Quality Work Wall
The next time you are in the school foyer have a look at our new ‘Quality Work Wall’. Each class teacher has selected a sample of a students work to display. This fortnight the theme is handwriting.
Social Media – Instagram
This week I was informed that there was is an Instagram account listed as Bolwarra Public School. Please note that this not a school endorsed account and it has no link to the school. I have referred the site to the Department Of Education for further investigation. There are a number of current students listed as followers of the page. I urge all parents to make sure they are aware of what sites their children are accessing. For further information about cybersafety please click on the following link: www.schoolatoz.nsw.edu.au/technology/cybersafety
School Vocabulary Challenge
This week we launched our School Vocabulary Challenge. Over the next two weeks I will be visiting every classroom to listen to each of the students read. Each student will receive a Vocabulary Book that contains 50 word lists. Once students have been placed in a starting level they are encouraged to learn their list. To move to the next level students need to be able to; correctly read every word in the list, correctly spell five of the words (randomly selected), and correctly use three of the words in a sentence (randomly selected).
The Vocabulary Challenge aims to increase student vocabulary, improve spelling and student understanding of word meaning and context. Students are encouraged to learn and practice their words at home. When they are ready to be tested on the next level they complete the blue notification slip and hand it to their teacher.

Birthday Book Club
When it is your child’s birthday, they have the opportunity to donate a book of their choice (already purchased by the library) for the small cost of $6.00. After paying, the children can come to the library and select a birthday book.
The books will be presented to the children on assembly. Each book will have a special message inside saying who has donated the book. The birthday child will be the first to borrow the book. Two students are joining the birthday book club this week. Welcome Chloe and Mats.
Hunter Schools Dance Festival
Girls’ Basketball
Well done to our girls' basketball team who played in a knockout gala day. The girls had a nail biting first game against Tenambit, winning 10-9 in extra time. Next we had a win against Thornton and were defeated in the third game by Ashtonfield. All girls demonstrated out-standing sportsmanship and effort, especially seeing as though most of them had never played basketball before!
