Principal’s Message
School Improvement Sincere thanks to our P&C for their very productive conversations at last week’s meeting about how everyone in the
school community can contribute to our continual improvement. As it is well and truly ‘evaluation, reporting and
forward planning season’, I was able to provide an update on some of our key achievements in 2012 and targets for
2013.
Students’ growth in their learning across the school has once again been very strong throughout 2012. Targets for the
coming year will continue to focus on Literacy and Numeracy skills, utilising specific strategies and supporting
teachers in further professional development, leading to best practice. Other whole school targets include
improvements in: Student Engagement and Retention; Student Transition; Community Engagement; and
Environmental Sustainability.
Secondary Scripture It has been some years since scripture lessons have been an option for secondary students at Bowraville Central
School. We would like to provide this learning opportunity upon request. In order for qualified staff to be engaged and
so that timetabled lessons may be allocated, we ask any parents of secondary students in 2013 who wish for their son
or daughter to take part in Scripture lessons to indicate this by a simple phone call to the front office before the end of
this month.
Have a great week.

about courses at Newcastle University. Jess spoke to
our Year 12 and Year 10 students about what it’s like
to leave the country to study at Newcastle. Her
powerpoint was very informative and we really
enjoyed her presentation. Thanks Jess!

BCS Students compete at the Macksville Gift
Last weekend students from our school achieved some
excellent results at the Macksville gift. Anthony
Walker won the 70m amateur sprint and Sam Kete ran
in both the gift and the novice 120m sprint. This was
the first time Sam had raced professionally and he
surprised many people by working his way through to
the final. He came third in the novice final in a very
close race which was an outstanding achievement.
Bowraville Central School was mentioned several
times throughout the day when the boys were
introduced in their races.
In the Little Athletics Carnival which ran in conjunction
with the gift, Nesta Walker won the 300m pack start
race. Anthony Walker came second in the 15 and over
sprint. Simon, Joven and India Walker also did well in
their races.
World Champion
Our Physical Education teacher, Joel Mason recently
travelled to Cabo in Mexico to compete at the
Hennessey World Paddle Association World
Championships.
The 181/2 km. down-wind race was held in ideal
conditions, paddling his 18ft paddle-board lying
down.
Mr. Mason left his stamp on the event with a 1st
place overall finishing in the Men’s unlimited Paddle
Board section. He held on to his 1st place position for
the entire race to take a well deserved overall
victory.
Mr. Mason said he’d like to thank BCS for their
support this year and he hopes that his success on
the world stage helps to inspire students to follow
their dreams.
Mrs. Perkins
Physical Culture
Emma, Sara and Megan Johnstone recently
competed in the North Coast Zone Championships at
Coffs Harbour. All three competed in the same team
for the 15/16 Year Teams competition, with Sara and
Megan learning extension work to make up the
Urunga team. This was the first time they’d been in
the same team. Their team placed 3rd on the day,
which was a great effort (six teams competed).
In the 13/14 Year individual competition, Sara and
Megan performed well, with the group of girls having
to repeat their work before the judges could decide
on the State finalists. Unfortunately Sara and Megan
missed out on a place, on the day.
In the 15/16 Year individual competition Emma was
selected to compete in the State Finals in Sydney.
This was a wonderful achievement as she has been a
State Finalist every year since she started Physi (10
years ago). Next year she is looking forward to
competing as a senior. At the State Finals last
weekend Emma performed well but wasn’t selected
for the Grand Finals. In this age group 36 girls
competed, divided into three heats. Only 12 girls
were selected for the Grand Finals.
If anyone is interested in finding out about Physical
Culture in our area, please talk to Emma, Sara or
Megan. The Physi year usually starts in mid-February
each year.
