The Duri-Currabubula Boys
Softball Team played in the
Tamworth Gala Softball
Day this week. Our boys
came out swinging, win-
ning their first game
against Tamworth Public
19-3. They went on to play
against Tamworth South.
Unfortunately, the Tam-
worth South boys were far
too strong, but we kept on
trying to the end and were
defeated 20-1.
Our boys displayed great
sportsmanship and are to
be congratulated for their
efforts. William Ramsden
and Blake Christie are to
be congratulated on their
outstanding performance
yesterday.
Thank you to Mrs Crittle
and Mrs McMaster for
your assistance with
coaching, Mrs Kesby for
scoring the matches and
all the parents who helped
with transport.

Music
Mr Cole was sick last Thursday and will do a
catch-up lesson next Tuesday, as well as his usu-
al Thursday lessons. Don’t forget your music and
instruments.
Jennifer Johnston’s Position:
We have good news. Ms Johnston has signed
the resignation forms required and we can now
move ahead with the process of employing a
new teacher.
The Department requires us to go through a
particular process, involving a few options for
recruitment:
Step 1. Incentive—any teacher who has been
working in difficult schools in an isolated
location, has submitted a transfer for our area,
and meets the specific codes required.
Step 2. Aboriginal—an Aboriginal teacher who
has submitted a transfer for our area, and meets
the specific codes required.
Step 3. Merit Selection - The position is open for
application and interview.
We will know by the end of the week if the
position has been filled through either of the
first two options and a new teacher will begin
work at the school Day 1, Term 2. If it hasn’t, we
will begin the process of Merit Selection and aim
to have our new teacher at school by Week 5,
Term 2.
I thank you for your patience and support
throughout this process. Craig McDonald

Harmony Day
Duri will be celebrating
Harmony Day tomorrow,
Thursday 23rd March. We
will begin at 12.30pm with
taster plates for seniors and then juniors. Due to
limited refrigeration and reheating facilities, if
possible, could you please drop the meals at
school between 12.15pm and 12.30pm.
Students are to wear school uniform and may add
a touch of orange (the colour for Harmony Day) if
they wish. It should be a great lunch.
Library
Mrs McDonald has been very busy in the
beginning stages of a library stocktake and has
culled some old books. The students had lots of
fun yesterday selecting books to take home. It
was like a kid in a candy store. These books are no
longer needed at the school. Enjoy.
Student Banking
Tuesday is our student banking day. This program
aims to teach students the value of saving and to
develop life-long money skills.
A number of our students have qualified for
prizes through their consistent school banking. It
is not the amount of money banked that these
students are being rewarded for, but the number
of deposits made (however big or small). The
prizes will soon be delivered to the school and
awarded to these students.
Please see enclosed information on Future Saver
Rewards.
If your child wishes to sign up to student banking,
simply visit your local Commonwealth Bank
branch or sign up online. Visit
commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
