From the Principal’s desk…

This week brings us halfway through the term.

Before we know it, it will be Easter!

Students who have their Learners licence will

once again have the opportunity to have

driving lessons with Janene Richards this

year. Lessons only cost the students $5 and

each one-hour lesson counts as three hours in

their logbook. The feedback from students has

been extremely positive and there has been a

high success rate for students getting their

Provisional licence on their first attempt after

lessons with Janene. Students must return

their permission note before they can

participate.

It’s a busy time for sport, particularly in

primary. Darcy Cattle, Evie Henley and Lila

Henley took part in the Lower Lachlan PSSA

Tennis Trials on Monday. All three students

were successful in gaining a spot to trial for the

Western Area PSSA team in Parkes next

Wednesday.

On Tuesday, our PSSA AFL team competed at

the West Wyalong Gala day. This year we had

a young team, with some of our girls jumping

in to help make the team. They won one game

and lost three but showed incredible spirit and

never gave up. We must also thank those

students from Tullibigeal Central School who

joined our team. Congratulations to Tyler

Crofts, Darcy Cattle and Dustin Bryant who

were selected to trial for the Western PSSA

AFL team.

UCS have a mobile device policy that covers all

students in K-12. Students in Years 7-12 are

reminded that they are not to have their

mobile phones out in class unless instructed by

their teacher. They are able to have them out

during the second half of lunch. Parents are

reminded that all messages to and from

students should go through the front office.

West Wyalong High School have invited our

Year 5-8 students to a STEAM (Science,

Technology, Engineering, Art and

Mathematics) challenge day on the last day of

Term 1. To give our students the opportunity

to attend, we have made the decision to move

our Easter Hat Parade Assembly to

Wednesday 8th April. Our Cross Country will

also be held on Wednesday, before the

assembly.

Parent/Teacher meetings will be held on

Monday 6th April. Please contact the front

office to make an appointment with your

child’s teacher/s. We hope to see an increase

in attendance this year, as the numbers have

been disappointing in previous years. This is

your opportunity to discuss your child’s

progress and ask any questions you may have

about their learning.

Until next week,

Terrie Payne

SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

PBL

The Primary AFL team travelled to West Wyalong on Tuesday 3rd March to compete in the AFL Gala day against West Wyalong and Lake Cargelligo. This day is the start of the AFL trial system for the Western AFL team. Ungarie had to play West Wyalong Public first, and after a hard-fought game, our side went down by a goal. The second game was against Lake, which Ungarie won by 2 points. Our team had a break while West Wyalong and Lake played their match, which West Wyalong won easily. In years past, the organisers play a possibles/probables match at this stage, but this year they decided to play another round of matches! So Ungarie (who were quite tired by this stage) had to get back out there to play West Wyalong again. Unfortunately due to no subs (West Wyalong had 6, Lake had 4), Ungarie faded away in the next two matches against West Wyalong and Lake. They had no gas left in the tank, and as hard as they tried, got over-run by fresher opponents. After the second round of matches were played, a possibles/probables game occurred, where Tyler, Dustin and Darcy all went well and were invited to go to Parkes to trial for the Western team on March 16. Thanks go to the 3 Tullibigeal Central boys who helped us out, as well as the 4 Ungarie girls who all played well, without them we wouldn't have had enough players for a side.
