Principal’s Report

2020 budget and class planning

We have recently received our anticipated funding for

2020. This, along with predicted enrolments will

determine the structure of our classes for next year. My

executive team and I are currently working through all

of this to determine staffing and classes for 2020. This

was discussed at the last P&C meeting as there may be

some changes to our staffing & class structures. We

hope to be able to provide our families with staff and

classes before the end of the year to ensure a smooth

transition for our students.

Stage 3 getting excited!

In Week 6 many of our Stage 3 children will be heading

off for their 3 day excursion to Ballarat. As our school

has been on this excursion many times, we know that

they will have a fantastic time – particularly spending a

day at Sovereign Hill. My thanks to Mr Maxwell, Mrs

Bailey and Mrs Makeham, who will be accompanying

the students, for giving up their own family time to

provide this wonderful opportunity. Watch out for some

super photos in the next few weeks! A reminder to

students and parents that our bus departs at 8:00am on

Wednesday 20th November!

Borambola Excursion

Stage 2 students had a fantastic time on their

Borambola excursion. It was certainly an active

experience for all! A big thank you to Mrs Davis, Mrs

New and Mrs Smith for all of their organisation and

giving up their own family time to supervise our

students.

Cyber Safety

It has come to our attention that quite a lot of our

students (even some in Year 2!) are using a variety of

social media sites – YouTube, Musically, Facebook,

TikTok & Snap Chat – to name a few. As teachers we

find it difficult to keep up to date with these sites, as

I’m sure do our families. We are investigating getting a

guest speaker to visit to have a talk to our students on

cyber safety and the dangers these sites pose/ are

posing for our students. I would urge parents to keep a

very close eye on the online activities their children are

accessing. Once we have lined up a speaker, I will also

be inviting our families to come along to hear about

many of the dangers allowing our children to use these

sites can pose. The following site from the Office of the

Children’s eSafety Commissioner is full of lots of great

advice:

Year 7 Transition & Parent

Information Meeting

The last Year 7 Transition to JHS day will be held

Tuesday 3 December at Junee High School,

commencing at 9:00am. Students are to make their own

way to the High School and meet Mrs Commins at the

MPC. Parents are invited to attend the Parent

Information session on this day at 9:00am. This session

will run for about 1 hour, then students will continue

with their transition activities and classes for the rest of

the day.

Lunches

Many students are turning up to school regularly

without food for the day which greatly affects the way

they function and learn for the day. We can cater for

the occasional emergency but it is vital that students

are provided with the right amount of food for the day.

Please assist us with this concern by checking that your

child has packed their food for the day.

What’s happening at JNPS?

Wiradjuri Corroboree

We were lucky to have been invited to the Wiradjuri

Corroboree school dance workshop at the

Marrambidya Wetlands in Wagga Wagga. Local

schools were invited to participate in the workshop in

preparation for the Corroboree the following day.

This was the first known recorded public Corroboree

held in Wagga Wagga, Wiradjuri County, since 1868.

This was such a rich experience for our students as we

danced in the dirt, experiencing such a connection to

country. – Mrs Makeham
