Term two is underway! Welcome back to school everyone. It is lovely to see students and staff enjoying catching up a er the holiday break. I can’t put my finger on it but there is something different about the playground this term. I have seen solid demonstra on of our PBL values of respect, resilience, responsibility and especially team‐work. Every day ma ers at Bowraville Central School. I encourage all students to quickly re‐focus their energy onto the important job of learning. Comple ng class work and making sure you are up to date with your studies will ensure you are well placed to reach your educa onal goals this term. For the Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 they have an immediate challenge of NAPLAN next week. Don’t forget your teachers are here to assist and support you so please seek them out for help. If you have missed out on some work or if you are not sure how to do something in your class go and speak to your teacher. Parents can support their students, research indicates the importance of nutri on, especial‐ly breakfast for young people, and at least 8‐10 hours of sleep each night. School Holiday Programme Congratula ons to the par cipa ng community organiza ons for the school holiday programmes. I was at school for the basketball and handball compe on with approximately 100 people on the day. Great spirit and teamwork shown by all. I believe the bike safety workshop was a hit with kids ge ng lots of giveaways including helmets and safety gear.
The Macksville show was on the first weekend of the holidays and the reformed BCS Ca le Club par cipa ng over the two days on Friday and Saturday. They were outstanding, I have received comments from staff and the general public that they were a credit to the school. There is a long and proud tradi on of showing ca le at the school and I would like to congratulate Ms Wilson for showing the ini a ve to reform the group. I believe we won Junior Champion and Reserve Champion. We then backed it up at the Bellingen show. Well done to all involved and to the staff and students who put together our school display. Best Regards, Dave Taylor

Friday saw our students par cipate in our annual Cross Country carnival, held at the Hennessy Tape oval. Under clear skies the first half of the event had runners struggling in the heat of above average temperatures. Lucky for the second half, the clouds moved in and temperature and breeze made running a lot easier. Although the event was a compe on with representa ve posi ons up for grab, it was also a social event with plenty of team compe on house points given out to students who came a place and points allocated to those who did not run compe vely but did par cipate. The winning house will be announced next week with the inaugural BCS Cross Country shield presented. Primary students have the opportunity of running this Friday at the Bellingen/Nambucca District carnival once again being held at the Hennessey Tape oval. Secondary students will also have the choice to represent at the next CHS Cross Country event.
