From the principal’s desk:

The annual school Athletics

carnival was held last week

and it was a wonderful

couple of days. Students

participated with a great

deal of energy and it was

wonderful to see them

challenging themselves in a

range of athletic events. A

big “thank you” to the

House Captains, Mr

Filewood and Mr McDonell

for their organisation of this

event.

The annual school Music

night was held last week

and displayed an array of

talented musicians we

have at this school.

Congratulation to all the

musicians on a fine display

of their musical talents, and

of course thank you to the

CAPA faculty for the

seamless organisation of

this event.

their hands to reduce the

spread of respiratory disease.

BAND NEWS

Last week at the Annual Music Nights, families and the school community were

treated to some wonderful music from our talented Baulko musicians. Featuring solos

and group performances from students in the elective music classes, and each band

and ensemble, the audience enjoyed an array of musical styles, including 8 hands

piano piece and an acapella group. It was a full house on both evenings. Thank you

to Ms Julie Kim for organising the event and to all the teaching staff for their support;

Ms Pugliano, Ms Clarke, Mr Humphreys, Ms Lockley and teachers across all faculties

(too many to name).

Special thanks to the Conductors for their expertise: Dr Madrid, Dr Clark, Ms Brown,

Mrs Groves, Ms Wang and Mr Mak (Euro tour special guest). It was great to see

students enjoying themselves whilst performing and see the rewards of putting in

years of hard work practising and rehearsing.

Thanks to parents serving supper at Interval.

IMPORTANT: Busways School Service Changes

Commencing May 27th 2019

Commencing Monday 27th May 2019 there will be significant changes to the Busways

Western Sydney Network, resulting from the introduction of the Norwest Metro.

Busways have created letters to advise students and parents of any changes to current

services, which will be distributed on the affected services from this week.

However, due to the scale of change involved and to ensure all students are aware of the

changes, we are asking all School administration teams to assist in urging parents to check

their Schools New Timetable starting 27th May to familiarise themselves with the changes.

You can find your schools timetable here (please select the link to the right of your School’s

name labelled “New timetable | 27 May 2019”): https://www.busways.com.au/school-

services/school-timetables.

PLEASE NOTE: The new timetables are not currently available, however they will be uploaded

no later than 20th May 2019.

Alternatively, you can use TfNSW Transport Planner to view all transport options (not just

Busways services, i.e. including Train, Metro, Light Rail, Ferry and other bus operator services)

to assist students in planning their travel to and from School.

TfNSW Transport Planner can be accessed here (ensure School Bus services are also selected

in the options): https://transportnsw.info/trip#/

Procedure for Sick Students

Students who are sick in class should see a teacher for written permission to go to sick bay. They must

go to sick bay (which is in the Front Office) and follow instructions from the office staff, who will contact

a parent/guardian when necessary. Sick bay is used for a short time only. Students should not call their

parents first. Please be advised the school does not supply any medication (panadol).
