Principal’s report

Welcome back to a busy term!

Welcome to Term 4. I trust all of our families enjoyed a

lovely holiday and are ready and have re-charged their

batteries! Get set for an incredibly busy term full of

wonderful learning opportunities. Our Term 4 calendar

is attached – please keep this as a reminder of the

many events coming up.

Welcome 2017 Kinders!

Our 2017 Kindergarten students will commence their

transition program this week. On Friday we have a

special buddy session, where the children will get the

opportunity to meet their big Stage 3 buddies for next

year. Our buddy program is highly valued and greatly

loved by both the kinders and the big kids alike.

Stage 3 off to Canberra

In Week 3 the Stage 3 students will head off for a 2 day

excursion to Canberra. Here they will visit Questacon,

the Australian Institute of Sport, Parliament House and

the Electoral Education office – just to name a few

places on the itinerary. Parents of Stage 3 children are

reminded that medical notes and final payments must

be in by this Friday to ensure all organisation can be

finalised.

Dance Spectacular

Once again our much-loved Dance Spectacular is

being held! Last year, due to the unavailability of a

dance teacher, we were forced to forgo our program

and concert. This year will be an Olympic themed

spectacular involving every child. The concert will be

held on Thursday 3 November at the Junee High

School MPC, commencing at 7:00 pm. Stay tuned for

more details as the event nears closer. Make sure you

bring the family along – it will be spectacular!!

Junee Show

The annual Junee Show is being held next Saturday 22

October. This is a wonderful community event for all.

Once again our classes will showcase their art work in

the pavilion – make sure you pop in and take a look.

Stage 2 Swimming Scheme

Our Stage 2 students will once again participate in our

10-day swimming program. All students are expected

to participate with all levels of ability catered for. The

school is heavily subsidizing this program to ensure

water safety and confidence for all Stage 2 students.

University NSW English Competition

Congratulations to all of our students who participated

in the University of NSW English competition. Special

mention to Hailea Baker –Shephard (Merit Award);

Aimee White, Will Holloway & Brandon Collins (Credit

Awards) and Eleanor Baldock & Tahlia White

(Distinction Awards).

1/2W Movie Stars!

Well done to 1/2W who has made it through to the

finals of the Goethe-Institut School Film Festival. Their

wonderful movie was screened last term to a captive

audience of students, parents and staff. The film will be

shown in Sydney on Thursday 20 October. A huge

thank you to Lindsie Newham and Alexandra

Schachtner who made this film possible. What a

wonderful achievement for you all! Good luck!

Sports news

Riverina Athletics

Congratulations to Jaxson Allen, Kye Wright, Bayley

Guinan and Cooper Wright who all put in a wonderful

effort at last term’s Riverina Athletics Carnival. Bayley

came away with a commendable 6th

place in shot put;

Kye has been named 1st reserve for the 100m. Cooper

attained 1st place in the 10 years high jump and Jaxson

placed 1st in the 100 m and second in the 200 m. Both

Cooper and Jaxson will now head to Home Bush in

Sydney next week where they will represent the

Riverina at the State Carnival. Well done boys on a

fantastic effort!

Assemblies on Thursdays

We have decided to keep our assembly day on

Thursdays for the rest of this year. Our assembly day

was changed last term due to our dance instructor only

being available on Fridays. We have had to schedule in

2 more dance rehearsals – 1 this Friday and another

(hopefully!) next Friday 21st. Our Kids Matter

committee has also been working on plans for greater

opportunities for our students, and greater parental

participation, and has requested that Fridays be

available for future events. Fridays are our only day

free from interruptions / changes to classes so Fridays

allow us to be more flexible with our planning.

I understand that Thursday assemblies may not suit all

of our families and we do try to cater as best we can by

notifying of special awards and classes presenting at

assembly. Unfortunately there are times when we

cannot satisfy all. Any parents with concerns regarding

our assembly days are welcome to contact me.


What’s happening in our school?

Stage 2 Dubbo Excursion – amazing!

Last term our Year 3 and 4 students travelled to Dubbo

where they experienced a wonderful 2 days, the

highlight of which was camping at the zoo! No doubt

they will remember their excursion for many years to

come.


Paralympic Day

Well done to our Kids Matter committee – Miss

Walters, Mr Maxwell, Mrs Fitzgerald, Mrs Davis and Mrs

White on organising this fantastic day! The children

had an absolute ball designing their flags, costumes

and chants! They participated in everything from

wheelchair basketball, 3-legged races, seated volleyball

to blind-folded bowls! Huge thanks to Robin Asmus for

assisting with the provision of wheelchairs. The day

was not only fun, but provided our students with

opportunities to cooperate and problem-solve and

develop an appreciation for our paralympians.
