For so much, what shall we repay?

Our team debated over Zoom on Thursday 10 June in the second round of the competition. We drew the Affirmative side in the debate “That we should ban all sports involving animals” against Finley High School. We were represented by Lucy Shea, Mackenzie Dawson, Roree Moorhouse and Devlin Clarke with Max West acting as Chairman.

Our team developed a strong model and effective arguments in developing their case but on the day the negative team’s rebuttal and presentation of alternate arguments meant the Arts Unit adjudicator, zooming in from Sydney, awarded the close debate to Finley. It was a very interesting debate to observe and all speakers made clear and well-structured presentations.

We will debate against Murrumbidgee Regional High School in the first half of next term. Mrs Gardam, coach.

Round 2 Premier’s Debating for Stage Five

• Responsible

Term 2—Week 9 Principal: Mr Yvan Chambers BEd (UP/LS), GCertEd, PGCertEdLead, GCertDisSt, MEd (SpecEd) June 16, 2021

We pay our respects to the Wiradjuri and Nari Nari peoples who are the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn and work and also pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Reminding parents, carers and students about the NSW Department of Education’s School Student Uniform Policy is very straightforward.

“Schools expect students to wear the uniform during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when engaged in school activities out of school hours.”

But, is this the only reason we expect students to wear our school uniform? Is this a reason why we ask parents and carers to provide a school uniform and give reminders about it being worn? The answer is No.

Our school uniform is a reminder of the people who came before us. The people who served in a war and those who ensured a war memorial remembered them and provided future generations of school students with a place of education.

When students wear our school uniform they display our school colours and the symbols of the community’s war memorial. Purple for remembrance, brown for the honour boards and gold for the lettering on those boards. The colours represent the community; it speaks of the men and women, young and old, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people from our community.

Our school uniform reminds everyone who comes to or lives in or is born in the community that the school honours the extraordinary commitment made by people who enlisted from Hay and served in the First World War.

In 1923 the community acknowledged those who served, those who had an adventure and those who lost their lives. They reminded everyone about those who gave so much to others.

This act of remembrance has now been broadened to remember the people from the community who served in other wars and conflicts.

With an understanding or reminder of our school’s past, I thank parents and carers who ensure we honour those of the past. Your actions in providing the school uniform and reminders about its wearing demonstrate remembrance of the actions of our people.

Students take on the responsibility of wearing the school uniform every school day. Parents and carers already fulfil their part by the provision of the school uniform and the reminders about it being worn.

I remind the students that when we say, “For so much, what shall we repay”, the wearing of the school uniform is one way to repay and acknowledge.

Mr Y Chambers, Principal.

Term 2 — Week 9


The Under 14s and Under 16s boys teams travelled to Wagga Wagga on Tuesday for the small schools semi finals.

The Under 14s won one game and lost the other with exceptional performances by their captain, Jesse Lewis and backed up by Jacob Serukalou and Seth Gray.

The Under 16s won two out of three games with the last game being an absolute blinder with the team coming from behind to win 16-14. Late tries to Daniel Stewart and Sean Johnston and ‘Adam Reynolds like’ goal kicking from Jesse Lewis.

Special mentions to Jesse, Dyon, Jacob Lund and Jacob Serukalou who backed up and played in the Under 16s side to help them out.

Both teams played with grit, determination and a good team spirit the way league is meant to be played. They were a credit to the school and community. Thanks to Ms Booth for driving the bus and supporting the boys.

Pictured are players of the team, Jesse Lewis for U14 and Brad Callaghan for U16. Mr D Kerr

Clothing pool Do you have uniforms you would like to donate?

We would like to thank those families who have donated to our clothing pool.

We continue to need more second hand school uniforms and would appreciate any donations.

Any families who have items of our school uniform (both junior and/or senior) that is no longer needed, we would love to take those uniforms to benefit those in need.

Please take your donations to the front office.

Continued community support of the school uniform is greatly appreciated.

Wearing a hat at school At Hay War Memorial High School, we are committed to encouraging our students to always wear a hat whilst in the sun. To make this possible we have purchased a school cap for students. They are available from the front office for $10 or students can purchase a cap in the VIVO online store by using their VIVOs.

Hay War Memorial High School is a uniformed school.
