On Wednesday Stage 6 SLR students travelled to

Collarenebri with Mr Klemmer and Miss Prince to

undertake their First Aid Practical and Theory

Assessment for their Sports Medicine unit. Our

students, along with students from Collarenebri

to exhibit CPR and Recovery position as part of their

assessment under the watchful eye of the assessor

Mr Banks from Goodooga Central School. All

students have successfully passed both assessments

and will continue to work on Athletics unit in

STAGE 4 STUDENT LAPTOP PROGRAM

Stage 4 students will have access to new Chromebooks (a type of laptop) for their school studies.

Students and their families will need to sign an agreement with the school before a Chromebook will

be assigned. A payment of $50 is required annually to lease each laptop. This payment will be used

by the school for ongoing maintenance of the device.

After 4 years of consecutive lease payments, the student will acquire ownership of the laptop.

Mungindi Central School will release all responsibility of the laptop. It will then become the

responsibility of the student to organise and pay for any repairs needed.

PRESCHOOL CAPERS

Preschool has been very busy the last few weeks. We had a very enjoyable Mother’s Day High Tea

celebration. Thanks to Garry Prince and Rebecca Craigie for cooking up a Johnny Cake storm and

thank also to Danielle Altmann for supplying pampering items for the children to exfoliate their mum’s

hands and paint their nails. The children sang a Mother’s Day song and gave them their present.

Yesterday the children enjoyed going to the Town Library to be part of Storytime with other children

from the community. The book of the day was ‘Alpacas with Maracas’ and they danced to the

maraca song. All the children loved the alpacas and the big woolly sheep. The children also made

maracas as part of the art activity.

Next week

CentreCare :- Each Wednesday we are learning from the CentreCare staff. On Wednesday 29 May

10:30 am – 11:00 am we will continue to support our social skills program.

P - 2 Support Officer Visit:- Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 May 2019 to support the preschool

compliance schedule.

LUNCH PASSES

An important reminder regarding students who use a lunch pass. It is a privilege, and as part of the

agreement to utilise these passes ALL students must return to school no later than 12:05 pm in readiness

for their next class. Students who continually fail to meet this requirement will no longer be able to

leave school premises for lunch. Alternative arrangements will need to be made for accessing their

lunch ie. bring their lunch to school in the morning or get it delivered by a parent to the Administration

Office before 11:30 am.
