Principal’s Report
Dear Parent/Caregiver
Graduation Assembly
Today was an exciting, yet sad day
as we celebrated the achievements
of our Year 6 and Year 10 students
at their graduation assembly. To the
few Years 6 students leaving The
Rock Central to explore the
education provided at other schools,
I wish you all the best and hope that
you will fulfil your dreams and
become the people you want to be.
To our Year 10 students, all of you
have journeys that are going to be
very different to one another. Some
will be going into Year 11 at schools
that meet their educational needs,
some will be going to TAFE and
others are off to work. Wherever
your destination lies, you will always
remember where it started, and
that was here.
School Sport—Swimming
This is a reminder that this
Thursday and next Thursday we will
be having swimming for sport. All
students are expected to
participate and any students who
feel the need to opt out will be
supervised at school doing theory on
water safety. With the holidays so
close, we do not want any students
to have an unhappy experience
around water or while swimming.
Please support this initiative with
your children.
Year 10 Formal
We are all looking forward to the
Year 10 Formal Dinner next Monday
evening, 2nd December, at The Rock
Hall. I know we always look forward
to the wonderful dresses and the
’dapper’ suits, the great food and
best of all the company of so many
friends and family all celebrating
the achievements of our Year 10
students.
The photo session commences at
6.00pm on Monday evening if you
would like to come down and support
the wonderful young people of The
Rock.

Community News Launch of Re-enactment of the Kangaroo Recruitment March
(originally left Wagga on 1st December 1915)
on Saturday 7th December 2013 at 1.00pm, Victory Memorial Gardens
Come dressed in period costume (raid grandma or grandad’s wardrobe), if not
bring an umbrella, wear an old-fashioned sunhat or an old and battered
Akubra and watch children singing, displaying banners similar to the ones
back in 1915. Banner & Best Costume Competition

Come and enjoy a great day.
We recently held a softball game between the K-10 students and staff. It was a great
afternoon of fun, with the victors being the students by a ‘number of runs’. The challenge has been
thrown down by the staff for another game soon to see if they can redeem themselves and even the
score. We are all looking forward to that.

27th November 2013 Dear Parents Here we are in the last few weeks of our child/ren’s school year at The Rock Central School and what a year our children have experienced!! A lot of the experiences the children have been able to participate in have been kindly sponsored and supported by the P & C.
The yummy sausage sizzle that was conducted in lieu of an operating canteen was organised and run by the P & C.
‘Hot Shots’ program, where children were exposed to tennis was a huge
success and again funded by the P & C. Swimming lessons at the end of Term 3 was partially funded by the P & C, with
transportation costs being fully funded to ensure your cost as parents was so low.
Involved in the planning and organising of, and providing all catering at The
Rock Central School Fete. These are just a few examples of how your P & C is active within the school, however, there have been many more activities within the school where the P & C have played an important role. We are asking of you now to help us as we move forward, by participating in the P & C. Involvement offers you the opportunity to help direct the school into the future, continuing to provide such an excellent environment until your child / ren leave us in Year 10. Please consider attending our meetings, which are held Wednesday evenings of Weeks 3 and 7 of each term. It would be great to see you at one of these meetings, so you can be involved in our planning for the future of The Rock Central School. Regards Deb Emmett Vice President, P & C
