A message from our executive...

Rock Throwing

I have included a letter from the Moree police about some of our children

throwing rocks at trucks coming along the Highway.

This has resulted in serious accidents occurring where the windscreen is

smashed and the driver has lost control of the rig.

Can you impress on your children the dangers of this practice. The police will

be doing random checks on students on the streets after dark.

Athletics Carnival

This will be held next Friday 31st May at school. We would like to see as

many parents as possible.

Dakoda McGrady

for getting accepted

into the Nura Gili

Indigenous program

at the University of

New South Wales.

Last term year 5 & 6 studied water quality

and river systems with the assistance of the

Border Rivers Gwydir Catchment Manage-

ment Authority.

Firstly Toni from the Goondiwindi office,

who has taken over from Iestyn Taylor, im-

pressed us all by being able to identify seven

unlabeled water samples using her instru-

ments. Students were then taught how to

measure and collect data themselves.

The unit of work culminated in an excursion

to the Thallgarrah Education Centre near

Armidale and then down the rivers to Graf-

ton and Yamba. We were testing water all

the way.

Students were able to use scientific instru-

ments to collect data on water quality and to

study how water bugs can tell a lot about wa-

ter quality as well.

Kiarna Wightman especially impressed her

teachers with her keen focus. Darren Dun-

can discovered a very unusual water bug

which we have been trying to identify with

the assistance of the Australian Museum. No

luck there yet.

The principal at Thallgarrah was very compli-

mentary on the groups Gamillaaraay language

skills. He said were the best Aboriginal lan-

guage students he had met..

Year 5/6 get water wise.
