P R I N C I P A L ’ S M E S S A G E

The Higher School Cer ficate examina ons start this week and I wish all our year 12 students the best for both the exams and the future. This term also signifies a right of passage for our Year 11 cohort who effec vely start Year 12 in Term 4. I am now calling them Year 12 and have raised my expecta ons of them in terms of behaviour and work ethic.  I  have  set  them  the  challenge  to  step  up  and  be  the  school  leaders.  They  have  already  accepted  this challenge  and  have  cleaned  and  reorganised  the  senior  room,  their  teachers  are  repor ng  improved  focus  on studies and I have no ced them taking a more ac ve role in the playground with younger students. Well done Year 12, con nue to make us proud.   Strategic plan 2018‐2022  The NSW Department of Educa on released the five year Strategic Plan with the vision ‘To be Australia’s best educa on system and one of the best in the world’. The plan includes 10 goals. Each fortnight I have been discussing one of the goals and how it related to Bowraville Central School. This week I will unpack with Goal 5 ‘All young people have a strong founda on in literacy and numeracy; deep content knowledge; and confidence in their ability to learn, adapt and be responsible ci zens.’  I am pleased to announce that we have just appointed a new teacher to Bowraville Central School for 2019 who will be teaching mathematics in Stage 4 and 5 as well as driving numeracy across K‐10. He comes with a wealth of experience in raising the bar including working with Gifted and Talented students. I will do a future article on our three new appointments in 2019 in a future newsletter.   In terms of Literacy we will continue the support of our Early action for Success Instructional Leader, Lee Luck, in 2019 as well as a new initiative focussing on writing being led by Kerry Kete across the school. 2018 saw the first steps in growth in Naplan in recent years, we want to build on this growth and push towards state averages in 2019 and beyond. We will also continue to provide opportunities for our students to learn the lessons they need to be successful and active members of society.    Combined Schools Fete  The  Bowraville  Central  School  P&C  are  busy  organising  the  inaugural  Combined  Schools  Fete  to  be  held  at Bowraville Central School on the evening of 15 December culmina ng in Carols by Candlelight and the religh ng of the Christmas tree.  I have set  the challenge to relight the  tree without having to climb  it using  lasers and  lights projected from the ground. The students in both primary and secondary Makerspace are currently working on this. I spoke to Warren Neithe, Principal of St Mary’s Bowraville and his students are very excited about singing carols and se ng up a stall on the evening.  It  is a posi ve move forward working  in collabora on. Hope to see you all there on the night, I am sure there will be lots of Christmas stocking fillers available at the stalls as well as bouncy castles and a visit from Santa.   Best Regards, Dave Taylor

2018 Na onal Red Poll Youth Camp 

The  2018  Na onal  Red  Poll  Youth  Camp  was  held during  the  school  holidays  at  the  Glen  Innes Showgrounds.  Thirty  Eight  a endees  aged  8  to  25 travelled  from  NSW  and  QLD,  with  towns  such  as Bellingen, Bowraville, Armidale,  Inverell, Brisbane and of course Glen Innes represented. 

The  a endees  were  instructed  on  a  range  of  topics ranging from parading, public speaking, clipping, heard management  and  nutri on,  as well  as  junior  judging. Students  were  also  lucky  enough  to  do  a  tour  of Ranger Valley Feedlot which houses over 30,000 Angus and Wagyu ca le. 

The  students  enjoyed  making  new  friends,  playing 

nightly  games  and  learning  from  experts  throughout 

the  days.  On  the  final  day  of  the  Camp  students 

prepped and showed their cows using all the skills and 

knowledge that they had  learnt throughout the camp. 

Bella Hinton placed third in her age group and Jessyka 

Cameron was awarded “Most Improved Overall” at the 

show. 

I was so proud to accompany these students to the Red Poll Camp, each and every one of them stepped outside their comfort zone and they all did themselves and Bowraville Central School proud.  None of these students have ever done public speaking before and they all got up in front of a large crowd and gave very convincing arguments in the junior judging category of the show.  I can’t wait to see Bowraville Central school Ca le Team become bigger and more compe ve next year.  Lori Wilson

Apologies for any inconvenience. 

RINGWORM Ringworm  has  nothing  to  do  with  worms  of  any  kind. Ringworm  is  a  common  fungal  infec on  caused  by  fungi called  dermatophytes  that  live  on  the  skin.  Ringworm  can appear on the skin or scalp.  Ringworm takes it’s name from the red scaly patch or bump which over  me forms a ring or series of rings on the skin.  It can be passed on through person to person contact as well as  contact  with  infected  animals,  usually  pets  or  farm animals.  If you child has a ringworm, it must be covered to prevent it spreading to other people. Your child may return to school once treatment has commenced.

Wheelchair Basketball

During Year 7/8 Sport in the last week of Term 3, Bowraville was  lucky  enough  get  a  visit  from  Jason and  Robbie  from Ability  Links, NSW.  They  gave  the students  a  chance  to  try  a  set  of  basketball wheelchairs. The students couldn’t wait to get in the chairs  and  had  an  amazing  me  throughout  the session.  They  learnt  skills  in  how  to  use  the  chairs and  played  wheelchair  basketball  against  one another. It was such a great experience for everyone.  

 

We  were  extremely  lucky  that  Jason  and  Robbie offered to come back this term in week 2 to give the 9/10  Sport  students  a  go  at  the  chairs.  A  big thankyou to Jason, Robbie and Ability Links NSW who took  the  me  to  come  in  and  allow  the use of  the wheelchairs  free  of  charge  for  our  Bowraville students. It was awesome!
