A message from our Principal Book Week
Book Week is being celebrated across the school and students are sharing their love
for books and reading. The much anticipated Book Character Parade will take place
next Wednesday 29 August at 12:30pm and students are encouraged to come dressed
as their favourite book character. Members of the school community are welcome to
come along and watch the parade and younger siblings are encouraged to dress up as
well. The parade will be followed by a sausage sizzle. We look forward to seeing you
there.
Sporting Achievements
There have been numerous sporting achievement this week. On Tuesday Stage 2
students attended the annual Trent Barrett Shield Rugby League and League Tag Gala
Day at Parramore Park. It was a very successful day for South Wagga PS students with
both the girls and boys teams experiencing some great wins and making it through to
the Riverina final to be held on Tuesday 4 September. On Wednesday students
travelled to Goulburn to participate in the Classic Shield quarter finals of the State
Rugby League knockout. We certainly have very talented sports people in our school.
Thank you to our dedicated teachers who have supported these events.
Tournament of Minds (TOM)
TOM offers teams of students the opportunity to solve authentic, open ended
challenges that foster creative, divergent thinking whilst developing collaborative
enterprise, excellence and teamwork. Good luck to the 16 students from South Wagga
PS who will be participating in TOM at Sturt PS over the weekend. The challenges will
cover the following disciplines—The Arts, Language Literature, Social Sciences and
STEM. We look forward to hearing from the 2 South Wagga teams next week.

Learning @ SWPS:
Open Mindedness
Next week we will be focusing on
developing our skills in having an
open mind.
Open mindedness involves being
open to new ideas, experiences and
learning opportunities.
Student language may include:
Yeah, I could try that.
Why not? Let’s give it a go.
Wow, I haven’t heard that
before!
Why not try something
different?
You know what? You were
right!
Through having an open mind SWPS
aims to help students to be open to
new learning opportunities.
The Principal’s Award for next
week is for students
demonstrating:

Why is mindfulness important?
Mindfulness is important because you can’t separate wellbeing and learning. One supports the other. Wellbeing affects how children think, learn and engage. Mindfulness can help with wellbeing, which in turn, improves student attention and learning outcomes. 1 Magpies enjoy weekly mindfulness sessions where they are improving self-awareness, emotional management, attention and concentration, relationship skills and decision making. Miss Symons

Wanted! We are asking each student to bring in a glass jar for a project for our school fete. We don’t require the jars until Term 4, but want to get in early with the request to ensure each child has time to find a jar. Please send empty jars in to school any time this term and classroom teachers will store them with your child’s name on them. Example jars would be a Moccona coffee jar, Vegemite jar or Jam jar. All shapes and sizes will be great but please make sure the jar is clean! Thank you, Miss Annetts
Classic Shield Quarter Final - Goulburn 22 August
Well done to the all the boys on making it through to
the quarter finals of the state Rugby League
knockout, unfortunately we were beaten 10-4.
It has been a pleasure to coach such great kids who
always give their best whilst displaying excellent
sportsmanship. Thanks to Mortimer apparel for the
new jumpers. Bring on next year!
Thanks Helen Cooper
Trent Barrett Shield 21 August
The Stage 2 Rugby League team went to Paramore Park to compete in
the Wagga leg of the Trent Barrett Shield. We had plenty of supporters
there to cheer us on despite being such a cold and windy day. The boys
played some red hot football winning all 3 of our pool games by a total
margin of 132 points to 0. Great runs,
hard tackles and teamwork saw us
take out our final 32 – 4 and progress
through to the Riverina final on
the 4 September.

A notice about the Clothing Pool.
This is my last year with the clothing pool. I am looking for a person or persons to take it over. It entails the sorting, washing, ironing and hanging it in the designated positions. Leanne does all repairs. I open the pool at the moment on a Wednesday morning between 8.30am and 9.30am. It is also open for sales at the Fete. This is something that can basically be carried out at home. The clothing pool is a very important part of the school and your interest in this position is paramount. Please phone Jenny McNamara 0417736514.

Marketplace Education Week Chess Competition
The Chess Team participated in the Education Week Chess Tournament on 9 August 2018, in the second pool against Lake Albert
PS, Ladysmith PS and Wagga Wagga PS. Sixteen students participated in the four SWPS Teams A, B, C and D. The games were 10
minutes each with the student’s playing on individual boards and also on the large board as a team. The large board was fascinating
to watch as you heard the communication between the players as they adjusted to playing this usually individual game as a team.
All of the teams played very well, with SWPS Team B just knocking out SWPS Teams A and C to be the winners of our pool and
eligible to play North Wagga PS to determine the winners of the Marketplace Education Week Chess Competition. Games for the
final were played in front of the Education Week stage, with the games now having no time limit. Team B consisting of Ryan
Whalan, Ryan Tapfield, Xander Sutherland and Blaine Middleton played some great chess with Xander winning his game but the
others going down to an older more experienced North Wagga PS. Mrs Crevatin, Chess Coordinator
Principals Concert, The Riverina Anglican College
On the 16 August 2018, 45 students attended the Principal’s Concert at TRAC where they watched the TRAC Orchestra and Band
perform. The students joined into the performance with percussion instruments and body percussion under the guidance of the
conductor (and SWPS parent) Clare Brassil. The students then sat amongst the musicians while they were playing and the
musicians were kind enough to let all of the students have a go at their instruments.
The students were very excited to see their siblings and ex-students performing for them. If you have a budding musician at home
who would love the opportunity to play with their friends in the school band, then SWPS Band would love to see you! Please
contact Mr Harris or Mrs Crevatin for more information. The band practises in the school gym at 7.45am every Wednesday.
