Term 4 Week 6

Principal’s

Message

This week Year 7-10 exams all week. Girls

cricket Wednesday with Brooke and Willa competing in representative cricket and a 40

overs match on Friday in Gilgandra. Hopefully the

weather will be fine but not very hot for the

cricket. Our 40 overs side has had two very good

wins in the last two rounds but Friday’s opposition

is very strong and we are travelling to the game. I

have banned them from watching the Australian

team both for their ability to quickly count to one

hundred and their cricketing ability.

Year 7-10 core subject exams are this week. I

spoke to students on assembly and mentioned

that they need to be honest with themselves.

Often teachers and parents can be fooled in

relation to the quality and level of preparation but

they cannot fool themselves. These exams will not

greatly affect the outcomes of your child’s life but

they are important building blocks in developing

exam skills for the future.

Last week the school received the results of the

Valid Science on-line test. This is a competition

open to schools across the state. Aidan Kirk achieved a score which placed him in the top 5

percent of all candidates. This closely follows

Aidan achieving band six in the NAPLAN test last

year. This achievement is yet again proof that

students can achieve anything in country schools. I

still go to state meetings and fellow Principal’s

react in a fashion of pity when I say I am from

Trundle Central School. Well pity me if you like

because this school is achieving in relation to the

building positive learning outcomes with students

that other schools can only envy.

Last Friday the Remembrance Day Celebration

was conducted in very hot weather. Our students

were amazing in the way they conducted

themselves. They showed respect for the occasion

and the speakers. I wish the Department had a

graph that measured these types of qualities in

children.

The concrete slab for the School to Work Program

shed has been finally poured. The constant wet

weather over the last few months has delayed this

project. This shed will house our small motors

program and the School to Work workshop. This

is an example of Local Schools Local Decisions

allowing us to provide flexible curriculum that

meets the needs of our students.

I am often asked about the development of pre-

school skills. A child entering Kindergarten needs

some basic skills such as self-care, appropriate

gross and fine motor skills, the ability to respond

appropriately to requests and some basic pre-

literacy and numeracy skills. The most effective

way of developing these skills is to talk to your

children and encourage appropriate responses,

not talk at them or direct and read to your child.

Reading develops cognitive ability and imagination

but also encourages the longer attention span

necessary for school.

In other good news the Trundle Progress

Association has agreed to release 20,000 dollars

from community money to help fund our tennis /

netball court. This facility is going to be open to

the public for a small hire fee and eventually have

lights for night time competitions. I believe it will

be a massive boost to sport both in the school

and town. We have raised 46000 dollars. The

current quote is 86000 so we have a challenge

ahead. The Department’s property officer is

coming to the school on Wednesday this week to

measure and prepare an additional quote.

The town pool is a fantastic facility which we are

blessed to have in the town. I believe the

community needs to make sure the change in

management does not create a change in the pool

culture. The current people running the facility are

good efficient people and I have no problem with

them. My concern is that often corporatisation of

management creates a one rule for all mentality

that fails to take into account the unique

characteristics of a community. Recently I had a

small issue in relation to the exclusive booking of

the facility. Previously it could have been sorted

locally without me having to wait on hold for a

considerable period and then been told the




Term 4 Week 6

person with the answers is not available. Maybe

we were living in a false economy before and this

is the new more efficient way of running the

facility. I wonder?

On occasions children will become sunburnt which

is almost a rite of passage in Australia. This school

strictly follows a sun-safe policy. This means that

your child requires a hat this time of year.

Repeated sunburn leads to sun cancer, the most

common type of cancer in Australia. Sunburnt

children stand out in the playground for all the

wrong reasons and schools are required to report

students that are repeatedly burnt to the Child

Wellbeing Unit because it is a form of neglect.

The American election was a surprise result and it

does have ramifications for Australia. One example

is the Trump administration seems to be moving

towards protectionist trade barriers especially for

commodities. Another affect could be the total

absence of bricklayers as they move to America to

start the wall between Mexico and USA. This

election result and the Orange bi-election also

could be a movement away from traditional

politics and the ruling elite that have dominated

politics in both countries. The American people

registered a protest vote because of the

dominance of power and decision making amongst

a few. Hopefully the transition of power will be

through the ballot box as America can become

violent quickly. I heard a child on Channel Seven

news say this is the start of World War 3. History

teachers should be proud that he knows world

wars occurred before but I think that is a bit of an

over reaction.

Harvest is commencing and the amount of traffic in

the street should increase in the next few weeks. I

encourage parents to be aware of this especially

for young children riding bikes. The width of our

main street creates false confidence in our children

on push bikes and challenging a fully loaded truck

is never a good outcome.

Recently Ben Barber was found to have cocaine in

his system after some Mad Monday celebrations.

This is a shame on many levels. This young man is

one of those players that is blessed with rare

talent. He could also be a role model to his

people. I blame the Sharks coaching staff because

they constantly told him to strive to get over the

white line. Hopefully he can come back because

the game needs its superstars.

