SECONDARY NEWS
Welcome to the start of another fabulous week at
Tullamore Central School. This week is going to be
a busy one with many events and learning activities.
PBL Term 4
This term we will be focusing on organisation and
study skills. Students at our first lesson on Monday
Week one, set the collective goal of getting notes in
no later than 48 hours after issue and to improve our
knowledge of when things are on. 20% of students
managed to achieve this. Next week we are aiming
for 100% of notes in ready for the number of events
that are coming up over the next 3 weeks. For PBL
next week students will be working on a study
timetable to prepare for upcoming assessments and
exams.
Central West Beef Week
This year our cattle show team have been invited to
participate in the Youth Workshop as part of
Central West Beef Week. This is an invite only
event, held at the National Field Days at Borenore,
with only six schools participating from across the
central west. Students will be continuing to hone
their skills in show preparation with some of the
best in the industry on the day. A full report will be
in next week’s newsletter.
Have a wonderful week.

MATHEMATICS AT
TULLAMORE CENTRAL SCHOOL
Stage 4 have finished off a topic on indices and
have started a topic on measurement.
Stage 5 have completed a topic on financial
mathematics, there was an assessment task attached
to this topic and the results from this hard-working
group was very pleasing.
The Year 11 boys have completed their examination
to complete their preliminary year and have
commenced their HSC work.
Year 12 have completed their trial examinations last
term and I am sure they are all studying hard for
their HSC examination. Good luck Year 12!

Secondary Mathematics Teacher
YEARS 5 – 8 STEM
Students in Years 5 – 8 STEM have commenced
their projects last week. Some students forgot to
bring in their materials that they need for their
projects. If they could please ensure that they have
them for Wednesday this week. We have the next
four weeks to complete the projects so if students
can organise their materials for testing / building
and ingredients for those testing food items it would
be much appreciated.

STAGE 4 ZOO EXCURSION
Last Tuesday, students travelled to Taronga
Western Plains Zoo to complete the field work
component of their assessment task on
Classification. Students have been learning about
the taxonomic naming system used by scientists and
how this is used in the process of classification.
Miss Shankelton
Stage 4 Science Teacher
Students completed a workshop at the Zoo
education centre, which they were able to see and
touch animals and examine their adaptations in
more detail. Students showed an excellent level of
knowledge and were very well behaved and were
great ambassadors for Tullamore Central School.
Following the workshop, students examined five
enclosures and for their assessment, they need to
discuss how the enclosures are designed to meet the
needs of the animal in terms of their adaptions
(physical, behavioural and physiological). Students
examined the Meerkats, African Wild Dogs,
Giraffe, Hippos and Lemur enclosures. I look
forward to seeing the awesome presentations that
will be produced at the end of the task. Thank you
to Mrs Edwards for her assistance on the day.

AGRICULTURE IN ACTION
Cattle Show Team
Thank you to those students that expressed interest
in the Junior Show team program for 2020 and the
secondary squad. Permission notes will be issued
later this week detailing the dates of practice
sessions and student requirements for this.
Chicken Club
Students in K – 4 who are interested in helping run
our layer chicken program this term are to see Miss
Shankelton by the end of the week. This will be
done during two lunch times a week. Students will
be feeding the chickens, cleaning the pen, refreshing
the laying boxes and collecting eggs for packing
and sale during this time.
Wanted – cans and bottles
As part of our fundraising for the Agriculture
program, we will be collecting the 10c return cans
and bottles. No need to sort them as we will do
this!! Cans and bottles can be dropped in to the Ag
plot area where there are two bins labelled Cans and
Plastic Bottles and Glass Bottles. Thank you to
those people who have donated cans and bottles
already.
Also for the Jimmy Barnes weekend we are looking
for 1000L pods to collect cans for the Ag program
and for the P&C. If you have some clean pods
sitting around on your farms the P&C and the Ag
program will gladly take them off your hands.
Produce available for sale
Please contact the school office to order by
Wednesday for picking and packing on
Thursdays
Eggs - $4.00 Dozen

SPORT
Please refer to Term at a Glance for upcoming
sporting events.
Primary League
NRL will be hosting a league 6s day in Parkes for
students from small schools. The day is aimed at
developing skills and then applying these in
modified games. Students do not need prior
experience to play; the day is aimed at development
and encourages players of all abilities to further
their skills and understanding. The Tully bus will be
unavailable this day so it would be great if parents
could arrange for students to car pool, as there will
only be limited seats available.
District Tennis
Congratulations to Riley, Beau, Jack, Dylan,
Sabrina, Siara, Imogen and Hannah who have been
selected to participate in the district tennis gala day
in Tottenham. Students are reminded to hand their
permission notes into the office. Students may use
their own tennis racquet on the day or arrange to use
a school one.
Super 8s Cricket
This year we will once again be participating in the
Super 8s Cricket. All secondary students are invited
to attend. Once notes are returned, we will confirm
which teams we will be sending.
Girls League Tag
Please hand notes and money back to the office as
soon as possible so we can finalise numbers and
confirm our attendance at this event.
It has been pleasing to see many students borrowing
and reading the new books we have recently
received this term. We have just ordered more from
the latest book club catalogue, which will arrive in
the next few weeks.
It has been very busy in the library at lunchtimes,
with many of the students coming up to play games,
computers and cards and escape the weather.
TERM 4 2019 – WEEK 2

Reminders

protect the books from being

library bag, we have plenty
of spares that we are happy
for the students to have.

Thursdays.
Have a great week!
