Last Tuesday we had three teams participating in the Super 8’s Cricket state finals

at Dubbo. It was a very successful day with both the Under 14’s Girls and Boys

winning the day thus being crowned STATE Champions. Whilst the OPENs Boys

team finished runner up.

Term 4 Week 10

Principal’s

Message

This year we have had an amazing year in sport.

Trundle Central School is State Central School

Champions in four sports. Lawn Bowls, girls and

boys 14yrs Cricket and 40 Overs Cricket. This is a

significant achievement considering it involves 60

schools most of which are significantly larger in

terms of numbers than us. Indeed, we were only

two runs away from a fifth state championship in

opens cricket. The school also currently holds the

Gondonery Cup and Shield. This is an outstanding

effort from all involved.

Talent alone cannot win these championships.

Quality coaching, positive player attitude and a

school culture/image that encourages students to

achieve are essential for success. Every coach

knows a significant percentage of sporting success

is mental rather than physical. In short if you think

you are going to be beaten you can be sure you

will be, and if you look like a looser you probably

are. However, when our players arrive at a venue

on a clean modern bus, in uniform and exhibiting a quiet but confident attitude they look like winners.

Opposition teams notice and it is worth points on

the field. I would like to acknowledge the

sportsmanship of all our players and the quality

coaching and endless enthusiasm of Mrs Trish

Morgan and other staff. Next year to assist Trish I

have managed to recruit Mr Valdimir. Mr Valdimir

formally coached the Russian weight lifting

program. He also will be helping Mr Lynn with

chemistry, assisting with the breakfast program as

well as sport. I want that fifth championship.

Presentation of the school is also I believe vitally

important. The orchard area is now looking

presentable and more consistent with the image I

want to portray of the school. Recently we

purchased a new lawn mower more suitable for

the front of the school to make it more

presentable. I have been very impressed with the

increased effort all staff but particularly our ground

staff has made to make the school I believe the

best presented Central School in the district. The

Parkes Shire Council have promised we they will

renew the front garden next year so I will look

forward to the car park area reflecting more

positively on the school and town. I am sure the

council will honour their commitment to the new

garden as the school is the first building travellers

see so it is important that the correct impression

of Trundle is given because the entrances to

Trundle may need a little work to say the least.

Uniform is vital in the process of creating and

maintaining school culture, spirit and safety.

Recently the P&C survey identified the school

community is supportive of changing the white

shirt worn by High School girls to the maroon and

yellow shirt. I believe this will make it easier for

families. K/1/2 will now wear a sports uniform for

Friday sport. These changes are phased in over a

three year period but it would be better for

everyone concerned if families could quickly

comply with these changes. All High School girls I

have spoken to are glad to see the end of the

white shirt. White shirts, in a country school I fail

to understand the thought process behind that

decision, unless you have shares in the

manufacturers of bleach.

Education needs to be a partnership between

schools, parents and students. This was not always

the case in the past. These are comments made by

a Trundle Central School teacher on a students work in the past. Bert, after reading your assignment

I am not impressed at all, indeed it is the worst handed

in all year. It appears it is a waste of time for yourself

and for that matter myself in correcting it. To add

insult to injury you have included at considerable effort

to yourself a map of Japan, appropriately marked on

both sides “Trundle School Library” and as this map is

not your property I have returned it to the Library. I will

make one further comment. Bert. If you are not

prepared to make a reasonable effort do not under

any circumstances expect to get a grade in social

studies better than ten next time. Try a little harder, I

would like to think you would do better – as you

probably can - than this miserable excuse for a piece

of form four work. Education has changed and I

would be very surprised if any teacher would write

such a negative comment on a student’s work.

Why would any professional educator believe that

this type of comment would encourage a student

to do better? This student has probably out-lived

and out-earned this teacher so who had the last

laugh?




Term 4 Week 10

Student Absences The Education Act of 1990 requires all students to attend school unless an explanation is

provided and accepted by the School.

If your child/ward is absent from school please send in a note or ring the school with an

explanation.

Presentation night is an acknowledgement of

student achievement. It is important that all

student achievement is recognised. This school has

an extremely transparent process for determining

awards where secret ballots are conducted. I have

heard ridiculous talk in the town that the process

is bias towards staff children. If staff children

deserve the award I cannot see any reason why

they cannot be rewarded. It is difficult enough for

staff children to be at the same school as a parent

in a small town where everyone has a theory.

Last week we conducted our ICE information

session. The power outage made some aspects of

the presentation not feasible but I believe students

understood the content of the talk. The most

telling points for me was when the presenters

stated ICE affects whole communities and families. I

am sick of the media referring to drug sellers or

terrorists as masterminds. A person with a

mastermind saves lives not create human mystery.

Last week America had yet another mass shooting.

