Welcome to week 3.

Last week we held our annual Cross Country event and we certainly had a beautiful day for it.

Congratulations to all students who participated and a big thank you to the parents who helped

out on the day.

This week we have the NAPLAN testing for Years 3 and 5 being conducted at school. Please

talk to your child about the tests and stress to them that it is nothing to worry about and they

just need to give it their best. NAPLAN is a very small part of the assessment process for your

child. It gives a “snapshot” of what they can do on a set day. Our teachers are consistently

testing and assessing the children in their class and have a very thorough picture of your

child’s learning levels. It will help your child if they have a good breakfast, an early night so

they get plenty of sleep and they are on time for school- this is good advice for every day not

just NAPLAN days!

Enjoy your week.

Lyn Barnes

Principal.

During Week 2, six WWPS students; Olivia Hopper, Claudia Hopper, Rory Burge, Annalise Bischoff, Thomas Jordan-Downes and

Brent Russell went to the Riverina Combined Schools Music Camp at Borambola Sport and Recreation Centre near Wagga. There

were 55 students from 14 different schools and 14 staff/music tutors at the camp.

For five days we practiced and rehearsed a variety of different music. We did six hours of practicing each day, we had specialist

tutors that helped us a learn new music and improved our playing skills and techniques. We also got to do some sport activities as

well. We did archery, fencing, low rope course and rock climbing.

The last 2 days of the camp were concert performances at Lake Albert PS, South Wagga PS, Tumut PS and Junee HS. The band also

did a community performance in Wagga one night.

This was a great experience for all WWPS students, making new friends, learning new skills on their instruments and performing to

large audiences. All students had fun and learnt lots.