Another great week in Trundle

Student Absences

If your child is away for any period of time the school

needs to be notified each day that they are away and

within 7 days.

i.e. Your child is sick on Monday.

You should ring and notify the school that

our child is away. Your child then continues to be away for the next couple of

days. You still need to notify the school each day that

your child is away.

Please be aware that even when you notify the school,

whether it be a sick or leave day, it still goes against your

child’s attendance rate, which is harvested from our school

by Departmental Officers.

Assembly Another fantastic assembly was held on

Friday, 11th November. Selected students

from each class enjoyed the opportunity to

host the assembly. We were thoroughly

entertained by a PowerPoint of the K-2

Wambangalang Excursion, the reading of

poetry by selected students and also the reading of

My Place stories from Year 5/6 students. The

highlight of the assembly was the presentation of

Top Student Awards to three deserving students.

Well done James Smith, Jake Callow and Lionel

Hartig!

Sun Safe Policy This term is a No Hat No Play term. Students

MUST wear a wide brimmed hat. This means

that if they do not have a hat, they cannot

participate in any outdoor activities including lunch

time play. We keep a small selection of spare hats

for those students who accidently forget their hats.

These hats are washed regularly but are not to be used every day by the same students. We will

endeavour to call parents to let them know their

child has forgotten their hat so that it can be found.

Please make sure you put your child’s name

inside their hat.

Kindergarten/Year 6 Transition This week will be the fifth week of Kindergarten/

Year 6 Transition sessions that will run throughout

the term. This year the sessions will run from 8:55

– 11:20am. This will allow the Pre-schoolers and

Year 6 to engage in some fantastic activities to

ensure the transition from both Preschool and

Primary School is a smooth and enjoyable

experience. All classes in primary will be moving up into the

next group for these sessions. It is a great way for

the students to practise being in a new class.

K-6 Swimming For Sport K/1/2 will be going to the pool for Sport this Friday.

Please ensure you have returned your permission

note to the front office.

Please ensure your children have swimmers, a

towel, sunscreen, a swim shirt and $2 for

entry to the pool unless you have a season ticket.

We will be walking back to school at the end of

sport unless we have been notified of alternative

arrangements.

Gobondery Shield Notes will be sent home today to inform parents

and students about the Gobondery Shield day

which will be held on Thursday the 24th November.

This event is for students from Year 2 through to

Year 6. It is a fantastic day of sports, trivia,

swimming and dancing. This year it will be held in

Tottenham.

Term 4 Week 6

Secondary

Our students have completed their first week of

exams and are now starting the core exams of English,

Mathematics, Science and HSIE. The students have all

had exemplary behaviour so far and should be

congratulated for this. On Friday our 40 Over cricket team once again

displayed their skills in another convincing victory.

Well done to the students and thanks to Ms Rowlands

for her supervision. A special mention of both teams

stopping to observe a minute silence at 11.00 for

Remembrance day. Thanks to all the volunteers who were at our

afternoon tea on Friday. Our Secondary students

benefit from the support and specialised knowledge of

so many locals it is a real pleasure to be able to say

thanks, both to those who could make it an those who

couldn’t. As usual the vast majority of our students are

continuing to progress up the welfare levels. It is

important that all students realise that these levels

dictate what they are able to participate in while at

school. This includes excursions and sporting teams. If

any parents would like to discuss any aspects of their

students’ behaviour or our school welfare policy they

are always welcome to contact me at school.

Have a great week

Western Area Cricket Trials Best wishes to Brooke Morgan and Willa Stokes who are attending the Trials for

the Girls Western Area cricket team.

40 Overs Cricket Our 40 over cricket team will head to Gilgandra

on Friday to take on Gulargambone in the 3rd

round of the Central Schools Cricket knockout.

This is the same school we beat in the final of the

competition last year so I am sure it will be a

competitive match. Good luck to the team.

40 Over Cricket Last Friday the 40 Over Cricket team took on

Dunedoo Central School on home turf at

Berryman Oval. Trundle won the toss and sent

the opposition into bat. Dunedoo were slow

scorers but difficult to get out. With some

cracking catches by Brad Watt and some perfect

line and length by a number of bowlers, Dunedoo

were all out for 55 runs. The players stopped just

before 11am to have a minute’s silence for

Remembrance Day. This was a special moment for

our players and Miss Rowlands was extremely

proud of their attitude towards this day.

It seemed to be Brad Watt’s day as he opened the

batting in style. He scored a total of 39 runs not

out to give Trundle the victory. Wills Wells

supported him scoring 4 not out. This takes

Trundle into round 3 of the competition. Thanks

to Mrs Morgan for organising the day and Miss

Rowlands for supervising and scoring. Stay tuned

for Round 3.

Bowling:

W Wells - 3 wickets for 13 runs off 6 overs

H Williams - 2 wickets for 2 runs off 1 over

R Stokes - 1 wicket for 18 runs off 4 overs
