PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Bunnings BBQ –helpers needed
On Saturday 3rd August our P&C will be holding a
fundraising BBQ at Bunnings to raise funds
specifically for the 1/2 class. They wish to
purchase new tablet devices for students to
digitally record work and share with parents.
Parents of 1/2 students are encouraged to
volunteer 1 or 2 hrs of time as the proceeds will
go directly to helping the students in this class.
All helpers are still welcome though.
You can volunteer by contacting P&C president
Joanne Tracey directly or return a volunteer
sheet to the school office.
If you can not help you can still support our P&C
by buying lunch for the family on the day.
Only $4 for a sausage sandwich and a can of
drink. What a bargain!
ACOS Dance Performance
A large group of our students have been
practising for the big Evening with ACOS
Performance coming up on August 7th. This is a
combined performance from all the schools in
the Armidale area.
Parents can purchase tickets to see their
children perform in the matinee or evening
show through Trybooking.com. Tickets are only
for sale online.
Mid-Year Interviews / PLP Meeting
If you have not yet made time to speak with
your child’s teacher/s about their progress this
year, it is not too late. Please contact teachers
and make time to check up on how your child is
progressing.
The equation is simple; the more interest you
show, the more positive you are about school
and learning, the greater the achievements and
outcomes for your child.
Touch Football Gala Day
Good luck to our boys and girls teams who will
compete in the PSSA Knockout Gala day this
week. Our teachers have again put in an extra
effort to not only organise our school teams but
also coordinate the whole day. Newling
teachers once again going above and beyond!
Debating
Our school debating team will compete in the
second round of the Premier’s Debating
Challenge this week and hone their public
speaking skills. Our team of students have been
showing some great persuasive skills in class
activities and will take this extra experience into
the debate.
Zone Athletics
We wish the 17 athletes who qualified to
compete at the Zone Athletics Carnival this
Friday all the best for a wonderful performance.
Competitors will be representing our school as
well as contesting for a place at the regional
athletics team. Best of luck to our athletes!
P and C Father’s Day Raffle
Our P and C are coordinating a Father’s Day
Raffle to be drawn at the Father’s Day Breakfast
on 30th August. A range of prizes will be
available, from a brush cutter to a Bunnings Gift
voucher.
Please support our wonderful P&C and our
students by buying and/or selling tickets. Raffle
tickets will be sent home with the Newsletter at
a later date.
Star Awards
“You’re a Star Award” certificates were
presented at this morning’s assembly to
successful students who have been using the
You Can Do It keys to success and
demonstrating persistence, resilience,
organisation, getting along and confidence.
Congratulations to our recipients: Kiesha, Blake
and Torrah.

Kindergarten News
Kindergarten created spinning tops in their weekly
STEM Challenge on Friday. Students used clever
colour patterns and tested to see if their creation
could spin for 10 seconds. Well done to all
Kindergarten students for showing persistence
throughout the activity.
We are studying the amazing Roald Dahl novel
‘The Twits’. This is such a descriptive book that
really creates an image in the reader’s mind. We
have been working on using powerful adjectives
to write our own character descriptions of Mr
and Mrs Twit.

Here is Lincoln’s writing about whether pets
should be allowed at school?
Should Pets be Allowed at School?
I think pets should be allowed at school.
Firstly pets can listen to you read.
If you have a dog it can protect you.
This is why pets should be allowed at school.
Just a reminder that this Saturday
3rd August is the Year 1/2 BBQ at
Bunnings.
