Term 1—We survived you!
Despite the unpredictable circumstances we are
currently facing thus far, we have come a long
way. We have had to adapt to life as we could
have never imagined, working, educating, living
and just doing what we thought were some
simple day to day activities. With Easter now
here lets make sure we all take time to enjoy
our family over the holidays. Spend time
together wether it be outdoors, doing some
craft, playing games, or the Easter Egg hunt (no
one is ever too old for an egg hunt)!.
The department’s latest advice is that for the
first weeks, if not all Term 2, learning will be
from home. Work packages for next Term are
now either collected or are in the mail.
Packages for years 7 to 10 don’t need to be
opened until first day of Term 2 (no one wants
to do school work in the holidays). Term 2,
Tuesday April 28 the team at Warialda High
School are back on deck and ready to help
you… until then….
#stayhome #staysafe #werrallinthistogether
Happy Easter from all of us.

A COVID TIP FROM A TEACHER ABOUT HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED...
Plan to do the work that you don't like or challenges you for a short period of time eg. 20 minutes then plan a
reward that you love doing immediately afterwards eg. Completing that history writing task you have been
putting off, then playing Fortnight for 30 minutes once it's finished.
Mrs Shelly Way - Principal
Break down your work into smaller pieces. Give yourself a certain number of pieces to do each day.
Miss Kathryn Latham—English Teacher
Start the day with some exercise - it gets the brain moving! Mrs Jane Garland—Learning & Support
Write out your to-do list and work it off by doing the least liked things first. That way, your day just keeps on
getting better!....PS. Don't put in wind your clock forward by an hour (or two).
Mrs Kate La Fontaine—Head Teacher Administration
Year 10 Challenge!
Year 10 are welcome to enter a competition being run by their
Year Advisor, Miss Stephens. Whilst working on each of their
subjects at home, they are challenged to create an imaginative
portrait or selfie that reflects the subject they are working on.
For example, completing your history work with a Cleopatra
headdress, or your science work with hair like Einstein. She is
offering stupendous prizes, with one for each subject, so get
creative! You can submit photos for more than one subject
simply by e-mailing them to Miss Stephens. But most
importantly... don't forget to be wearing your Year 10 shirt!

Working from home pictures

attending to their learning at home so we could share.
We have received many pictures and hope you keep sending
them in.
