Five in Five Challenge

On Friday students will be able to wear

casual active clothes for the Five in Five

challenge, with a gold coin donation

towards Challenge for Change.

During the day students will be taking part

in a 4 person team circuit of five activities.

Untimed and without places the idea is for

students to support each other to complete

as many circuits as possible in 30 minutes.

Students and families are encouraged to

spend an hour a day exercising in the

holidays or creating an active challenge

that pushes themselves beyond what they

would normally do. Suggestions for the

holidays from 5/ 6 HB include learning a

new dance each day, horse or motorbike

riding, walking or riding around the block,

kayaking, climbing trees, make a fitness

circuit, skipping or tramp bouncing to add

up to 1 hour a day or aim to ride/walk a

specified distance over 5 days. You can

follow community activities with the

hashtag: #deni5in5

School Based Chummy Bartlett Reports

Week 1 AFL - Team 1 V Team 2

The first round was a great success for team

one who drove team two into the ground with

a 31 point win. Everyone had a good crack

with Harry Bull kicking a massive 4 goals, top

players also included Isaac Behsman and Mi-

chael Garner. The whole of team one had a

great crack. Written by Charlie Bull

Week 2 Netball review - Team 2 V Team 4

Chummy teams two and four played each

other in netball in round 2. Both teams played

good with a close game up until the end. In

the first 2 quarters team four took the lead

scoring 4 to 0, but in the last 2 quarters team

two picked up their game finding their right

positions. When the game ended team two

had scored 4 and team four had scored 5. It

was a close game and everyone played their

best, but in the end team four was victorious.

2020 - 2021 BUSHFIRE SEASON

Our school has been identified as Category 1 and in a bushfire prone area.

To ensure the health, safety and welfare of students and staff, the NSW Department

of Education has determined that on days when a Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating is

issued for our area, the school will temporarily cease operations. This is based on in-

formation obtained through a bushfire assessment of our school arranged by the De-

partment.

A Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating does not mean there will be a catastrophic fire,

but rather weather conditions that could pose a high risk for a bushfire. The rating is a

proactive measure to ensure staff, students and the community remain safe.

This is likely to occur on a very small number of days during the bushfire season, if at

all. To ensure that we continue to support student learning on these days. The follow-

ing arrangements have been put in place:

School will be non-operational on a catastrophic fire day.

The school will receive notification of a Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating on the day

before the forecast is issued. To assist the school in contacting all parents please en-

sure that you have provided us with up-to-date home or after hours contact details.

You can also check the school website and social media on these days for up to

date communications on school operations.

Deniliquin Amateur Swimming & Life Saving Club Inc. Registration Night for 2020/21 will be held at the Clubrooms in Poictiers Street, on Tuesday 20th October 2020 between 5:00pm and 6:00pm.

Active Kids vouchers are to be claimed when parents com-plete the on-line registration.
