of something that is happening around town that
would benefit our students, please let us know.
Presentation Day
At the end of last year, we held our presentation
day, congratulations again to all of our students on
your behaviour and attendance on the day. The
event was greatly attended and we would welcome
any feedback you have on our running of
presentation day during school hours, as was the
case in 2019. Please feel free to give the lovely
ladies in the office a call if you have any
suggestions on how we can continue to improve this
event.
School Gates
Please be advised that our bottom school gate
(closest to the highway) and the second gate along

main visitor gate remains unlocked. Please ensure

A reminder that students can
bring in items from home to
share for news, but they are
kept in the classroom or

Have a spectacular week.

SECONDARY NEWS
Welcome to Week 4.
WAP Camp 2020
Thank you to all of our wonderful students and
course coordinators who presented sessions at the
Western Access Program camp held at Burrendong
Sport and Recreation Centre last week. Feedback
from students was that they had some fantastic
learning sessions and were very tired when they
arrived back. Thanks must go to Mrs Stanford and
her organising team for a well-run and enjoyable
camp.
Shoe Reminder
Just a reminder to secondary students that you need
to ensure that you have enclosed leather shoes for
science and technology subjects. This is a WHS
requirement. Students are encouraged to wear their
correct shoes to school and bring their joggers for
when they have PE. For students studying
Agriculture and Primary Industries in stages 4 – 6
students need to ensure that they also have a hat for
practical lessons.

ENGLISH FACULTY REPORT
Stage 4 English
This term in English we are focusing on Gender
Stereotyping in Advertising and students have been
working on their understanding of what the media
tells us we should look like and whether that is
actually what we think as individuals.
One of the activities we completed early on in this
topic was to, in boy and girl groups, come up with a
picture, words and phrases that make up what we
are told is the ideal ‘man’ or ‘woman’.
All students really engaged with this activity,
showing some very clear understandings and quite
informed discussions were held from that
understanding. I cannot wait to delve into this topic
more with this great group of kids!
Courtney Foley
Secondary English Teacher
Stage 5 English
Stage 5 English are currently studying a unit on
documentaries. Throughout the term, they will
examine how documentaries represent the world
around us through point-of-view and a variety of
film and visual language techniques.
As an introductory activity, students had to create
their own mini nature documentary and I think it is
safe to say that all students had a lot of fun! They
had to come up with their own imaginary animal
and improvise that animal’s behaviour in the wild,
while ‘David Attenborough’ narrated in the
background. Term 1 in English at Tullamore
Central School is off to a flying start! –
Ben Knight.
Secondary English Teacher
Stage 6
Access Camp
Last week all Stage 6 English classes attended
sessions at Lake Burrendong. Congratulations to all
students on demonstrating their mature and
committed approach during these sessions with their
Stage 6 English course coordinators! As always,
Access camp is a fantastic opportunity for students
to engage with hands on learning with their peers
and teachers.
Year 11 English Studies
This term English Studies students are doing the
English in Education, Work and Community topic.
The aim of this topic is to prepare students for life
outside of school by helping learn how to write an
effective resume and cover letter, and organise their
resources and money in the real world.
Year 11 Drama
So far this term, Drama students have been in the
process of learning about the ways in which you can
perform. One of those ways of method acting is
called improvisation – where you make up the scene
as you go. It is safe to say we have been having a lot
TERM 1 2020– WEEK 4

of fun! Here you can witness a zookeeper trying to
catch an escaped elephant… with a bucket?
Courtney Foley
Secondary English Teacher
Year 11 English Standard
Throughout term, Year 11 English Standard
students are investigating the relationship between
reading and writing and how this relationship
impacts on their everyday lives. One of the
components of this unit is to encourage students to
read as widely as possible so that their writing can
become increasingly sophisticated and nuanced.
The class has set themselves a reading challenge,
started a reading journal, and borrowed some books
from our library! I was impressed to see the
enthusiastic way all students have approached their
learning so far!
Year 12 English Standard
This term Year 12 English Standard have been
studying a variety of short texts to build on their
repertoire of skills and knowledge in the craft of
writing. Students are enjoying the opportunity to
take inspiration from a variety of quality texts from
literature to compose their own discursive and
imaginative texts.

Secondary English Teacher
AGRICULTURE IN ACTION
Wanted – Cans & 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
Agriculture plot area where there are two bins
labelled Cans and Plastic Bottles and Glass Bottles.
Show Team Practices
Permission notes will go out this week for students
in the junior and senior show squads. The first show
for 2020 is Bathurst Royal Show, which will be in
the April school holidays. Information about this
will go out soon for senior squad.

Agriculture Teacher
SPORT
Please refer to Term at a Glance for upcoming
sporting events.
District Swimming
Best of luck to all our students heading off to the
district swimming in Narromine this Friday. There
will be Gobondery/NARRAF polo shirts available
for $25.00 on the day.
Pool Sport
Primary students will not be at the pool for sport
this week. Students will participate in regular sport
at school instead.
Cassie Hinchley
Sports Coordinator
It has been great to see so many students already
borrowing books and reading this term!
The primary students have allocated borrowing time
during class and students are welcome to borrow
and return books during lunch times when the
library is open.
Please remember to bring a library bag to keep
books protected. Spare library bags are available if
required.
A few reminders
* Due to the amount of missing/damaged books last
year, we unfortunately are going to have to ask
parents to reimburse the school or replace copies of
books. In other schools, this is common practice.
* If you know a book has been lost or damaged,
please let us know as we still have some outstanding
from last year.
* The library is a drink and food free zone.
* The library is open at lunch Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Have a lovely week
