offered to both groups. Subject choices will be finalised before

the end of term. Students will be counselled regarding their

choices and given advice on what career paths they plan to

take e.g. TAFE, Trade or University, the entrance requirements

and the appropriate levels of Mathematics, English and

Science for Stage 6 and ROSA requirements for Stage 5

students.

NAPLAN Results Results for students in Years 3, 5 and 7, 9 have been released

However, when Wombat’s friends decide to help, things go

very wrong for Dingo.

BOOK FAIR /ASSEMBLY REPORT

Thank you to all the students who participated in the Book Fair theme and

dressed appropriately last Friday.

I was amazed that almost everyone in the whole school chose to dress as an

Australian character or animal. We had a kangaroo that hopped into the

assembly and stayed!

Prizes were awarded as follows:

Pre school—Harriet Webster the famous Australian doctor - Ann Woolcock

K-2—Lachlan Palensk a soldier in full kit

Jada Etrich a kangaroo

3-6—Lira Gray Kathryn Britt - Australian Country and Western singer

Grace Lindberg Australian bushranger - Elizabeth Hickman

Secondary— Tegan Quayle who was dressed as a farmer (and looked as if she

was ready to start work immediately)

We had a good representation of farmers, a pig farmer, a hay farmer, a goat farmer and other all round farmers.

As well, from the farming industry, we had a shearer, and a roustabout.

The pop star was ready to entertain and with Steve Irwin on hand with his crocodile, the entertainment was

assured.

A lot of thought had gone into the selection of characters—including the ‘unknown solder’ and a

fisherman who had a catch of the day ready, a bush girl and a princess. You name it, you had it covered.

Once again thank you students and to your parents a big thank you too for your time and energy. Mostly your

attendance on the day was appreciated by your children and the staff at the school.

The Book Fair was well patronised and your support was very valuable.

MUSIC LESSONS This term, Ms Passmore is offering music lessons to students, Thursdays after school till 4pm.

These free group lessons in Ukulele and Guitar are on offer for students from Years 3 to 8 and will expand on the lessons taught during school.

Ms Passmore can offer private tuition at $20 for 30 minutes for students wishing one-on-one advanced classes, or for younger

students with rock star dreams.

Keep the Pledge to stop bullying and hate in your head and in your heart. Share it with others. It starts with

each one of us taking a step. If we all stand up together, we can

change our school, ensure a safe, fun school with no Bullying.

Country Women’s Association of NSW

2016 CWA Awareness Week 3-10 September: highlighting the impacts

of poor internet connectivity on health, education and crime.

What: The Country Women's Association (CWA) of NSW’s Ivanhoe branch is

launching its annual Awareness Week campaign, to be held from 3-10

September 2016.

This year, CWA Ivanhoe branch, along with the 400 other CWA branches across

NSW, have chosen to highlight the significant impact a lack of connectivity is

having on their community.

CWA Ivanhoe branch believe a lack of internet connectivity is severely

hindering people’s ability to conduct business, as well as access education and

healthcare — specifically mental health services — and can contribute to higher

crime rates in regional and rural areas.

Why: The digital age is well and truly upon us, but unfortunately our district is not

seeing the benefits. A lack of connectivity results in barriers to growth for our

farmers and small business operators; barriers to a quality education for our

students; and barriers to health services for our entire community.

While 78% of NSW regional residents love living in their community, they cite

critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, as being under serviced.

Only 37% of rural and regional Australians have good access to high-speed

internet, with regional NSW being the worst. Across rural and regional

Australia, 46% report poor access to mental health services and half (50%) have

poor access to specialist health services.

CWA of NSW is assisting journalists with examples of the difficulties faced by country

people in relation to such impacts. Contact one of our local members if you wish to

contribute.

We welcome new members to our local branch. Visitors are welcome to attend our monthly

meetings, generally on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 11am in our rooms in Columbus

Street.
