Principal’s Report

District PSSA Swimmers

In week 5 our school swimming team competed at the

district swimming carnival at Cootamundra. The team

performed bravely against some very talented

swimmers, with some outstanding results.

Zac Green and Keegan Newman were runner ups in their

age groups on the day.

Kaitlyn Heir and Zac Green represented our school at

the Riverina carnival at Albury.

Easter Fun

Can you believe our Easter Fun Day is only 4 weeks

away?! Our SRC will once again be running our Easter

Egg Raffle and we will be seeking donations of Easter

eggs from families – see note regarding our Fun Day

later in this newsletter.

Healthy Harold visits us

Once again Healthy Harold has visited Junee North,

providing very important learning experiences to all of

our students. This year our students were very fortunate

to have this opportunity at reduced cost to our families.

Our school very generously subsidised the program,

ensuring every child participated. The Life Education van

supports our PD/H/PE syllabus, covering areas such as

making lifestyle decisions with regards to healthy eating

and physical exercise, medicine safety, managing peer

pressure, bullying, how our body systems work and what

can affect them in positive and negative ways.

Afternoon Pick Up Time

Any child being collected by a parent in the afternoon

must wait inside the school gate until their parent

comes. Students are not permitted to walk out of

the front gate unattended.

In order to ensure the safety of all students we ask that

our parents refrain from waiting on classroom

verandahs or ramps as this makes it very difficult for

teachers to monitor children leaving at the end of the

day, as well as being unsettling when children spot

mum or dad out of the classroom window! Parents are

welcome to wait near the playground equipment or

basketball court.

No children (including preschoolers or toddlers should

be on the playground equipment at the end of the day.

P&C Meeting

Our P&C meeting was well attended last week, with

many new faces and lots of great and exciting new

fundraising ideas for Junee North. Watch this space!

The AGM was held with all executive positions being

filled. Congratulations to the following people for

being elected to fill positions on our P&C:

President: Mr Kim Lemmich

Vice President: Mr Anthony White

Secretary: Mrs Bianca Guthrie

Treasurer: Mrs Teri Edson

Student Use of Digital Devices &

Online Services

The NSW Department of Education has developed a

new Student Use of Digital Devices and online

Services Procedure Policy. Junee North has

developed our policy to comply with our school needs.

This policy has been developed in consultation with

parents at our P&C meeting last Tuesday. The

implementation of the policy does not mean many

changes to our current school policy and procedures.

Students are still required to hand in all electronic

devices each morning to the front office and collected

from there each afternoon. Devices are not to be used

on the school site, including while waiting at the

bus/walkers lines. Devices are not permitted at any

school activity, sporting event or excursion, including

overnight excursions. A copy of the policy has been

sent home with this newsletter. Please pay close

attention to the following sections:

Our School’s Approach

Exemptions

Consequences for inappropriate use at our

school.


House Champs!

As part of our positive behaviour initiatives, last

Thursday saw the announcement of our fortnightly

House Champs – well done to Floyd students who

managed to achieve a total of 193 points for respectful,

responsible and safe behaviour and positive classroom

effort.

Thumbs Up! A big thumbs up to all of our wonderful parents who

have requested an interview time with class teachers.

Your child’s learning is very important to us.

Reminders

No Hat Play in the Shade

School hats must be worn during break, PE and sport

times. Please ensure hats (& other items are clearly

labelled with your child’s name.

School Banking

Dollarmite information packs will be distributed to our

new students. Students are to put their bankbooks into

their class bank bags.

What’s happening in our school.

Junee High School Student Helpers- Matilda, Clayton,

Tenaya and Grace visit every 2nd Monday to assist in

the classrooms.

Girls Cricket

PSSA Girls Cricket- Junee North v South Wagga

Played at Bolton Park on Tuesday 3rd March, 2020

Junee North won the toss and sent South Wagga in to

bat first. We had the perfect start when Emily got a

wicket in the first over. From there though South Wagga

batted impressively. Amelia took an excellent catch off

Claire’s bowling to get a second wicket. Montana

bowled one batter, while Emily took a good catch off

Sienna Butt’s bowling. Montana got a second wicket as

well. Seanna Bailey was tremendous as wicketkeeper,

and Milly also did a fine job in what is a challenging

position. In the face of many hard hit shots, our bowlers

and fielders remained determined and held up well.

South Wagga made 145 in their 25 overs.

South Wagga bowled superbly when we started batting.

Emily and Amelia did an excellent job early on to survive,

with Amelia unfortunately getting out just as things

were about to become easier. At this point Emily

accelerated, hitting eight fours before having to retire

on 40. She had another fantastic partnership, this time

with Millie, who in her first game was very impressive

with the bat. Bianca also batted well with Emily,

particularly when the opening bowlers returned to have

another go. A couple of unfortunate run outs saw us

lose some quick wickets, although our final batter

Delaney helped herself to four runs with a handy edge.

Junee North were all out for 80.

Thanks to the parents and other adults who provided

transport and support, your help and positive vibes were

most appreciated! For most of the girls it was their first

game of cricket and it was exciting them continue to

improve from when we first started training. This is a

credit to their perseverance and the effort they have put

in. Thanks for playing girls! Mr B

District Basketball Trials

Riley Dobson recently tried out for the PSSA District

Basketball team in Temora. Riley demonstrated

outstanding skills and leadership. Well Done Riley.

District Soccer Trials

Last Friday, Claire O’Rafferty, Zac Green, Bodhi Thelan,

Caleb Kearnes & Jovan Manutai travelled to

Cootamundra to participate in the PSSA District Soccer

team trials. Congratulations to Caleb Kearnes who was

successful in being selected in the PSSA District team.

Caleb will head off to Wagga for the Riverina Trials on

25 March. Well done!


PSSA District ALF trials

Jack Henderson will participate in the PSSA District

selection trials this Friday. Good Luck!

A Visit from Needles

Last Thursday Kindergarten Red had a visit from Chris

and Needles the Echidna. We read a book that taught

us about sharps. We know that if we see a sharp in a

play area, we must not touch it and we must tell a

grown up. Sharps include glass, needles, knives and

blades.
