PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Musica Viva

Last Wednesday afternoon all students from

Transition to Year 6 enjoyed the musical talents of

Zeeko in a highly entertaining Musica Viva concert.

The three-person band began the concert by

blowing tunes across bottle tops before moving on

to bass and acoustic guitars, body percussions and

a range of unusual instruments from around the

world. Zeeko’s music helps students to creatively

explore nature and the importance of caring for

our planet.

Toonschool

Another fantastic learning opportunity was

provided to the students at Newling last week

when we were visited by Joffa from Toonschool.

The students were able to develop their creativity

through the art of cartooning while building

personal qualities such as perseverance and

resilience. Every student produced three artworks

and took away many new skills.

Camp Quality Fundraising BBQ

On Wednesday, Newling will be holding a

fundraising barbecue to raise awareness and

money to support the wonderful work done by

Camp Quality. The day will commence with the

Camp Quality puppet show at 9:15 and a barbecue

lunch provided by the school P&C will be held at 1

pm. All lunches were to be pre-ordered to assist

with catering.

Regional Spelling Bee

Four students will participate in the Regional

Spelling Bee today after winning the school

Spelling Bee earlier this term. We wish Hayden,

Abby- Mae, Nahri and Holly all the best as they

travel to Glen Innes to compete against other

students in the region.

Mixed Soccer Knockout

Last Monday our mixed soccer team travelled to

Gloucester to compete in Round 4 of the PSSA

Small Schools Soccer Knockout. It was a long day

of travel and despite our students putting in their

best effort, we were defeated by Stroud. The

students were fantastic representatives of

Newling and we are very proud of their efforts.

Clothing and Belongings

As Spring has arrived and the weather is

changeable, many students are removing their

jackets and jumpers during playtime and some

students are forgetting to collect their clothing as

they move back to class. Unlabelled clothing is

difficult to return to the owners, so now is a great

time to check that your child’s clothing is clearly

labelled with their name.

Star Awards

“You’re a Star Award” certificates were presented

at this morning’s assembly to successful students

who have been using the You Can Do It keys to

success and demonstrating persistence,

resilience, organisation, getting along and

confidence.

Congratulations to our recipients: David, Jezekie

and Lincoln.

Relieving Principal

We urgently need helpers to run our Canteen

every Friday.

Can you spare one Friday each term to help?

We want to keep having a canteen but without

people to help it might stop.

Please contact P&C – Joanne Tracey or Nancy

Smith - if you can help!
