Principal’s Report

SASS Appreciation Week

This week we say a big thank you to our school

administrative & support staff (SASS). We are extremely

fortunate to have a terrific team who support our

teachers, parents and students. In our office we have

Mrs Julie Smith, Mrs Sharon Manning, & Miss Carrie

Turnbull; our school learning and support officers – Mrs

Cherie Smith, Mrs Belinda Maxwell, Mrs Lizzie Lemmich

& Miss Carrie Turnbull; and our general assistant Mr

Wayne Manning. On behalf of our teachers, parents and

students – thank you!

NAPLAN Results

The school have received NAPLAN results, with parents

to receive student results later this term. NAPLAN

assesses aspects of literacy including grammar &

punctuation, reading, spelling and writing, as well as

numeracy. NAPLAN tests are designed to provide you,

your child and their teachers with information about

how your child’s learning is progressing, and if they

need support to improve their literacy and numeracy

skills. NAPLAN results provide information to teachers

and parents on what students know and can do.

However, as NAPLAN provides a snapshot of a

student’s assessment at that point in time, results need

to be interpreted with care and should be considered

together with school based assessments. Your child’s

teacher will have the best insight into your child’s

educational progress. Please make an appointment

with your child’s teacher if you wish to discuss these

results further.

Stage 2 Swimming Program

Next term we will once again be conducting our Stage

2 swimming program. To ensure as little class

disruption as possible, we will be running sessions

each Monday – Friday for the first 2 weeks of Term 4.

The sessions will be held in the afternoons. Our school

heavily subsidises these sessions with only a cost to

our families to cover pool entry. Notes will be sent

home next week.

Trent Barrett Success

Well done to both our boys and girls teams who

competed at this week’s Trent Barrett Shield. Thank you

to Mrs Davis, Mrs New, Mrs Butt & Mr Field for

preparing our teams and to the big contingent of parent

helpers/ cheerers!

SRC - Father’s Day Stall

A big thankyou to our wonderful SRC and Mrs White

for organising and running the Father’s Day Stall for

this year. The SRC will use these funds to purchase

equipment for the school, based on what the students

feel we need in the school. Earlier this year funds

previously raised by the SRC went towards purchasing

a 3D printer for students to use. We are currently in the

process of redesigning and purchasing furniture to

outfit a learning space within the Library.

We also want to extend our appreciation to our

parents who assist with transporting our students to

students in sporting teams.

Thank you Kennedy & family for donating a much

needed hose so that we can water our vegetables.

Thank you to the Butt family for their kind donation of

a set of sporting singlets for our students to wear

proudly at sporting events. A big thank you to our

very generous donation of two sets of brand new

sporting attire, including shirts, shorts & socks.

Thank you to our models – Destini & Caitlyn

SRC Report

Our SRC held its annual Father’s Day stall last week from

Wednesday 28th to Friday 30th of August. This year, as

well as having a range of gifts to choose from, students

were also able to purchase tickets in our Father’s Day

raffle. Congratulations to Kennedy and his dad on

winning the selection of Dad prizes. A huge thank you

to all the families who supported our fundraiser this

year. Because of your generosity, the SRC raised over

$1200 for the school. Many thanks to both infants and

primary SRC members for their enthusiastic assistance

during this time. – Mrs White & SRC

Tournament of Minds

Last Saturday 7 students from Junee North participated

in the regional Tournament of Minds competition.

TOM is an International program designed to

encourage students to develop their co-operative

problem solving skills and celebrate their creative and

critical thinking. There are 4 disciplines with Junee

North choosing the Arts. There challenge was to

rewrite “The Wizard of Oz” as if set in Australia. They

had to choose where there “yellow brick road” would

lead, overcome challenges and create overarching

concepts.

Aimee, Riley, Ashton, Ruby, Tristan, Jack and Caitlyn

had to make all their own props and costumes from a

limited resource list and design and perform an

original script including an original song and several

dances. Following their performance, the team then

had to compete in a five minute spontaneous

challenge.

After working on the challenge for the past 6 weeks,

the performance was perfect!

Although Thurgoona Public won the primary Arts

division, the team from Junee North should be very

proud of their achievements.
