick
Bourke for a terrific first term.
Be warned that Lis may
come hunting for star talent
from our community for her
term 2 project, The Great
School Showoff, media com-
petition.
Our final two weeks has seen
the glorious autumn sunshine
continue to brighten our
days. AND sent our vegeta-
ble garden into a frenzy.
Rob’s soil , Mary’s worms,
the children’s exuberance
and Mick’s preening have
proved a very compatible
combination.
Monday saw our first harvest
of our Cos and Butter lettuce.
It seemed quite brutal pulling
them out as they have
brought a smile to my face
every morning. They contin-
ued to bring smiles as they
were drizzled in garlic aioli ,
scattered with croutons and
bacon, and crunched happi-
ly . Thanks to our ‘guinea
pigs’ for joining us in our im-
promptu fresh food feast and
thanks Mick for whipping it all
up.
This week we farewell Lana,
Hugh and Lucas Clifford. We
hope they will take away
warm memories of their term
at Nowendoc Public. Lana,
Hugh and Lucas, you have
added character, humour and
friendship, to our lives this

On Thursday 22nd March
parents transported their
children into Walcha Central
School for the Small Schools
Cross Country races. The
children ran with Walcha
Central School students, but
were not competing against
them for places. Every stu-
dent tried their best, but most
of all had a great time min-
gling with their peers and
being part of the atmos-
phere. Special mention must
go to Nowendoc’s own cheer
I’d just like to wish everyone
a safe holiday over Easter. I
will be on leave for the first
two weeks of term 2, I’m sure
I’ll find time to send a post
card while away. Currabu-

will all have entries in this
event if you are travelling that
way over the Mother’s Day

Happy, hungry Hugh hopped home with his hotdog.
Hugh, Year 2
Lovely Lana likes to lick lemon lollipops while lounging in the library. When sud-
denly a lion came in to look at Lana’s lollipop. The lion liked the lollipop. Lana
didn’t like the lion so she went to the laboratory. In the laboratory, she looked at
a lamb. The lamb was angry so the lamb threw a lamp at Lana. Lana went out-
side to look for ladybirds when she saw a lady on a ladder. Lana finished her
lemon lollipop and left to walk home to have lemonade.
Lana, Year 4
Ecstatic Elisabeth enjoys emu eggs during an Eminem concert. After Eminem,
Elisabeth went on an enthusiastic elephant to the equator. The equator was
extremely exotic and epic. Elisabeth’s enthralling day ended eerily when her
enthusiastic elephant exploded without explanation.

Young Leaders Conference
On Saturday 24th of March, I travelled to Sydney for the Young Leaders Conference. This is a conference for year 6 students from all over NSW. It is run by the Halogen Foundation, whose work is to inspire & influence young people to lead themselves and others well. It was held at the Entertainment Centre. It was really strange to be sitting in this huge building with nearly 7000 other year 6 students and their teachers. Mrs Bourke and I got some weird looks from big groups of students and their teachers but I know there were other small schools there too. The day was filled with speakers talking about their experiences as leaders. The two I liked the most were Anh Do and Ronni Kahn. Anh Do got the biggest cheer. He is a comedian and writer who came out to Australia on a refugee boat from Vietnam. We bought his book, The Happiest Refugee, and I was hoping to have my photo taken with him but he had to leave after his performance. Ronni Kahn set up Oz Harvest, a company which collects lefto-ver food and delivers it to charities. Both of these people seemed really nice and enjoyed giving to others.
Hyper Dash
Our new PE game,
Hyperdash, has
been a huge hit. The
game challenges
the kids listening
and comprehension
skills, as they re-
spond to instructions
when they hit col-
oured domes. Agility
and speed are test-
ed throughout the
game. Maths skills
are applied. Integrat-
ed learning and fun!
Skipping
The glorious weather this term has helped produce a zeal for skipping. ‘I can’ts’
and frustrated groans have disappeared due to persistence , listening and re-
sponding to support, and taking risks. The right attitude and effort have brought
smiles and skipping success.
