Principal’s
Message
Week three of term is here already. This year
needs to slow down as I am getting too old to
keep up. This week at Trundle Central School is
Super 8s cricket on Wednesday. Hopefully it will
not rain and the match can go ahead. According to
the weather bureau this is the second wettest year
ever recorded in Trundle. Many people can
remember times of short periods of more intense
rain but according to the records this year to date
is the second wettest year. If you disagree ring
Canberra not Trundle Central School. This fact
proves to me yet again that Jesus Christ was a
fisherman not a farmer because I could almost
guarantee drought will come again.
Congratulations to parents attending Playgroup
run in partnership with Centacare Forbes. Last
week there was an amazing attendance making our
playgroup one of the most well attended in the
district. Playgroup has enormous social and
academic benefits for children and there is no
commitment to enrol your child in this school just
because yet again Public Education is providing a
free service to the community. In our budget
meetings the school has allocated money to help
local sporting and community organisations as part
of community engagement. This is in the form of
administration and facilities support.
In term three years 7/8 English students entered
the 2016 Write4Fun competition. Our students
received a Certificate of Excellence placing them in
the top 10 percent of over 10,000 entrants. Kylie
Fernando also has the honour of having her story
published by the organisation. This is an
outstanding achievement. Well done students and
Mrs Gallacher. The school will purchase a copy of
the publication for our library. The challenge for
us now is to do even better next year which I am
sure we will.
Last week the good people from Bunnings Forbes
came to plant the gardens for the sporting hall of
fame the school is establishing to recognise
current and former champions. The gardens will
make this area yet another feature of our school.
Whilst they were here they commented that our
school was the neatest and most attractive school
they have visited. Well done to Mr Grady and Mr
Mudge for the standard of school grounds. This is
high praise as this team visits numerous schools
across the region. The comment does not make
me think we have achieved our goal in terms of
grounds improvement it makes me wonder where
is the best kept public school in the state is and
how can we be better than them.
The school is currently looking back through the
records to determine the first inductee into the
hall of fame. The idea of this area of the school is
to recognise and celebrate sporting achievement.
The front office has boards for academic
achievement and citizenship. It seems natural for
sport also to be recognised.
The quote for the top dressing of the oval has
been returned. It is about what it would cost for a
new family car so even if I count the piggy bank twice it will not cover the costs. That is fine
because my stars said I was going to come into
some money. I found two dollars in the washing
machine today I hope that is not the extent of my
good fortune. Maybe a politician campaigning in a
tight election may want to drop a cheque in or a
wealthy former student.
The current weather is very mild but it will
become hotter. Please ensure your child has
plenty of water when attending sport or other

outside events. The school water chiller will be
turned back on for the bubblers in the near future.
It is amazing to have this facility thank you to the
P&C. Please do not give your child mixed–up
cordial as the sugar content is enough to make
even a turtle hyperactive. Sports drinks are for
elite athletes so these are not necessary. A
rigorous game at recess is hardly reason to require
re-hydration with sports drinks so water is the
best.
High School students should be studying for their
upcoming exams. These exams form part of the
assessment process. It is important that students
have formal examinations because many students
do not perform as well as they should because of
an inability to perform under exam pressure.
Whilst progressive assessment has reduced the
absolute focus on the exams students still need to
be able to perform under exam pressure especially
in the Higher School Certificate. Indeed, life
requires you on many occasions to move beyond
your nerves and fears and tackle situations and
issues that are confronting and uncomfortable.
School excursions for most students are an
exciting social time. For others unfortunately they
can cause considerable stress. Social isolation to
some is temporary. It can occur when a
breakdown of a peer group occurs or a child is
forced to move schools. For others it becomes a
permanent part of their life which they either learn
to cope with or it creates a permanent scar on
their self esteem and confidence. Social isolation is
often highlighted to children during activities such
as excursions which is ironic because one of the
main functions of excursions is to teach children
to socialise. I encourage parents to talk to their children about the challenges these types of
activities can create for your children but also
highlight the amazing opportunities they create. I
would also encourage parents to have a break
knowing your children are well cared for and safe.
There is no need to feel guilty if you have less
children in your house, savour the solitude.
Child sexual assault is one of the most horrendous
crimes that unfortunately is far too common in
Australia. 1 in 5 girls and 1in 15 boys will suffer some form of sexual assault before the age of 15.
The primary agent for protecting children is always
the family but the sad fact is the vast majority of
assaults on children occur from family members or
friends of the family. Another awful fact is the
majority of assaults are not reported meaning the
statistics I gave above are far from the real extent
of the problem. Contained in this newsletter is a
flyer that outlines five basic body rules that young
children should be taught. I realise some members
of the community believe the school newsletter
should not highlight these issues in society. I
believe however, that as the leader of public
education within the town I have a responsibility
to raise public awareness of what is a crime.
The school to work students have made a
considerable difference to the school this year.
The latest addition is increased seating and the
replacement of gardens. The boys would now like
to construct things for sale from old car steel car
rims. If you have them lying around your house,
please donate them to the school. School to work
is a program designed to make students more
work ready before they leave school allowing
them a head start in the job market.
A big thank you to Raymi Howarth who has
donated tubs of playdough to the school. It makes
me enormously proud when students think of the
school above themselves.
Another great week in Trundle
John Southon.