This year 9800 people in America have been shot

by legal hand guns alone. This is a terrible fact and

there is no doubt that country needs massive

reform in their gun laws. However, I get offside

with some of my more politically correct collegues

when I say a gun in the country is tool of trade. I

grew up with guns as my father needed to reduce

vermin and my children have been around guns since birth. I do not believe anyone of my family

are more likely to kill someone as a person with no

exposure to guns at all. America needs to look

internally to see why they have had 356 mass

shootings this year and I hope our leaders do not

overreact to these incidents.

Another great week in Trundle

John Southon

(BYOD) program As part of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

program Trundle Central School will be starting

next year students from years 9, 10 and 11 will be

required to bring an electronic device to use in

class. The device is not limited to a Windows

laptop, but could be an IPad, MacBook,

Chromebook or Android tablet. A few key

requirements for the device are:

must be able to communicate over

5Ghz Wifi

a dedicated keyboard (iPad and tablets

can have Bluetooth or wired keyboards)

A battery life that will be able to last a

school day (6 hours minimum)

A protective case to prevent damage as there are likely to be knocks in a school

bag

If you have a device that meets these requirements

and you would like to test it on the school

network before the end of the year, please bring it

in so we can see if it is compatible.

If you have a laptop that meets all requirements

other than the 5Ghz Wifi it is possible to buy a

5Ghz Wifi USB dongle for around $50 to allow

the laptop to be used on the school network.

If you don’t have a device that would meet the

requirements and don’t think you will be able to

get an appropriate device for the BYOD program,

there are a number of older laptops that the

school has converted to Chromebooks that are

compatible on the school network that the school

can loan whilst parents are purchasing a device.

If you have any questions regarding the

requirements of the BYOD program, please see

the attached BYOD guidelines handout or contact

the school.

Term 4 Week 10

Super 8’s Cricket Under 14’s Girls The Under 14’s girl’s team got off to a slow and steady start in their pool games. But they came out

ready to take catches and hit plenty of runs in the finals. They played Yeoval in the semi-final. Yeoval

batted first and our girls got two wickets in the first over. They continued to field well and as a result

limited Yeoval’s total. Trundle came into bat full of confidence which showed as they hit many

boundaries and went on to win the match. The girls then faced Boorowa in the Final. After winning

the toss the girls decided to field first. Once again they bowled and field well taking many wickets and

keeping Boorowa to a total of 137. The Trundle team then came out to bat which they did with

enthusiasm and determination thus scoring 247 runs and therefore winning the game convincingly.

Congratulations to all the girls who displayed exceptional sportsmanship throughout the day and it is

an excellent achievement to win a state carnival. A special congratulations to Brooke Morgan who was

awarded the MVP for the Under 14’sGirls competition.

Super 8’s Cricket Under 14’s Boys The Under 14 Boys cricket team had a great day at the State Central Schools Finals. Their first game

was against Gulargambone, winning 131 – 106. They then went on to defeat Ungarie 171 – 73 and

Boorowa 172 – 103. In the final match of the day we were up against Coolah who were also

undefeated at that stage. In a close game the boys were victorious, 150 – 103 and were declared well-

deserving state champions. Congratulations also go to Brodi Gavin-Rossiter who was awarded the

MVP for his outstanding batting in the 14 boys competition. The whole team are to be commended

for their team spirit and sportsmanship.

Super 8’s Cricket Opens Team The opens team started the day by playing Gularganbone, we didn’t have the best start losing 13 wickets.

We were better with the ball, but the damage had already been done and we lost narrowly to

Gularganbone. In the second match the boys played Boorowa. Improving to only lose 5 wickets in this

match which made a big difference and we were able to take away the win. The third match saw us facing

up against Molong, who we beat in the 40 overs Cricket two weeks ago. Unfortunately, Molong got the

better of us by a handful of runs.

We then got to play in the semi-final against Gularganbone. We had improved since the start of the day.

We scored one less run than Gularganbone but took 5 more wickets which gave us the win, sending us

through to the final. In the final we were up against Boorowa, who we beat in the pool match. It was a

tight match which came right down to the last ball. Unfortunately, we lost by only 2 runs. The boys

played with great sportsmanship and team work throughout the day and very gracious in defeat.

Term 4 Week 10

40 Over Cricket Team Report On Wednesday last week our 40 over cricket team played in the semi final against Balranald Central

School at Dubbo. Trundle lost the toss and were sent in to field. Our stand out bowlers were Albert

Wykes and Bryce Gavin-Rossiter taking 3 wickets each. Trundle bowled Balranald out for 106 runs in

22 overs. Brodi Gavin-Rossiter and Bryce Gavin-Rossiter led the run chase brilliantly with an opening

partnership of 40 runs. Brodi went on to score 53 not out which was an outstanding effort. Trundle

scored the runs in 13 overs which was a great effort. Winning this game meant that we would play

Gulargambone in the final on Thursday.

