From the Principal’s desk…
I had the pleasure of attending the Ungarie
Show on Saturday. Congratulations to the
Ungarie Show Society committee for their
hard work in making the show such a success.
It was a cold and windy day but that did not
stop people from enjoying themselves with so
many things to do and see. The Ungarie
Central School display looked fantastic. There
were so many positive comments about the
work of our students, which is always great to
hear.
Year 10 completed the Validation Assessment
for Learning and Individual Development
(VALID) assessment this week. This is an end
of stage assessment, which assesses students
in the Science key learning area. Year 8 will
complete their VALID assessment next term.
Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on
Monday 23rd September. We encourage all
parents to attend these, as it is an opportunity
to discuss your child’s learning with their
teacher/s. Please contact the front office to
make an appointment.
Students have been practicing all term for our
Performance Night, which will be held next
Wednesday 18th September. All community
members are welcome to attend. There’ll be
drama, comedy, dancing and musical items for
your enjoyment. This year we purchased a set
of microphones, which will make it easier for
the audience to hear our students as they
perform. Come along for a great night out!
The time is coming closer for our Year 12
students to complete their formal schooling.
Next Tuesday we have the Lachlan Access
Program Graduation in Tullibigeal. Year 12
students and staff were invited to attend the
event and we look forward to seeing our
students rewarded for their hard efforts over
the past two years. Year 12 students who
attended an ASPIRE excursion to Dubbo last
year, Jack Wason, Seth McCubbin, Colby
Crofts, Jared Robb, Jackson Benness and
Damian Batty received a HSC care package
from ASPIRE. It included things like marbles
‘incase they lose theirs’ and a tea bag ‘because
they’re tea’riffic’.
Good luck to Hannah Wilson, Caitlin Rossiter,
Ella Burley and Olivia Rossiter who
are competing at the regional final of
the Premier’s Spelling Bee in Griffith
today.
Until next week,
Terrie Payne

‘HABIT OF MIND’ AND SPORT AWARD RECIPIENTS FOR WEEK 7
In March, Braden Payne and Josh Roscarel travelled with Mrs Jackson and Mrs Earney to Dubbo TAFE to attend an
information day for the NSW Schools Merino Wether Challenge, and to pick up Ungarie and Condobolin’s wethers to
take home. Once the wethers arrived safely at school (after travelling through a horrendous dust storm just out of
Condo), they were vaccinated, drenched and treated for external parasites, to make sure they were healthy and ready
to grow. .
Agriculture students introduced the wethers to a ration of all purpose pellets, cracked lupins and oats, along with
Lucerne hay. Students kept the feed up to the wethers for the duration of their stay, regularly weighing them to monitor
their growth. The wethers were halter trained and regularly walked around the ag plot to get them used to being
handled. In the final week of their stay, Josh, Braden, Mrs Jackson and Mr Cattle used their weights and fleece
characteristics to sort them into two teams of three, with a spare. .
On Monday, 26th August, Braden, Josh and Mrs Jackson packed up the wethers, their gear and feed, and headed to
Dubbo Showgrounds, via Condobolin to pick up the Condo wethers and Mrs Earney and her students. Upon arrival at
the Showgrounds, the wethers were given a health check, had a side sample taken and a wool micron analysis. This data
was recorded for use during the challenge. .
On Tuesday, students were all up early to check on the sheep, feed them and get ready for the first day of showing.
Ungarie Central School was in Group 1, and lined up for judging at 7:45am. The wethers were judged on their fleece
characteristics. Josh’s team of three wethers were in the top 10, meaning they had to come back for judging with the
top 10 from Group 2. Unfortunately, our wethers didn’t place in the top 5 in this category. After judging, every team of
sheep were shorn, fleeces weighed and then the wethers were scanned for eye muscle depth. This data was all recorded
to be used to judge the overall winners. .
On Wednesday, students were back out with their teams of three, being judged this time on carcase characteristics and
condition score. Josh’s wether that he was handling was selected to come back for the finals as an individual animal,
and Braden’s team of three wethers were asked to come back in the final judging of the top 20 teams from Groups 1
and 2. In the end, Braden’s team of three were placed fourth in the carcase section, with one of these wethers then
being placed fifith in the individual carcase section. .
The challenge wrapped up on Wednesday afternoon, with junior judging and challenge winners being announced. While
we didn’t place in any of these categories, we did achieve 8th and 14th overall, which was based on the collation of all
our wether data over the two days of competition. Considering there were 90 odd teams in the challenge at Dubbo, this
is something to be very proud of, especially considering this was the first time our school had competed in this challenge.
Thanks to Mrs Earney from Condobolin for helping us with any questions about the competition, including during the
challenge, and also to Lily Spackman, Charlotte Whiley, Jaxon Lemon and Leslie Quarman from West Wyalong High
School for being part of our show team since we had 6 wethers to show with only 2 handlers!

NSW SCHOOLS MERINO WETHER CHALLENGE 2019
Judging time.
On the 20th of August we went on a bus to Lake Cowal Conservation Centre. When we first arrived we went for a long
bush walk to explore the area and collect treasures to use later. We saw lots of interesting animals such as emus,
wallabies, kangaroos and birds. We were also lucky enough to see emu eggs.
After this we were split into three groups. The first group went to Mrs Payne to sort the treasures collected earlier into
solids, liquids, gasses and things in between.
We then went to Sally Russell and looked at dead bird skulls and beaks to guess what they were, what they ate and
where they lived. We then used beaks to attempt to make a birds nest. This was surprisingly fun and hard.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch of sausages, damper and a fruit box before moving to our final group.
First we had to find camouflaged animals. Next we looked at water animals under a microscope. Seeing them under the
microscope was creepy as we could see all their textures we didn’t know were there!
We had a great day and learnt a lot! By Year 3/4
First we went on the bus, it was long. After that we started to find emu foot prints and then we found emu poo. Finally
we kept walking and we saw big green emu eggs and we saw a big cave. After that we climbed up the big rocks. Next we
came down the big rocks. Finally we hunted for cool treasure. After that we went back on the bus back to the school.
By Isla Rossiter (Kindergarten)
First K/1/2, 3/4 and 5/6 went to Lake Cowal Conservation Centre and talked for a minute.
Next we got to the bush walking and we saw emu poo and emu tracks and you would not believe what Mrs Payne told
us! A huge emu took over her!
K/1/2 saw five nests and after that we saw eight emu eggs on the ground. A Dad emu and two babies ran into the bush.
Next we turned off into the bush and when we were half way up the hill we saw a huge rock as big as a silo and we got
to climb it.
After that we got to find some treasures and Jack and I paired up and found kangaroo poo, two cool rocks, some moss,
a spine bone off a rabbit and a tree branch.
A while later we got back to the bus and came back to the nice warm fire. We had recess and made damper on the fire.
