P&C 2020
I would like to congratulate and welcome our new school P&C Team for 2020: President Crystal
Paine, Vice-President Mel McCutcheon, Secretary Kelly Robertson, Treasurer/Canteen Treasurer
Kristel Chapman, Canteen Liaison Sophia Heckendorf and PBL Liaison Fiona Gibbs. With the
installation of our new committee we also farewell Louise Woods who has been a long time member
and Secretary of the P&C. Lou has done an amazing job over the years and we thank her for
dedication and involvement with our P&C and its many activities.
While the P&C executive has been set for the year there are still plenty of opportunities to be involved with our P&C
through volunteering in canteen, Mother’s and Father’s Day stalls, 3-6 Social canteen, athletics carnival canteen, and
our bi-annual fete. For more information on the P&C call our office on 6889 4566.
COVID-19 UPDATE
There is understandable concern in both schools and the wider community about the threat posed by Covid -19. It is
important we work together to take steps to minimise the spread of the virus to protect our community. We are
providing updates via our Facebook page and app where necessary to keep our community abreast of changes to the
situation.
The Secretary of the NSW Department of
Education Mark Scott has provided schools with
guidelines for all staff and students. The key
points he outlines are:
Stay home if you or your children are
sick.
Support good hygiene in schools with
frequent handwashing and hand
sanitising.
Report suspected and confirmed cases
of COVID-19.
Practise social distancing.
The department has been planning and
operating in accordance with its pandemic plan
to support the safety and wellbeing of staff and
students. With regard to concern about whether
schools should remain open the Department of
Education has indicated we are following advice
from the leading health experts in the country.
The decision about when and if to close schools
is a decision that will be made based on the best
health advice.

Week 8- Vocabulary
Find as many words as you can by using the letters from the word ‘knowledge’.
Mathematics Matters with 56T 5/6T have just completed a unit called 'If I were a Martian' in Mathematics. This unit explored place value in larger
numbers, equivalent fractions, expanded notation and fractions and decimals. Students were able to apply their
knowledge to a Math investigation where they took a look at the solar system. Students investigated how
Mathematics fits into the real
world, looking at the distances
between the sun and the planets,
the impact of gravity on the planets
and how this is all measured using
Mathematics. - Amanda Turnbull

PBL News What an exciting time we have been
experiencing at Narromine Public
School with so many students achieving
some amazing milestones with their
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL).
Congratulations to all the students who
participated in the 100 point reward
days and have been chosen in the PBL
spinner at assembly for demonstrating RHR.
Students have been learning how to demonstrate responsibility
this week through being encouraged to deal with their emotions
in appropriate ways including keeping hands and feet to self,
speaking with appropriate language, remaining calm using their
self-management techniques and refraining from making unsafe
choices. Students have also been learning to demonstrate
responsibility by doing their best. Doing their best means
students are trying their best at completing all learning tasks, they
show sportsmanship, they seek to challenge themselves, they
make positive efforts in every area of school life, they
demonstrate initiative and they are organised by having learning tools ready.
Well done to all the students who have been sighted applying responsibility by doing their best and dealing with
emotions while at school. Teachers have been on the lookout and been handing out SuperVals to these students.