We arrived on Thursday morning in Dubbo enthusiastic and ready to play hard. We loss the toss and

were sent in to bat. With nerves at a high, our openers reached a partnership of 19 before Bryce

Gavin-Rossiter was bowled out. Wills Wells came in to bat at 4th and made a total of 33. This was a

match winning effort as he held strong partnerships with both Karl Turner and Liam Walsh. Trundle

were bowled out for a total of 106.

After a pep talk from our coach Miss Rowlands we were pumped up to field the best we possibly could

and we knew we had to hold on to catches if we wanted to win the game. Brad Watt opened the

bowling and on his second ball the batter wacked it straight to Bryce Rowley-Howarth and he took the

catch. Gulargambone were patient and but were not scoring many runs which we were happy about.

Our captain Brad Watt, made a bowling change and put Bryce Gavin-Rossiter on to bowl. This young

man has the most unusual technique Miss Rowlands has ever seen, but it seems to work. He bowled

the Gulargambone captain out for 8 runs. We knew this was the wicket we needed, as he was their

best batter. The combination of accurate bowling and brilliant fielding meant we bowled them all out

for 76 runs. This meant that we are now Central School State Champions in 40 over cricket.

We were presented with our medals and Wills Wells was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for

his match winning run total of 33. We received our trophy which is another one for the cabinet and

we were stoked! A big thank you to Miss Rowlands for coaching, umpiring and driving the bus, to Mrs

Morgan for organising all the games from the start of the competition and for staying back at work to

greet us when we arrived home from our win and Mr Lynn for taking us when Miss Rowlands was

unable to. Thanks to our parents and carers for washing our whites (scrubbing and soaking them) so

we could look our best on game days. A huge congratulations to all the players and to Brad Watt for

being an excellent captain. Bring on 2016 so we can win again!

Reminder To all students participating in the 2016 WAP

access camp. Please complete the 2 online forms

and pay the deposit to the front office this week.

Year 11 Be prepared with stationary - you will need at least 6 folders, pens, highlight-

ers, hole punch, A4 books for each subject and loose leaf plastic holders. The-

se are essential - you may need other stationary depending on the subjects

you have chosen.

Physical activity is still important when study ramps up at school. This is the

age many kids drop sport, but it's important for them to continue to incorpo-

rate exercise into their schedule to help them manage stress as they prepare

for the HSC.

In Year 11 your child will be expected to work harder and be more proactive in their study. It's a

big step up from Year 10.

At the beginning of the year your child will receive an assessment book or calendar, with the dates

of all assignments and exams for the year. Review this together and put the dates in a highly

visible family calendar (on the fridge perhaps) as well as in your child's study diary or smartphone

calendar. Encourage them to plan a regular and consistent study schedule from the first week of

Term 1.

Year 12 study starts for your child at the beginning of Term 4 this year.

Monitor your child's technology use. Research shows that the quality of study and learning suffers

when kids are frequently interrupted by texts, emails, phone calls or by flicking between homework

and Facebook screens. Instead, tell them to schedule 10 minute breaks every hour to catch up on

their social lives, if need be.

TIPS FOR STARTING IN YEAR 11 Each year in high school brings new academic and personal

challenges for parents and their teens. Here are some tips from

NSW public high school teachers to help you prepare for the year

ahead. http://www.schoolatoz.nsw.edu.au/en/homework-and

JOKE OF THE WEEK

In Tony Robinson's History of

Australia, the always-entertaining

storyteller explores the modern

history of our nation, from colo-

nial beginnings to the Stolen

Generations apology, with trade-

mark gusto. He delights in unfurl-

ing lesser-known tales such as

the First Fleet's Founding Orgy

or how shots fired in Port Phillip

Bay raised the curtains of both

World Wars. But it's people that

most interest Robinson, and

from William Dampier to Anh

Do he profiles a multicultural

cast of characters who have con-

tributed to the remarkable Aus-

tralian story.

In this hilarious chapter book mystery,

meet a girl whose parents have been kid-napped by disreputable foxes, and a pair of

detectives that also happen to be bunnies! When Madeline gets home from school

one afternoon to discover that her par-ents have gone missing, she sets off to find

them. So begins a once-in-a-lifetime adven-ture involving a cast of unforgettable char-

acters. There's Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, who drive a smart car, wear fedoras, and hate

marmots; the Marmot, who loves garlic bread and is a brilliant translator; and

many others.

Oz and Lily's family have inherit-

ed it, together with the mysteri-

ous shop downstairs. Long ago,

its famous chocolate-makers

were clever sorcerers. Now evil

villains are hunting the secret of

their greatest recipe. The terrify-

ing power of this magic chocolate

could destroy the world.

The children are swept into a

thrilling battle, helped by an invis-

ible cat, a talking rat and the

ghost of an elephant.




Community

Term 4 Week 10

Our next BTD Committee meeting is next Wednesday 16th December at

Trundle Hotel. If you have never been involved in a

community event before, then here is your chance. Bring your skills to this

committee meeting and suggest ways to make sure that next year’s event is even

bigger than the last! It’s a Trundle institution that is well worth