What a great start to the term! Transition has
once again started and it is lovely to see our Pre-
schoolers settled in to the school so quickly. They
are thoroughly enjoying the activities Ms Downes
has provided for them and all the children can’t
wait to start in 2017.
Years 2/3/4/5 have been making good use of this
Transition time also. They have been participating
in whole group writing activities with Mrs Gray,
Mrs Southon, Mrs Bridger, Mrs Charlton and Mrs
Sanderson. This is allowing our students to engage
in explicit writing instruction. They are developing a
range of skills to ensure they become confident writers.
PSSA State Athletics in Sydney Congratulations to Jamie
Harper who participated in
the State Athletics carnival
last week. He competed in the 12/13 year old Boys
Long Jump event. This shows his dedication to
Athletics. This experience is something he will
remember for a very long time.
Sun Safe Policy This term is a No Hat No Play term. Students
MUST wear a wide brimmed hat. This means
that if they do not have a hat, they cannot
participate in any outdoor activities including
lunch time play. We keep a small selection of spare
hats for those students who accidently forget their
hats. These hats are washed
regularly but are not to be used
every day by the same students.
We will endeavour to call parents
to let them know their child has
forgotten their hat so that it can
be found. Please make sure you put your
child’s name inside their hat.
Kindergarten/Year 6 Transition This week will be the third week of Kindergarten/
Year 6 Transition sessions that will run throughout
the term. This year the sessions will run from
8:55am – 11:20am. This will allow the Pre-
schoolers and Year 6 to engage in some fantastic
activities to ensure the transition from both
Preschool and Primary School is a smooth and
enjoyable experience.
All classes in primary will be moving up into the
next group for these sessions. It is a great way for
the students to practise being in a new class.
Year 3/4/5/6 Excursion to Sydney Our parent information session,
scheduled for this Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30pm, is to answer
any questions about our three days
away. It is very important for all
parents to attend to ensure there
is clear communication between the school and
parents. If you have not finalised your payments
please do so as soon as possible.
K-6 Swimming For Sport All K-6 children will be going to
the pool for sport from Week 4 until the end of
the term. Please return your
notes as soon as possible.

League tag On Thursday the 20/10/2016 we went to Grenfell
to play League Tag. We finished second overall in
our pool. The first game was a forfeit as Peak hill
arrived late, so we had a very competitive game
against ourselves. Our second game was against
Parkes Christian school winning seven to one.
Brooke and Monique both scored three tries’ each
and Eloise scored one. Next game was against
Henry Lawson. We won four to one, Monique and
Willa each scored a try and Brooke crossed the
line twice. Our final game was tough against
Molong Central where we tied nil all. All the girls
played extremely well and to their hardest.
We would also like to thank Mrs Morgan for taking us and letting us eat our disappointment
away at McDonalds.

