DIARY DATES
Wednesday 10th:
HUB Thursday 11th: Friday 12th
RDO Monday 8th: IMPORTANT DATES: Athletics Carnival Date to be Advised Pyjama day 1st July
Dear Parents, Carers and Community,
Welcome to Term 2, Week 7!
I hope everyone had a great long weekend.
Last Tuesday the students enjoyed making and eating Veggie and
Meatball Spaghetti for Healthy Lunches.
Last week the High School cooked Roti Curry Wraps for Thursday
Canteen and sadly that was the last time the school will be
running the canteen for now.
I believe last week Miss Johnstone took an excited 1-2 Class to
explore the Outback Adventure Farm and found pumpkins and
peppers which they split equally to take home.
At the moment teachers are busy writing reports and they will be
different this time. Our reports are in line with advice from the
NSW Department of Education, our school reports have been
adjusted to cater for students learning from school and at home.
This report will not grade student achievement using the A-E scale
for all outcomes. The teachers’ comments will focus on English
and mathematics as well as learning that students have
undertaken in other Key Leaning Areas.
I hope everyone is in training for the Athletics Carnival happening
at the end of term.

WHAT HAS BEEN
HAPPENING AT SCHOOL
THIS WEEK !
Vegetable Loaded Meatballs & Spaghetti
Mrs Farrar, Nadia, Rilie, Jack, Jullian and
Cea-Anna, cooked a mouth-watering meal for
Healthy Lunches last week. They started by
collecting the ingredients and then
differentiating the food types. They then began
making the spaghetti sauce with mild chilli, onion,
beans, mushrooms and tomatoes!
They mixed it all together with the pasta and the
meatballs. It was SUPER delicious and healthy!
We are creating a winter wonderland in the library.
Jack Frost has been to call
Have you noticed him at all?
‘The Wonder Thing’ written by Libby
Hathorn.
What is the wonder thing…?
Powerful as rock
Gentle as kisses
Lovely as life is
A miracle thing.
This week we have 3 books:
‘The Little Eskimo’ written by David Cali
What will you be when you grow up? The Little Eskimo wants to know
if he’ll be a great hunter when he grows up and also what’s on the other
side of the lake. He starts out on a quest to find the answers but none of
the arctic animals can help him. Finally, a whale takes the brave little
boy to the one creature who knows all…..
‘The Third day, the Frost’ written by John Marsden
First there was Tomorrow, When the War Began, then came the Dead
of the Night. Now it’s the Third Day, The Frost and things can only get
worse...
Year 1 and 2 students have been working
super hard this Term, learning about different
speech sounds and how they are represented in
writing and used in reading and speaking. We made
jelly when we learnt about “j” and then
finger-painted with it after it was set.
Print impressions were taken of the
finger-painting.
In a recent Mathematics unit, Year 1 and 2 students engaged in a range
of tasks while learning about measurement.
Cea-Anna surveyed students and adults at school to discover their favourite drink on a hot day. She used
tally marks to record data and then used this information to measure volumes of liquid,
according to her survey results.
Jack has been using formal units when
measuring. Lionel helped him to
measure various distances around the school using metres.
Jack measured a range of objects, including his hand span
and the length of his fingers using centimetres.
Kyeanna’s volume and capacity tasks
included learning the “language” of this
Mathematics concept. She also explored
the concept of mass.
The last few weeks the years 3-6 students have got a glimpse into the work that goes on
behind the scenes at schools when it comes to organising events. An offhand suggestion by
Jada, “Miss we should have a pyjama day!” resulted in the students taking on the role of
organisers with support from their teachers. They initiated the process with a letter
persuading Mr Edwards that a Pyjama Day was in the best interest of the school and the staff.
Paperwork, Persuasion and Permission Notes
The students’ efforts were rewarded with a hand
delivered note from Mr Edwards, not only giving
them permission to host their event, but also
outlining all the paperwork and organisation that
would need to be completed before it could occur.
Rather than scare the students off, this
letter set them into motion, working as a
team to prepare letters, invitations,
guidelines and permission notes.
The students are now patiently waiting
on a reply from the P&C before they
finalise their arrangements and send out
the invitations. I look forward to seeing
the great day organised by the students
of the 3-6 class.

Lots of fun was had at HUB last week! Hope to see you all
again tomorrow from 9am!
The secondary students
hosted a farewell
party for their
classmate,
Kyle Mitchell
on Friday afternoon.
Good luck, Kyle!
We will miss you!
Ivanhoe Central School would like to thank the team at the
Warakirri Correctional Centre for their support and
assistance of our many school events and projects
over the years.
Your contribution to our school is greatly appreciated and
we wish you all the best of luck on your new adventures.
There are many projects underway at our Outback Adventure Farm.
There are loads of winter veggies planted and some are even ready to
harvest! The students love that we grow our own food for use in our Healthy Lunches
program and we also are able to share some with our local community.
Mr Edwards has just acquired some ‘Chicken Tractors’ for our feathery
residents to nest in at night time. After the hens and their rooster are used to their
new home, they will then be allowed to range freely during the day.
Our grounds staff have been very busy digging trenches, with the help of
Mark Huntly, for the power and water supply to our Farm Kitchen which will be
assembled in the near future - stay tuned!
We have also been gifted some friendly ducks from the Warakirri
Correctional Centre—another great addition to our busy little farm!
Our students love that they’re able to learn different skills and grow and
harvest their very own produce.
Ella turns 10 today!
COMMUNITY ITEMS ITEMS FOR PUBLICATION
Items for publication in the school newsletter need to be submitted to the school (via email or in person) by 4pm Thursday, prior to
publication. This will ensure items are included in the next newsletter.

Due to large numbers of community advertisements coming into the school to be added to the newsletter, the cost is escalating. We would
like to continue to produce large and colourful copies but to make this possible we will need to charge a fee for each advertisement.
$5.00 for a one off or $20 for a month.
$20 a month or $5 per ad as a one off.
Community Notices are accepted in good faith and at the discretion

Monday’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list included worthy recipient, Ann Vagg of Ivanhoe.
Ann was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (General Division).
Helen Catherine, Ann’s daughter, hosted a celebratory lunch on Monday, which also
doubled as a birthday party. Ann was 89 on Saturday, 6th June.
Congratulations Ann, on both achievements!
