OUR VISION

Humula Public School aims to provide a safe and varied learning environment that

creates independent, confident and resilient individuals working towards academic

success.

WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY

Once again we participated in National Walk Safely to School Day.

It was great to see all our students meeting with all staff at the

park for the trek to school. It was also great to see so many school

community members joining us for the walk. In total I believe we had 31 people

walking to school. We were then treated to a yummy breakfast of egg and bacon

rolls and either chocolate or strawberry milk, or orange juice. A big thank you

for supporting this event which is held out of hours so that our school day can

proceed as normal.

NAPLAN

NAPLAN for 2019 is done and dusted. All papers were sent off to be processed

as soon as the final testing day was completed. Our students all did their best

and we are very proud of the way they conducted themselves.

MINI ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

Last Wednesday we travelled to Rosewood to participate in a mini athletics

carnival. After watching the weather forecast for the next week, I decided

that if we didn’t take advantage of the sunshine and fine weather then we may

not have the opportunity of holding any sort of athletics carnival. The results

from last Wednesday’s carnival will be used if the ALPSS athletics carnival is

washed out again tomorrow. At the time of writing this newsletter the forecast

for tomorrow is 7° and raining. We are thinking that the decision last week, even

though at short notice, was a good one.

AFRICAN DRUMMING

Last Friday Rosewood PS joined us for a session of African Drumming and Mr

Bremner thought it was a fantastic experience for his students. It made me

realise how lucky we are to be offered the program from Wagga Wagga City

Council, free of charge.

WEEK 4 HIGHLIGHTS

GRIP LEADERSHIP

Yesterday Jayden, Chloe and Izabell travelled to Charles Sturt University to

participate in a leadership day. The goal of GRIP Leadership is to provide

training to school leaders concentrating specifically on their leadership role.

Their goal is that the children will leave the conference with a clear vision, a

solid understanding and lots of ideas that they can use in their time as leaders.

It is hoped that Jayden will be able to share his leadership qualities with the

school as Student Leader in 2019 and that Chloe and Izabell will be able to

follow Jayden’s lead and carry through the role in 2020. Jayden, Chloe and

Izabell reported that they were joined by others from our ALPSS group and

they all had a very enjoyable day. A big thank you to Judy Slack-Smith for

transporting the children to Wagga so that they could participate in this event.

HIGHLANDS CROSS COUNTRY

This Friday eight students will travel to Tumbarumba to compete in the

Highlands Cross Country. Evan, Sid and Tori-Lee will be running in the 8/9 year

events running 2000m. Blake, Nathan and Makayla will be running the 2000m

event in the 10 year section. Jayden and Chloe will be competing as 11 year olds

and will have to run the 3000m course. If you are going up to watch you might

want to rug up and wear your gumboots as the forecast is 11° and overcast. Best

of luck to everyone!

NSWPSSA TOUCH FOOTBALL KNOCKOUT

We have a date! Our touch football team will be travelling to Ladysmith PS for

the first round of touch football on Thursday 20 June. Ty is back into training

with the children and team selections will take place soon.

CHAT WITH COUNCIL

I visited Wagga Wagga City’s Chat with the Council in the park to find out what

they have that can assist the community of Humula. I learnt that they have an

app on which anyone can report anything of concern to the council. So far, I

have reported the roadway on the corner of 8 Mile Road and Carabost Road,

and also the trees at the front of the school. Hopefully council will look at

these issues and respond accordingly.

P&C BLOG

Cake Stall- Our annual cake stall and wood raffle went exceptionally well. We

raised over $1800, which is more than previous years. A massive thank you to all

parent and family bakers and volunteers who gave up their time to operate the

stall. Your help and donations are always greatly appreciated.

Wood raffle winner- Congratulations to Scott McPherson who won the load of

fire wood and then donated the wood to Paul and Heather Rowe. Thank you for

your support and your generous donation.

Pie drive- As this was such a success last year, we are running another drive

again this year. There is an order attached to this newsletter.

Orders must be in with payment by Friday 28th June, delivery will be Friday 5th

June (last day of term 2). All community members are welcome to order.

We thank everyone for their ongoing support.

Thank you to all parents and families

that contributed to our annual cake

stall and wood raffle!

LOSS OF A DEAR FRIEND

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Wilga and the Harvey family on the sad loss

of Norm. All our school community will sadly miss him.
