We are excited to have the opportunity to trial a new iniƟaƟve in conƟnuing to develop our networks and partnerships with local schools in our area for both our teachers and our students. Last term, Bowning PS travelled to our school to parƟcipate in sporƟng sessions delivered through Gecko Sport. This term we will travel to Bowning PS to parƟcipate in Gecko Sport sessions together and classroom learning. Ms King and Ms Heernan (36 teacher at Bowning PS) have been parƟcipaƟng in mathemaƟcs professional learning together and now have the opportunity to expand their pracƟce through team teaching. Mrs Innes has been training in L3 and now has the opportunity to work with Mrs Quinn (K2 teacher and trained L3 teacher) also. Whilst there, students will also get to have the opportunity to train in their teams for the Boorowa Touch Football and Netball Carnival to be held early in Term 4. Experiences like this improve teacher pracƟce and student outcomes. They also provide students with the chance to develop wider social networks and the chance to learn alongside other students in their year group. Permission notes went home last week and are due tomorrow (22.8.2017) morning. Aboriginal EducaƟon ConsultaƟve Group Last Thursday I aƩended the local AECG (Aboriginal EducaƟon ConsultaƟve Group) meeƟng in Yass. There we shared what our schools in the Yass Valley and Ngunawal region are doing to incorporate Aborinal and Torres Strait Islander perspecƟves in our teaching and learning programs. I shared our involvement in the Yalbinyagirri project, the primary unit on the Burnt SƟck, the Dreaming unit that we are studying in Library and the upcoming addiƟon of a Bush Tucker Garden. Uncle Bob (Bungton) has oered to visit our school and share some of his stories with us and we look forward to seeing him soon! District AthleƟcs Carnival CongratulaƟons to those students who represented Binalong Public School at the Cootamundra District AthleƟcs Carnival last Monday. We are awaiƟng the results for the day and will let our students know if they have been successful in making it to the next level. Science Week DemonstraƟon Thank you to Mrs Innes for arranging Mr Priest and his two Year 11 students (ex Binalong PS student Breanna Dyball made an appearance) for coming along and sharing their love of science last Friday. Those who aƩended assembly were in awe over the demonstraƟons throughout the aŌernoon. Book Week This Friday we celebrate Book Week and our love of reading and books, so come dressed as a character from your favourite book.
