With only a couple of weeks of school left this year there are no signs of slow-
ing down at Bourke High School.
Our stage 5 students are currently in Dubbo for their end of year excursion
with Miss Jedrzejak and Mr Meikle. The students have worked hard through-
out the year and have earned their alternate learning experience.
As part of our transition program year 6 students and their parents are invited
to attend an information session next Wednesday 7th December from 6:00pm
in the school library. This evening will involve members of Bourke High School
teaching staff and represents an invaluable opportunity to ask any questions
you or your child may have regarding their move into Secondary Education.
Light refreshments will be served on the night.
Our annual Bourke High School presentation night will be held in our MPC on
Thursday 8th December at 6:00pm. These nights are always an enjoyable way
to showcase and acknowledge the many wonderful educational experiences
and achievements which regularly occur here in Bourke High School.
Our Wellbeing 4 Excellence team will be hosting their rewards night on Tues-
day 13th December at Bourke Swimming Pool. This night will recognise all of
those students who have displayed a consistent approach to their learning in
term 4 while also maintaining a high level of attendance.
There are a number of other changes happening at Bourke High School includ-
ing some new teaching faces (watch this space). Also, as a school we have
worked very hard along with parents and carers to establish two new support
classes at the school. We see this as the best way to support our students who
have specialised learning needs. Through their inclusion in smaller classes with
specialist, qualified teacher help students will be able to engage more fully
with their learning in a more supportive environment which caters to their in-
dividual needs. If any community member would like some more information
on this process or benefits to students please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Students in the Yarra Pai class have built a timber table and stools from
recycled materials from the Bourke Shire Council Rubbish Depot. The
table and stools will be available for Youth attending the Bourke PCYC
facility.
A key component of the project involves students designing product and
calculating the quantity of materials to complete the table and stools.
Congratulations to the students and staff.
