Principal’s Report

Last Wednesday we were lucky to be joined once

again by Ken McAlister for our ANZAC ceremony.

Thank you to Dana, Hugh, Summer, Monty and

Tyson for a fantastic job in running the ceremony

and well done to all the students who showed

respect during the service. Thanks to Mrs Millar,

Mr Harris and Mrs Gault for providing a beautiful

morning tea and thanks to the parents that came

along to join our service. After the service the 3-6

students participated in some interesting and

challenging compass activities with Mr McAlister.

We are all getting prepared to become film stars

tomorrow. There will be a film crew here from

Teach NSW to make a short promotional film on

teaching and learning in a rural school. The

students are asked to wear their best school

uniform to school and bring their joggers and

shorts – the students will wear our Quandialla

sport shirts later in the day.

The Forbes Small Schools Athletics carnival will

be held this Friday, 10th May. Children running in

the 1500m need to be at Forbes Public School by

8:20am, everyone else is asked to arrive at

Tuesday 7th

8.45am to get prepared for the marching.

Students need to wear their sports uniform with

navy track pants and bring some navy shorts. It is

predicted to be cold on the day so be sure to rug

up.

On Monday Summer and Dana tried out for the

Lachlan Netball team, by all reports they had a

great day and played well.

The next few weeks are going to be busy with

NAPLAN, Musica Viva, choir practise in

Caragabal and the Henry Lawson Festival Play

Day. Mr Ferris and I will also be away at training.

Mrs Ryan and Mrs Day will be covering the

classes on the days Mr Ferris and I are away.

The Lachlan PSSA Cross Country will be held on

May 24 at Forbes racecourse. No teachers from

our school will be attending the cross country, so

it will be the parents responsibility to get students

to and from Forbes, as well as supervise them

while they are there. A note will be sent home in

the next few days with more details.

This year we are going to compete in the

Premier’s Spelling Bee. Students will be given a

list of words to learn and a spelling bee will be

held here at school later in the term. From this

students will be chosen to represent our school.

More details of the spelling bee will be made

available over the next few weeks.

Once again I’d like to say it’s been wonderful to

see all students at school before 9am and our

attendance is improving from last term. If your

child is away from school it is asked that you

provide an explanation for their absence within 7

days. If no explanation is given a note will be sent

home asking for you to provide a reason. An

explanation can be provided through a written

note, an email to the school, a phone call to the

school or in person at the school.
