RELIEVING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Thank you and congratulations

Thank you

to our

wonderful

students and

P & C for

their efforts

over the past

week, for

the Irish

Music

Festival.

Assisting

with setting

up, walking in the street parade, helping on stalls

and in many other ways during the festival shows

how much you value not only our school but our

community. The youth of today are our future, and

from what we saw on the weekend our students are

making positive contributions to our community’s

future.

I would also like to congratulate the Irish Festival

Committee on a wonderful festival and for bringing

fun, and funds, to our community.

This term is coming to an end very quickly and

there’s a lot packed into the 9 days before holidays.

Tomorrow is the SRC Afternoon, Thursday are

Parent-Teacher interviews, next week we have

secondary 4 T’s Gala day and our annual Cross

Country before our Market Day celebrations. Thank

you to all involved in organising these events.

Grandfriend’s Morning Tea and Assembly

It has been decided to hold this event early in term 2

as we will have our new principal then. The date for

this will be finalised this week, so please stay tuned

for further details in next week’s newsletter.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

PRIMARY PIECES

K/1/2 Thank you to all students who participated in our

assembly, and to the parents that came and

supported our lovely class. We loved showing you

our work, and singing you some songs.

Homework:

2 x Maths pages

LSCWC and 2 x spelling activities

Readers due back each day, as well as

Kinder sound books

We hope you had a fantastic Easter break and are

3/4 Homework

Maths: Unit 8

Spelling: Look,Say,Cover,Write, Check

Reading: If your child is on a Home Reader, please

read their readers every night. If your child is not on

Home Readers, please listen to them read a book

from the library each night.

NAPLAN

We have started working through past NAPLAN

papers in class. This is so that Year 3 can learn

about the format of the papers and how to answer

different questions. Year 4 have completed one

paper, a Language Conventions test as revision of

spelling, punctuation and grammar. These tests will

be sent home in the next couple of weeks, however,

they are not a true representation of what your child

will achieve in the actual tests, as your child has

done this test with a small group and the teacher.

Easter Egg Guessing Competition

Thank you to everyone who had a guess. Blake

McMahon guessed the winning number, 297! We

raised $200 towards our class excursion, which is a

great effort for only a small fundraiser.

Lauren and Mitchell Flavel

Year 3/4 Teachers

Year 5/6

Last week 5/6 had the pleasure of visiting the MPS

and performing our whole class dance to Can’t Stop

The Feeling. We also read our stories to individual

residents. We had a

lovely visit and

look forward to

returning next

term. This week

students will be

given their CWA

Public Speaking

topics. Speeches

are to be

completed over the

holidays and will be delivered to the class in Term 2

Page | 4

3:15 – 4:30pm every Week A for senior study time

with Miss Shankelton if students need assistance

with assessments or work in general. The sessions

are held in the library. If seniors could please advise

Miss Shankelton if they are attending prior to each

session.

Work Health & Safety – Shoes for Practical

Subjects

Students need to ensure that they have their hats and

boots for practical agriculture, along with boots for

any other practical subjects such as food tech and

industrial tech. They are also required for practical

science where chemicals and sharps are in use.

Please ensure that students have their enclosed

leather shoes either on their feet or stored at the

student pigeon holes so that students have them

when required.

Handling Study Stress

At times students, particularly those in the senior

years, will be under stress due to their study loads.

To assist students in coping with this stress

Headspace in Dubbo offers a free study stress

advisory line that students can either call or access

via the Headspace Dubbo Facebook page. The

Facebook page is

www.facebook.com/headspacedubbo and the

contact phone number for the centre is 0258521900

(between 9:00am – 5:00pm Monday – Tuesday,

9am – 6pm Wednesday, 9:00am – 7:00pm Thursday

and 9:00am – 2:00pm Fridays) This is a great

service offered for students and if they are feeling

stressed about their study load I encourage them to

give the Headspace centre a call.

Cattle Show Team Practice

Cattle Show Team Practice will re-commence Week

2 Term 2. Our Heifer Nellie is back on the road to

recovery after her illness and will be ready to start

re-learning her show manners. I will be meeting

with Team members this week to discuss times for

practice and will be sending home a survey for

parents to complete in terms of which times and

days suits people better, especially since daylight

savings has ended. These surveys will be due back

in Week 11.

Have a great week!
