The School Day – students arriving before 8:25am
Teachers are required to be on duty at their schools half an hour before school work begins in the morning and
may be required to be present, if thought necessary by the teacher in charge of the school, for half an hour after
the dismissal of school in the afternoon. Where special circumstances arise which, in the interests of the school,
necessitate attendance beyond these hours, the attendance of the staff may be required.
Our school day commences at 8:55am and as a result we can only ask staff to be on duty from 8:25am. We have
been finding more and more students arriving at school before this time. This causes a problem as students are
unsupervised. I assume that parents would believe that their child was supervised once they walked through the
gates in the morning. As a result of moving the gate at the front of the school we will now be able to tighten
security in the mornings meaning that the gates will not be unlocked until 8:25am. I ask that you help the school
by not sending your child before this time as they will need to sit outside the gates until they are open.
If you are unable to make arrangements for your child to be supervised before this time please contact the school.
Gaming Disorder
Last year the World Health Organisation officially classified Gaming Disorder as an illness. Health concerns
associated with gaming behaviour are not limited to gaming disorder, but also include other aspects of health
(e.g. insufficient physical activity, unhealthy diet, problems with eyesight or hearing, musculoskeletal problems,
sleep deprivation, aggressive behaviour and depression) and psychosocial functioning.
Studies suggest that people who partake in gaming should be alert to the amount of time they spend on gaming
activities, particularly when it is to the exclusion of other daily activities, as well as to any changes in their physical
or psychological health and social functioning that could be attributed to their pattern of gaming behaviour.
Parent Mee ng
On Monday 3 June the school will host a mee ng for parents interested in taking a more ac ve role in their
child’s educa on. We want to hear from you and we want you to be involved. We are par cularly interested in
ge ng parents and the community involved in NAIDOC week ac vi es in Week 10 of this term. We are also
commencing the pilot of a new community engagement partnership at the school between Police, Health, FACS
and community groups offering a range of cultural, educa onal and physical opportuni es for students
disengaged with schooling. If this mee ng goes well we will make it a regular event.
You don’t need to RSVP, just sign in at the front office and come to the staffroom. Hope to see you there.
Best Regards,
Dave Taylor

Year 5/6 Fresh Food Discovery Excursion
Last week the class went to the Nambucca Woolworths and the V‐Wall.
The first thing was we marked the roll and one by one got onto the bus. Mr Rushton was driving and I was
worried for our safety. (That was a joke).
A er that we arrived at Woolworths. The class got out and was met with the two managers, Adam and
Nicole. They took us behind the door that only the staff go to and went upstairs to the mee ng room. We
asked ques ons and got answers but then a er a while we split up into two. I was in Adam’s group.
We followed Adam un l he stopped at this small table filled with carrots and pears. He gave us some sheets
of paper for a challenge in groups of two or three. I was in a group with Finn and Levi Fuller. A er the
challenge we went over the loading zone, then the fridges and freezers. I had my jumper on so when we
went inside the freezing areas I wasn’t so cold.
We hopped out of the fridge and waddled over to the sea food. Adam took a prawn and a squid that looked
like nothing I’ve ever seen in existence.
A er the whole tour Adam took us back upstairs to the mee ng room. The other group came in and we got
trays of fruit. Lots of fruit. The funny thing was Johnnie and I fought over the kiwi fruit.
We said our goodbyes to Adam and Nicole then hopped onto the bus. Mr Rushton found a spot to sit down
and have our lunch.
That is what happened in my perspec ve. I enjoyed the excursion.

Year 9/10 Science & Engineering Challenge
Teamwork was the order of the day on Wednesday 22nd May, when students from Years 9 & 10 travelled to
Kempsey for the annual Science and Engineering Challenge. Moon rover vehicles, bridges and furniture building
were just a few of the ac vi es that students par cipated in over the course of the day. Everyone took
Responsibility for their challenges and demonstrated great Resilience by carrying on even though some of the
ac vi es were incredibly difficult. Students modelled Respect perfectly by graciously shaking hands and
congratula ng other compe tors and although they finished towards the bo om of the field overall, they s ll
won many of the individual challenges. Congratula ons to all involved, and thank you all for a great day!

It was wonderful to see our students enjoying themselves at the social last Thursday night. Thanks to SLSO, Sharon
Atkins (DJ Shaz) for dona ng her me, equipment and skills that not only got the students dancing but had many
staff members up showing off their boot scoo ng style. Our great SRC and staff worked together to provide tasty
milkshakes and sausage sandwiches and fun ac vi es. Lots of photos on our website.
I met last week with local organisa ons from Bowraville to talk about a start up grant on offer from the
Founda on for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR). The Nambucca is one of 5 towns iden fied in NSW that can
apply. A group called ’Together Nambucca Valley’ has been formed and will submit the applica on. The exci ng
thing about this is that if we’re successful with this applica on and can show we are a cohesive community
working together we may then be eligible to apply for a subsequent reasonably large amount. Wish us luck!
I am working on an event to celebrate Women’s Health next term. S ll in the early organisa on stages however I
am planning to offer our mums and carers a day of healthy learning and ac vi es. Healthy mums, healthy kids!
Numbers will be limited for the event so keep a look out in the upcoming weeks for more informa on.
See you at the Athle cs Carnival on Friday.

Memories of Bowraville Central School:
My memories of BCS have definitely shaped who I am. I o en tell people that there was no be er childhood like the
one I had living and going to school at Bowraville. People are shocked when I tell them I s ll keep in touch with my
teachers but the teachers always created such a sense of community and I always felt respected and valued. We had
so much fun through those school years like the me we spent at the Ag Farm, our sports carnival and how much fun
it was to ‘cheer off’ between houses (Go Maple!), our regular socials and all our cool excursions. However my all me
favourite memory had to be the carnival we had at the end of school and the Year 10 boys would make a Ghost
House down in the sport store area. They used baked beans as eyes and spaghe as intes nes!
Interests:
Horse riding, travelling, gardening and cooking
Other comments:
I don’t think I would have become the person I am today without having the community of Bowraville Central School
throughout my childhood. I have taken so much away with me from my years there. The memories and friendships I
gained will never be forgo en or go unappreciated.
