From the Principal’s desk…

We had a beautiful day for the Athletics

Carnival last week, which was a nice change

from last year’s freezing day in June.

Congratulations to those students who

attended the carnival. It was great to see all

students participate in a variety of events. The

cheering and encouragement for other

students was amazing and is something our

students should be proud of.

We have Charles Sturt University Practicum

teacher, Grace Fixter here for the next five

school weeks. Grace is training to be an

Agriculture teacher and will spend most of her

time in the Year 7-10 classes. We know she will

enjoy her time at UCS.

Our new bubbler has been installed and is

looking nice and bright in the playground.

Students are able to use the bubbler only to

refill their water bottles due to COVID-19

restrictions. Hopefully they will be able to use

the entire bubbler soon.

In other exciting news, we now have an

industrial dishwasher installed in the Food

Tech room. This will be invaluable,

particularly for UCS YUM. To extend on this

exciting news, Breakfast Club and UCS YUM

will return next term. I know our community

members will be relieved to hear this!

Year 11 are currently sitting their end of Year

11 exams. They will then begin Year 12 in Term

4, with only four terms left at school until they

finish. Good luck Year 11!

We are currently seeking feedback from

students, staff and parents. The following link

will take you to our Tell Them From Me parent

survey:

http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/ungarie

Please take the time to fill in the survey as we

do not receive results if we don’t have the

minimum number of completed surveys

required. We are also randomly selecting

parents to take part in a survey. Our office staff

will ask five simple questions:

1. Are your children in primary, secondary or

both?

2. What are your hopes and aspirations for

your children when they finish school e.g.

uni, trade

3. What are two things you think we do well?

4. What are one or two things you think we

could improve on or add to what we do?

5. Is there anything else you would like to

add?

This is entirely confidential and the office staff

will not be adding names to the completed

surveys.

Until next week,

Terrie Payne

YEAR 5/6 PERSUASIVE TEXT – CEREAL BOXES

This activity was a great way for students to work together in creating something different that they can all be proud of. The painting is now displayed in their classroom. (Pictured left.)

Kindergarten and Year 1 have worked collaboratively to produce a progressive artwork. Students were given instructions to stand around the large table that was covered in white paper with a variety of different coloured paint pots in the middle. Each child was given one paint brush only to use throughout this experience.

The artwork started off with Mrs Tait giving the children instructions to paint a circle in front of them using whatever colour paint they liked. They then circled around the table and were given further instructions, for example, draw a circle inside the circle your friend has just painted, paint spots around the circle, paint a triangle with spots, and so on. After each instruction was completed, students moved to the next place at the table. They completed at least 5 laps of the table until there was no more space to paint.

On Thursday 10th September, it was great to

see the students involved in the Athletics

Carnival as they have had limited sporting

opportunities this year. The weather was

perfect and there was plenty of keen students

eager to participate in the track and field

events. The kindergarten students enjoyed

their first athletics carnival and the Year 12

boys, Josh Roscarel, Angus Williams and

Braden Payne were very competitive athletes

during their final school carnival. We all

appreciated the K/1 cheer squad, however,

we missed the support of parents and visitors,

due to the COVID -19 restrictions. .

Everyone competed with great enthusiasm

and displayed wonderful sportsmanship.

Congratulations to all age champions, and

Hannah Wilson and Angus Williams for setting

some new records.
