Week 2 Term 2 2017
SAFETY TEAMWORK ACHIEVEMENT RESPECT
The first week back for the Term saw, the students settle in well to their schoolwork. Between now and Week 3, for Years 7 and 9, we are having a NAPLAN focus, where students are having lessons reminding them of the various aspects that will be covered in the NAPLAN examination. This will help the students do their best in this year’s NAPLAN. This is particularly relevant to the Year 9 students as if they achieve a Band 6 or above, they will automatically meet the minimal requirement for literacy and numeracy, and therefore will be eligible for the HSC. On Thursday, we held the schools ANZAC assembly, organised by the

The majority of students now wear school uniform
every day and we are being complemented on how
good it looks on a daily basis, however, there are a
few students who still do not have all the required
items of uniform. All Parents should be aware that
next week we are having a Uniform Blitz. Students
have been warned on assembly that they all need to
be in school uniform- this includes leather shoes,
jumpers and jackets and track suit pants.
For those who do not need financial assistance, the
uniform shop is open this Thursday morning, if items
of clothing need to be purchased. If the reason why a
student does not currently have any of these items is
financial, parents can apply for student assistance to
fund these purchases, as long as they are currently
receiving a government benefit. The paperwork is
available from the front office and can be picked up
by a student, by a parent, or parents can ring and
arrange to have it sent home. Please note that for
warmth, students are able to wear Windsor High
sloppy Joes, Woollen jumpers and the Microfiber
jackets. Any student who wears the wrong colour
jumper will be asked to remove it, and provided
wherever possible with an alternate second hand
jumper. If a student wishes to wear a scarf, it should
be only black in colour. If students do not wear the
Windsor High Track suit pants, they may wear plain
black track suit pants but they cannot have writing on
them or any colour strip on the sides. We would
appreciate all parents and caregivers supporting the
wearing of school uniform at Windsor High School.

I also mentioned on assembly this morning the value
of gratitude, that each of us should find something
each day that they are thankful for. I shared that I am
very thankful that I am the Principal of the best
school in the Hawkesbury!

SRC NEWS
Anzac Day, 25 April, is one of Australia’s most
important national occasions. It marks the anniversary
of the first major military action fought by the
Australian and New Zealand forces during the First
World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces
quickly became known as ANZACS, and the pride
they took in that name endures to this day. On April
the 25th, our school captains and parents were
involved in the ANZAC Day Dawn Service, held at
Macquarie Park and Windsor RSL. Memories of those
who served the armed forces were commemorated.
Two of our school captains (Nathan Walker and Jade
Taylor) were given the opportunity to lay a wreath
while Jade Taylor was also given the opportunity to
read the “Prologue’” to the large audience in
attendance. We thank Windsor RSL for providing light
refreshments after the events.
Year 7 & 11 CAMP
A notice to all Year 7 & 11 students don’t forget to
keep paying for your camp. Final payments are due
by Week 8 Friday 16th June 2017.

Media Release 1st May 2017
Open Day at Windsor Fire Station
Firefighters are encouraging people to visit Windsor Fire Station for the Fire & Rescue
NSW (FRNSW) annual Open Day on Saturday, 20 May.
Windsor Fire Station will be open from 10am to 2pm and families are encouraged to
come along and meet their local firefighters and learn more about fire prevention.
A range of free activities will be on offer, including firefighting demonstrations, station
tours and fire safety presentations. Firefighters will also be able to provide advice on
installing or replacing smoke alarms, and preparing a home fire escape plan.
Children will be able to see the fire engines and firefighting equipment up close – always
a highlight of this much-anticipated day. They’ll also be able to take home a
“Brigade Kids” activity booklet, which teaches them vital fire safety lessons.
This year, FRNSW is focusing on fire prevention in the kitchen, urging people to
“Keep Looking When Cooking”.
Station Commander Kim Roche said: “Almost half of all house fires start in the kitchen,
usually when people fail to keep an eye on the stovetop. Regrettably, hundreds of injuries
and occur every year from cooking-related fires, and people have lost their lives as a
result.
“With winter coming, Open Day is a also great opportunity to talk to the experts about
replacing smoke alarms.
“We’re encouraging residents to replace their outdated alarms with the latest 10-year,
lithium-powered smoke alarms.
“Why not come along to Windsor Fire Station on Open Day and come and talk to us
about how you can reduce the risk of fire destroying your life,” Station Commander Kim
Roche said.
