term and you will remain part

of our Nowendoc school fam-

ily. Leisha and Paul, we wish

you well on your new adven-

ture.

As the term ends I am drawn

to include this photo in the

final edition. I love it! It just

captures our ethos; Creativi-

ty, Collaboration and Care.

Have a safe and relaxing

Easter holiday and may the

sun continue to shine.

Keep smiling!

Thank you Lis, Lana, Hugh,

Parker, Emily, Phoebe, Lu-

cas Mrs Worth, Mrs Lock,

Mrs Higgins, Mrs Bullen, Mrs

Lyon, Mrs Callaghan, Max

Holstein, Nigel and Danielle

Robards, Catharine Doherty

and Beau Holstein, Rob and

Belinda Laurie, Paul and

Leisha Clifford and Mick

Bourke for a terrific first term.

Be warned that Lis may

come hunting for star talent

from our community for her

term 2 project, The Great

School Showoff, media com-

petition.

Our final two weeks has seen

the glorious autumn sunshine

continue to brighten our

days. AND sent our vegeta-

ble garden into a frenzy.

Rob’s soil , Mary’s worms,

the children’s exuberance

and Mick’s preening have

proved a very compatible

combination.

Monday saw our first harvest

of our Cos and Butter lettuce.

It seemed quite brutal pulling

them out as they have

brought a smile to my face

every morning. They contin-

ued to bring smiles as they

were drizzled in garlic aioli ,

scattered with croutons and

bacon, and crunched happi-

ly . Thanks to our ‘guinea

pigs’ for joining us in our im-

promptu fresh food feast and

thanks Mick for whipping it all

up.

This week we farewell Lana,

Hugh and Lucas Clifford. We

hope they will take away

warm memories of their term

at Nowendoc Public. Lana,

Hugh and Lucas, you have

added character, humour and

friendship, to our lives this

On Thursday 22nd March

parents transported their

children into Walcha Central

School for the Small Schools

Cross Country races. The

children ran with Walcha

Central School students, but

were not competing against

them for places. Every stu-

dent tried their best, but most

of all had a great time min-

gling with their peers and

being part of the atmos-

phere. Special mention must

go to Nowendoc’s own cheer

I’d just like to wish everyone

a safe holiday over Easter. I

will be on leave for the first

two weeks of term 2, I’m sure

I’ll find time to send a post

Happy, hungry Hugh hopped home with his hotdog.

Hugh, Year 2

Lovely Lana likes to lick lemon lollipops while lounging in the library. When sud-

denly a lion came in to look at Lana’s lollipop. The lion liked the lollipop. Lana

didn’t like the lion so she went to the laboratory. In the laboratory, she looked at

a lamb. The lamb was angry so the lamb threw a lamp at Lana. Lana went out-

side to look for ladybirds when she saw a lady on a ladder. Lana finished her

lemon lollipop and left to walk home to have lemonade.

Lana, Year 4

Ecstatic Elisabeth enjoys emu eggs during an Eminem concert. After Eminem,

Elisabeth went on an enthusiastic elephant to the equator. The equator was

extremely exotic and epic. Elisabeth’s enthralling day ended eerily when her

enthusiastic elephant exploded without explanation.

Young Leaders Conference

On Saturday 24th of March, I travelled to Sydney for the Young Leaders Conference. This is a conference for year 6 students from all over NSW. It is run by the Halogen Foundation, whose work is to inspire & influence young people to lead themselves and others well. It was held at the Entertainment Centre. It was really strange to be sitting in this huge building with nearly 7000 other year 6 students and their teachers. Mrs Bourke and I got some weird looks from big groups of students and their teachers but I know there were other small schools there too. The day was filled with speakers talking about their experiences as leaders. The two I liked the most were Anh Do and Ronni Kahn. Anh Do got the biggest cheer. He is a comedian and writer who came out to Australia on a refugee boat from Vietnam. We bought his book, The Happiest Refugee, and I was hoping to have my photo taken with him but he had to leave after his performance. Ronni Kahn set up Oz Harvest, a company which collects lefto-ver food and delivers it to charities. Both of these people seemed really nice and enjoyed giving to others.

Young Leader’s Conference

Hyper Dash

Our new PE game,

Hyperdash, has

been a huge hit. The

game challenges

the kids listening

and comprehension

skills, as they re-

spond to instructions

when they hit col-

oured domes. Agility

and speed are test-

ed throughout the

game. Maths skills

are applied. Integrat-

ed learning and fun!

Skipping

The glorious weather this term has helped produce a zeal for skipping. ‘I can’ts’

and frustrated groans have disappeared due to persistence , listening and re-

sponding to support, and taking risks. The right attitude and effort have brought

smiles and skipping success.

We did it...our vegie bed now!
