Term 4 Week 6 17th November 2016

Proud and Deadly Awards

Miss Curry accompanied our Indigenous students

to the Commercial Club last week to receive their

Proud and Deadly Awards. Students are

recognised for academic or sporting achievements,

citizenship and attendance.

Combined Band Performance

On Friday, Sturt students participated in the

combined schools band day at the Riverina

Conservatorium of Music. The children played

along with band students from Kooringal PS, South

Wagga PS and Lake Albert PS. The students

rehearsed in sectional groups and then performed

in a massed band of 108 students for parents and

friends. It was a wonderful day and thanks must go

to Jeff Donovan and Jenny Binovec for organising

the day.

Rhonda Seaman

Art’s Alive Band performs for our students

We were lucky enough on Tuesday to host the Art’s

Alive Band, a band of students from schools in

Sydney. They performed a wonderful arrangement

of songs that had the students enthralled and the

staff bopping along to some familiar Abba songs.

The band is currently touring around NSW.

Remembrance Day

On Friday we conducted a Remembrance Day

Ceremony at school to commemorate this

important day with our School Community. The

11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month has a

special significance in the post-war years. This was

the moment when hostilities ceased on the Western

Front in 1918 and has become universally

associated with the remembrance of those who

have died in war. Thank you to our student leaders

who lead this ceremony and Lachlan class for their

choral performance.

The Wizard and The Dragon

Written and typed by Brody

One spooky night there was a wizard

who lived in a haunted castle. The wizard wore glasses, had

a long beard and was stinky. He was really old and wrinkly.

The castle had smashed windows and no doors. So since his

windows were smashed and he did not have doors, he tried

to cast some repair spells, but they did not work. Then he

had an idea. His idea was good, better than the last idea.

So he went on a journey. His quest was, that he had to go to

a magic dragon and defeat it. Finally, he got there. He

slayed the dragon and he tried getting his doors and

windows fixed, but it didn’t work. It didn’t work because

the dragon was still alive. After he actually slayed the

dragon, this time, his windows and doors were fixed.

So he lived happily ever after.

The Wizard and The Portal

Written and typed by Lauren

Far away past hills forest and more was a

portal. Whoever went through this portal had unlimited

heath and could not die, but it was guarded by a wizard

named Dumbledore.

Dumbledore had a very long beard, he was really small, but

very powerful. One day five knights came along and said

“LET US PAST! or we’ll throw you into the dungeon”

One knight was very mad, so Dumbledore used his magic and

teleported him away. He froze the three knights, but there

was still one more. He got his sword out, Dumbledore got his

spell book out.

“ALISE” Dumbledore shouted.

“What?” said the knight

Then he was sent far away. Ever since, nobody ever came to

the portal again.
