Wingara Mura Summer Program
Congratulations to three Coleambally Central School
students, who have been successful in their applications to
attend the 3 day Wingara Mura Summer Program to be held
at the University of Sydney during January, 2015.
Jai Coe, Mark Faber and Monique Dinsdale will stay on-
campus, access the world-class facilities of Australia's oldest
university, and have the chance to speak directly with leading
academics and industry figures.
The Summer Program is not just about books and studying
hard; it's fun, too. They'll experience the opportunities that
come with studying in the largest city in Australia and with
young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people attending
from all over the country, the friendships that they make will
last a lifetime. We wish them well.
World Teachers Day Last week our school P&C acknowledged our teaching staff
with an afternoon tea for World Teachers Day, which was
well received and much appreciated at our staff meeting.
Thanks to the P & C for their “thanks”.
Exams and Formals
Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students will sit their yearly exams next
week. I would encourage all students to be preparing for
these exams. Exam timetables have been distributed to
students and are also now available on the school website.
For our Year 12 students the exams conclude with the final
HSC exam being held on Tuesday 4th
November. On
Thursday 13th
November the school will formally farewell the
class of 2014 in a function to be held at the Coleambally
Community Club.
Beginning of New Academic Year
A reminder that for our current secondary students, Monday
10th
November, will mark the beginning of a new academic
year. Be prepared.
Primary Swimming Notes will be distributed to all primary students with regard
to our Term 4 swimming program in the very near future.
This program will run from Thursday 27th
November to
Friday 5th
December.
Enjoy the week

Janine Foster
Assistant Principal
Year 5/6
Here we are in week 4 and the term is whizzing by at a
furious pace. Only 21 more days until year 5-6 head off down
the highway to Ballarat. The class is abuzz discussing the
itinerary, sleeping arrangements and most importantly. “Will
we be able to use the pool Mr Watts?”
We have been trying to „get a feel‟ for the living conditions
way back in 1854 and I‟m sure when our students are
standing on the actual ground, the whole process will become
a lot more meaningful.
The Goldfields Diaries are starting to look very impressive
and it is encouraging to see so many students thinking of
ways to add authenticity to the „look and feel „of their
booklets.
If you need to contact me regarding any concerns or
provisions for your child please don‟t hesitate to call me at
the school. The best times for a guaranteed contact are
Monday afternoons between 12.00pm and 4.00pm or Friday
mornings between 8.30am and 11.00am. Alternatively, you
can leave a message at the front office and I can make contact
with you.
And finally, a big thanks to Chris White and Julie Bellato
who will be accompanying as on our journey.
In all, it should be an exciting, educational and memorable
experience.

Stage 3 Poems
What if the whales never called again?
I might never jump into the deep blue sea
What if the seagulls flew into the horizon?
I could fly away too.
What if the sand washed away?
I would wash away with it.
Would you jump before me?
Shakyra Stevenson
What if I was a pen?
I might run out of ink
What if I get thrown in the bin?
I could be a little loner with some ink left in me.
What if someone found me?
I would still work because I‟d have an owner.
Will I be happy again?
Maddie Rainbird
What if I was taken?
I might never make it out
What if no one noticed?
I could always hope.
What if I could escape?
I would try till I can‟t see them.
How long would it take to find me?

Maths
In PDHPE year 3 have been extremely busy. In PD we have been learning about smoking, the
dangers of smoking and the effect smoking has on peoples bodies. In PE we joined with year 4. Group One played
tee ball with Miss Flack and group two played volleyball with
Mr Dean.
In literacy we started reading the BFG (Big Friendly Giant)! We
practiced writing narratives. Our class narrative was about a dog that dived into a volcano to get a potion
that would destroy all the cats on earth.
Year 3 did Chinese dragon drawing in art. We watched a video about drawing Chinese dragons. As we watched the video Miss Flack would pause
the video so we could draw our dragons with pencils.
We also made origami cranes and hearts. Miss Flack read the story
‘The Peace Crane’. Origami cranes originated in China.
Year 3 have been exploring fractions in maths. We learnt how to add two
fractions together. We also investigat-ed millilitres and litres in maths. We estimated how many millilitres and litres were in buckets, bottles and
different sized containers.

Science
In science we made water bottle rockets with Mr Dean. We half filled an empty soft drink bottle
with water and pumped air into it using a bike pump. When the pres-sure built up inside the hose on the bottom of the bottle it shot off and the rocket flew up into the sky. The
rockets went really high!