War
Stay low go fast
kill first die last
One shot one kill
No luck all skill
No blood no tears
All here for our peers
1 down 2 to go
3 weeks until we go
Bullets flying through the air
I am one that does care
Suffering duties on the field
Watching mates get killed
Mates lying on the ground
Not making any sound
People say he might be dead
But he is with me in my head
Ryan Taylor
Write4Fun During term three a group of students in years 7 and 8 entered a short story and poetry writing com-
petition called Write4Fun. The Write4Fun is a competition open to students in all grades, kindergarten
to year 12, across Australia, which encourages students to write about topics that interest them, with
some great prizes for the winners.
This year Trundle Central School was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for Outstanding Student
Achievement in the Write4fun 2016 Schools Writing Competition. We received this award because our stu-
dents successfully progressed beyond the initial rounds of judging in the 2016 competition. This places
Trundle Central School students in the top 10% of the 10,000 entries received from the schools who
participated this year.
Not only is this an outstanding achievement for our students, but the students who progressed
through to this level (pictured above) have been invited to have their entries published as part of the
2016 Word Zone, a collection of outstanding works entered in the Write4fun competition each year.
Winners of the competition will be announced on Wednesday 26th October, however, each of these
students deserve a pat on the back for their outstanding achievement at a national writing level. This is
the English class equivalent of making State! Trundle Central School prides itself on providing the best opportunities for it’s students, and this is a
clear example of how the students of TCS rise to the challenges they are set, not only on the sporting
field but in the classroom as well!
If you see any of these students be sure to congratulate them on their hard work and creativity.

Forbidden Love - By Emily Harper “It’s okay you can let me go.” “I will never let you go.” I awaked breathing heavily from the vivid dream I’ve had every time I’ve slept since my mother died. “Leora, are you awake?” My uncle’s voice jolted me from my train of thought. “Yes Uncle Colt.” “Come down as soon as your dressed for breakfast.” “Yes Uncle.” I grabbed my nightgown and swiftly put it on while walking out my doors and down the stairs to the grand dining room. “Uncle, you wanted to see me?” “Yes I did, sit.” I sat down slowly and looked worriedly at Uncle. “You only have today left of Witch Hunting training, make it worthwhile Leora.” Me and my whole family were proud and royal witch hunters. “I understand Uncle.” “Good, follow me.” I followed him until he stopped in front of a rusted, wooden door that had been locked for years. He unlocked it and we walked in together. I looked around and tried to squint to see and then he turned on the bright flo-rescent lights. “This is your present.” I looked around in awe and gasped. It was my own personal weapon room. Everything was sharpened and ready for use. I picked up a golden chest that made the whole room brighter. I wiped the dust of its lid and saw the initials J.C.R. “That chest you are looking at is you're great-great-great grandfathers, Johnathan Christopher Ravenswood.” “Can I open it?” “Of course. It is yours know.” I opened the lid carefully and picked up the ruby decorated dagger. “This is beautiful.” I whispered as I turned it over for further inspection. “That it is. It’s even blessed with angel blood. You stab a witch anywhere with this dagger and it will kill them nearly instantly.” “Okay. I’m going to start training now.” I took of my nightgown and got to training. I started by throwing knifes and shooting arrows at animatronics designed to look like witches. I never missed a single shot. A pair of hands started clapping slowly. I bowed knowing who was watching me train. “Hello Kellin.” I said still having my back to my best friend. “Hello Leora. I was just in and thought I would see you.” “Thanks” “How are the dreams going.” Kellin asked in a concerned voice. “They’re still the same. As always. They just feel like they’re getting closer and louder.” “Leora I need to tell you something-” “Who on earth are you talking to Leora?” My uncle boomed with his loud voice. He barged into the room and saw Kellin and his eyes filled with rage and anger. “What is a witch doing in our house?” He yelled out. “What do you mean?” I yelled back. “Him!” He pointed his gun at Kellin’s chest and pulled the trigger but I leaped out in front of the gun and got shot. The pain was pure agony. “It’s okay you can let me go Kellin!” “I will never let you go Leora!”

Students at the Magisterium are sup-
posed to be safe. Under the watchful
eyes of the mages, they are taught to
use magic to bring order to a chaotic
w o r l d .
But now the chaos is fighting back. Call,
Tamara, and Aaron should be worrying
about things like pop quizzes and magic
contests. Instead, after the shocking death of one of their classmates, they
must track down a sinister killer… and
risk their own lives in the process.
As Call, Tamara, and Aaron discover,
magic can only be as good as the per-
son who wields it. In evil hands, it has
the capacity to do immeasurable harm,
unless it is stopped in time.
This time Zombie is up against some of
the meanest and scary mob bullies at
school. Will he be able to stop the mob
bullies from terrorizing him and his
friends, and make it back in one piece?
Joke of the week
When Halt and Crowley discover that
the ambitious Morgarath has been infil-
trating the Rangers in order to corrupt
the Corps, the young Rangers travel
north to find Prince Duncan, seeking a
royal warrant to stop Morgarath before
it is too late. By weakening the Rangers,
the most powerful force in support of
the King, Morgarath plans to steal the
