Welcome to Week 7 of Term 2
PUBLIC SPEAKING
Congratulations to all of our Public
Speakers Mrs Veronica McNaught will be
guest judge for our final round of school
speeches Two students from Stage 2 and
two students from Stage 3 will progress
from this final round to perform for
members of the Finley Lionrsquos Club
A special congratulations to all of those
students who had a go Public Speaking is
a very difficult and demanding task and by
all accounts the speeches were all of the
highest quality throughout our school
rounds
RIVERINA CROSS COUNTRY
Good luck to our students who are
competing in the Riverina Zone Cross
Country in Deniliquin today
PSSA GIRLS SOCCER
Well done to our soccer girls who won
through to the next round of the PSSA
Girls Soccer Knockout on Friday The girls
won 2-0 against Edward Public School in
Deniliquin Mrs Cole was very excited by
their achievements and we are now looking
forward to taking on our next opponents
over the coming weeks
PAUL KELLY CUP
This Friday the girlsrsquo football team will be
heading over to Deni South to compete in
the Paul Kelly Cup Round Robin We have
two teams entered this year and all of the
girls are very excited Just a reminder to
the parents involved that we will need
parent transport on the day so please let
us know if you are able to help out with
travel
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Once again we have a crazy week for
Training and Development On Thursday
we will have all of the Kindergarten and
Stage 1 teachers out after recess We
have managed to secure our regular
casuals so student learning will continue as
per ususal It is certainly a juggling act to
ensure that our staff continues to be
involved in Training and Development
whilst still maintaining a focus on the
classroom I am very happy with our
structures and the way that classes are
kept consistent so that even when shared
out the teachers on each class are
already well known to the students
JELLY BEAN DAY
Donrsquot forget Jelly Bean Day this Friday
Our SRC are coordinating a day where
students dress in jelly bean colours and
bring a gold coin donation to support
Diabetes Research This is a very worthy
cause to support and one which has
affected a number of our FPS students
MOVING ON
Finally it is with great sadness that I
need to inform our community that at the
end of this term I will be moving on to
another school Amazingly several
rumours predicted this However I can
assure you that I only found out about the
possibility of taking on a new position on
Thursday and I accepted this new position
over the weekend after discussing it with
my family The last nine and a half years

Last Tuesday Meg Marsden Kiara Warenycia Matthew Peacock and I went to the REEC in Wagga
Wagga for a day of environmental science
At the start of the day our teacher Bernie had to remember all of our names and say them
Next we were split into groups of four and given 2x4s with ropes on them and we had to step in
time with each other
After that we had to cross a fake toxic swamp using 1x2s and deposit them on the other side
Later we went to a pond and we caught bugs and identified them and tallied them on the
smartboard We also got water samples and tested them for pH salt oxygen nitrogen ammonia
and mud to water ratio
At the end of the day we went on a rope obstacle course with play equipment
