Everyone Welcome!  

Snow Excursion Fundraiser:‐  A BBQ fundraiser for the  Canberra /Snow Excursion will be held on Sunday 5th June at 8am, Nambucca Woolworths  BBQ (end of Week 6 ). All money raised will go to helping our students with transport for this excursion. If you could help on the day please contact Mr Mason.  

A focus on teaching This week and next Bowraville Central School teaching staff  will  be  involved  in  the  second  phase  of  our Teacher  Performance  and  Development  Framework implementa on.  Like  all  professionals  our  staff  are required  to  plan  their  goals,  show  evidence  of  their development, and undertake a review process.   Schools across NSW are following a similar process but at Bowraville we are further facilita ng the process by having  a  mid‐term  focus  on  these  professional conversa ons. Commencing in Week 5 of Term 1, staff will  again  this  week  have  discussions  with  their supervisors  and  collaborate  around peer observa ons of  teaching prac ce.  Just as  students  learn a  lot  from each  other  in  any  classroom,  research  has overwhelmingly  shown  that  teachers  also  benefit greatly from observing colleagues and having their own prac ce observed.   We are very proud of our teaching team here at Bowra, and I am very keen to ensure that our prac ces always con nue  to  improve  in  order  to  provide  the  best possible learning opportuni es for all students.  I look forward to discussing this and much more at the next  P&C mee ng  to  be  held  on  Thursday  26th May. Coinciding  as  it  does  again  with  the  student  social  I hope to see as many people as possible come along.   Have a great week. Malcolm McFarlane

Year 9/10 Science & Engineering Challenge 

  Teamwork was the order of the day on Wednesday 18th May, when students from Years 9 & 10 travelled to 

Kempsey  for  the annual Science and Engineering Challenge. Catapult, bridge and hovercra  building were  just a 

few of the ac vi es that students par cipated in over the course of the day. Everyone took Responsibility for their 

challenges and demonstrated great Resilience by carrying on even though they were not able to compete in every 

challenge  due  to  lack  of  numbers.  Students  modelled  Respect  perfectly  by  graciously  shaking  hands  and 

congratula ng  other  compe tors  and  despite  all  the  odds  managed  to  come  home  with  a  third  place. 

Congratula ons to all involved, and thank you all for a great day!

Fundamental Movement Skills at Home ‐ Kicking 

 

 Kicking is used in many different sports and children’s playground games. Prac se kicking at home and make sure your child:  

Takes a long step before making contact with the ball 

Places their non‐kicking foot next to the ball Kicks with their toe or shoe lace area of their 

foot  For more informa on go to www.healthykids.nsw.gov.au   

 Rewarding Children 

 Take care when using food as a reward for children. This encourages children to eat when they are not hungry and can develop a habit of using food to feel good.  

 Other ideas for rewards include: 

* S cker or star chart * Give praise 

* Small presents e.g. bouncy balls, sta on‐ary, pens 

* $2 to spend at a novelty store * Family ou ng
