P&C NEWS

Tullamore P&C Debutante Ball – Well what a night

of fantastic dancing and entertainment! This Ball

had been a long time coming and was well worth

the 16 year wait!

Thank you to our 10 beautiful, young ladies and

their families for making their debut, we could not

have held such a ball without you. The girls showed

poise, elegance and grace, and the young gentlemen

accompanied them with such maturity.

Many people helped with the organisation and

running of the Ball, so thank you to each and

everyone of you – you know who you are.

I would just like to once again mention Alan Flavel

and Dave Lewis, who showed much dedication and

community spirit in co-ordinating the Ball. This is a

mammoth task and we appreciated you volunteering

your time to helping the P&C run this successful

event. We are so glad that Dave won the raffle, as

you both really deserve that Big 4 holiday!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Ball,

bought raffle tickets, and placed a bid on the silent

auction. You helped the P&C to raise an astonishing

$12,500, which is remarkable given the

circumstances of drought and hardship facing our

community.

The prizes for the night were as follows:

Lucky Door:

1. Rodan & Fields gift voucher – Dianne Darcy

2. Flannery’s Pharmacy gift basket – Alan

Larkings

3. Zumba Affleck – Ebony Watson

4. Slow Wine Co. – Aimee Stonham

Raffle Prizes:

1. Big 4 Narooma East Holiday Park Holidays

– 1st Dave Lewis, 2nd Ron Kal

2. MooGoo Skincare Package – Claire

Homework

Science

We have been learning about

materials and their properties; in

particular have been working on

materials and their best-suited

purpose.

I suggested students talk to their parents about

viewing The Flintstones cartoon and noting the

materials used for different purposes in the cartoon.

We will then discuss this and compare to materials

and their purpose now.

History

Over the next couple of weeks, the class is studying

the history of our school. If you attended Tullamore

Central and have any photos or historical

information you could share with your children at

home it would be great. We have many maps,

photos and books to look at and learn from, but we

would love to hear your stories and information if

you are able to share with us.

Have a wonderful week

SECONDARY NEWS

Last weekend I had the great pleasure of presenting

some of our senior students as part of the debutante

ball. Congratulations to our wonderful students who

have showed commitment and effort in learning all

of the dances for the ball, you should be very proud

of your efforts. The last few weeks of school are

shaping up to be very busy. Students are reminded

to bring in notes for the various sporting and

excursion events that are coming up.

Uniform and Caps

Students are reminded that caps are not part of

uniform and should not be worn at school.

Tullamore Central School is a sun safe school and

the requirements are students wear the school broad

brimmed hats. Students will be asked to remove

caps and put them in their bags. Now that the

weather is getting colder, please ensure that students

have the correct uniform jumpers. If students need

new ones they can be purchased from the front

office. Please see our staff for sizing.

VET Work placement Pre-Placement Paperwork

Year 11 students who study VET subjects who were

issued with pre-placement paperwork and have not

returned it need to do so as soon as possible. This is

to ensure that you have a placement ready for Term

3. Students who are going on placement this term

will receive confirmation of your placement in the

next few weeks. If you have not already done so,

ensure that you have completed the

go2workplacement activities prior to placement in

Week 6 Term 3.

Secondary Excursion

The secondary excursion has been planned and we

are off to the Gold Coast! Information and prices

will be distributed to students soon, once the totals

from fundraising and the P& C subsidy are applied

to the final cost. This excursion will occur Week 8

Term 4. This will allow students ample time to pay

off the final cost.
