Annual School Report
This detailed report from 2015 out-
lines the academic achievements at
Dubbo North PS throughout the
year, what the allocated funds were
spent on and all other pertinent in-
formation related to activities last
year. It is now available online on
the school website so please feel
free to browse through it and if you
have any questions please feel free
to contact me through the office.
School iPads
The school has recently taken deliv-
ery of, after purchasing, over 70
iPads which will be used as invalua-
ble teaching and learning resources.
This now means that there is a class
set for Kindergarten, a class set for
Stage 1 classes, a class set for Stage
2 classes and a class set for stage 3
classes. The support classes also
have a range of iPads for their use.
These resources were purchase out
of additional school funding and
I’m sure will be valuable compo-
nents of your child’s education.
District Cross Country
We have over 30 students attending
the District Cross Country this
Wednesday and it will be held once
again at the Geurie racecourse. Miss
Lander, Miss Ferguson and Mrs Jef-
fery will be accompanying the stu-
dents and I’m sure the entire school
community wishes them all the
best.
Professional Learning
Staff at Dubbo North Public School
Dubbo North Public School “Skill with Honour by being Responsible,
Safe & Respectful lifelong learners”
Weekly Newsletter Week 6 Term 2 2016
have been attending and completing a
whole range of Professional Learning
recently – from using iPads in Maths
lessons, to catering for students with
hearing and vision problems, to Out
Of Home Care facts, to dealing with
ADHD through dietary means and
more ongoing Positive Behaviour for
Learning (PBL) training. All these
skills and valuable information en-
sure your students receive the most
up to date and detailed education
there is to offer.
School Contribution Fees
These are now overdue and can be
paid at the front office; they are $40
per student or $80 per family and all
money goes towards purchasing
school resources for your children.
When you pay your fees you also go
into the draw to win a major prize
from the P&C towards the end of the
year.
School Tracksuit Pants
Please ensure students are wearing
the correct coloured jumpers, pants
and tracksuit pants to school during
the colder months. Black, blue and
red are not our school colours, so
pants need to be green or grey and
jumpers green. If this proves to be an
issue please contact me through the
front office and some confidential
assistance can be provided by the
school with regards to uniform.
Have a good week.

Western Debating Challenge Last Tuesday, Dubbo North’s debating team;

lations to the team on winning the debate and
putting forward some amazing arguments. They
