The staff and students of Coolah Central School would like to welcome everyone to our

Education Week Celebrations Thursday 8th August 2019

Education Week 2019


This week is Education Week. I spoke at the K-6 Assembly last week about why education is important. Education provides opportunity and choice. The better a student achieves at school the more choices they will have when they finish. Coolah Central School will be celebrating Education Week

on Thursday with open classrooms in K-12 from 10am, a morning tea at 10.45am for parents and staff, followed by the Education Week Assembly starting at 11.30am. All parents and friends of the school are invited to attend. Shortly you may notice some work going on in front of the office on the right hand side of the path as you walk into the school. The school, with the support of the Aboriginal Education Team, are creating a yarning

circle. This will be a place where students will be able to come together to meet and celebrate Aboriginal culture. The design features a fire pit, constructed by senior students Jacob and Thomas, surrounded by bench seating. Later it is hoped to include screening from the road and a bush tucker garden. The Aboriginal Education Team meets regularly at the school and community members who wish to be part of this team are welcome. Please contact me at the school to express your interest. As always I can be contacted at the school should you have any concerns.

Week 3 and it’s all systems go. We have an incredibly busy week and lots of opportunities for parents and carers to come into the school and take an active role in their student’s learning experiences. Tuesday we have the P

and C meeting on in the library at 3.15 in the school’s common room, we would love to have as many parents and carers along as we can get, I can assure you that you will be most welcome. On Tuesday we also have the Year 10 into 11 Subject Selection night. This starts at 6pm and will be held in the school library. The Love Bites and Rage programs will also run their second sessions on this day. Thursday we celebrate Education Week at Coolah Central School and information on this is available

throughout this newsletter. Friday is our Farm Safety Day, a very important day highlighting to students how to behave safely on the farm. Mr Hughes is out at Cobar on Thursday and Friday attending the Western area Principal’s conference. I look forward to seeing as many parents as possible in the school this week. Have a great one.

Moran Photography Workshop Comes to Coolah Central On Tuesday 30

th of July, we were privileged to have professional photographer Louise Whelan come and

conduct a Photography Workshop on behalf of the Moran Arts Foundation. Each year the Moran Foundation choose schools across Australia to deliver a free workshop for 30 students. Year 5-6 students were the lucky recipients and they learnt about photographic techniques such as composition, background, framing the photo and design elements of photography. Students had a lovely time taking photos around the school and each student went home with 5 printed photographs. Students work will now be entered into the next Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize where they have a chance of winning a digital camera if selected as a finalist.



Farm Safety Day (K-12) This Friday the 9th of August, 2019, students from Kindergarten to Year 12 will be participating in our Farm Safety Day at school. As this is a school activity all students are expected to attend school. The aim of this day is to highlight the many potential dangers associated with farms and to develop the students awareness of these dangers and their understanding of how to stay safe when around these potentially dangerous hazards. A free BBQ lunch will be provided. All students will need to provide their own recess and the canteen will be open only for snacks. Lunch orders will not be available. If your child does not eat sausage sandwiches, please send a packed lunch. Students can wear either farm clothes or suitable out of uniform clothing (eg: jeans, jumper, shirt boots or sneakers) and they must all wear a hat. The day will commence at 8:50am with roll marking and it will continue all day. We have 14 different activities planned throughout the day which will focus on the hazards found on farms for our students from Kindergarten to Year 12. These activities include the following :-
