Thank you to all of our parents who volunteer to help transport your
children and other students. A big thank you to those teachers who put in all
the additional time to coach and last but not least to our talented students
who put in extra time training and participating in the games. Many of these
trips are long, yet your child’s commitment is great. They are all winners!
What a fabulous time we had during Book Week last week, great costumes,
class stories, trivia night and the library party. Thank you to Helen McCubbin
and Trish Connelly in the library for all your organisation and making book
Week a week to remember. The photos are great! Well done to all staff!
“Olly” the Owl made an appearance at our school assembly on Friday. He
reminds students to be respectful, caring, cooperative and responsible at all
times. I discussed with the students how to be supportive to each other in
our playground. When students are in difficulty, other students need to help
out positively by redirecting them or by seeing the teacher on duty. Please
support this positive behaviour by discussing this with your child. We have
new PBL stickers to be used for positive reinforcement across the school
soon. We will be showing our journey at the upcoming “PBL on Show” at the
RSL Club on September 15th.
Please remind your children to wear their school hats every day. The
weather is warming up quickly and faces need to be protected at all times.
School hats are available for $12.
Good luck to all students participating at the Western Region Athletics this
Friday. Do your best and enjoy! See you there. I will be time keeping in 1st
place.
Happy Fathers Day to all our Dad’s!
Cheers Sharon

Enrolments are being accepted for Kindergarten
children commencing school in 2012. An
immunisation certificate, birth certificate and proof
of address are required before your child
commences school.
A Fathers Day Stall will be held on Friday 2nd
September. We are requesting donations of gifts
from the value of 50c to $10. It would be great to
have lots of items for the children to select from.
Book Week was a giant success, thanks to all the students, parents and teachers who dressed up, supported Trivia night and prepared food.
The students need to be congratulated on their effort and behaviour throughout the week.
The ladies in the clothing
pool need to get orders for
long sleeved shirts for both
boys and girls in by the end
of this term. I know the
winter uniform for 2012 is far from your thoughts
however, it would help them if you could complete
the slip below to assist them with the initial order.
The cost of the shirt will be between $25 and $30
and will only be available from the school.
Please return the slip by Friday 9th September.

Congratulation again boys!
Bryan Palmer Shield Ten schools competed in two separate gala days to begin the Bryan Palmer Shield for Public Schools in the Western Region. With Parkes PS and Dubbo South PS winning their respective days, they took to the field at Victoria Park on a sunny Dubbo morning to determine the Western champion for 2011. With pace to burn out wide the Dubbo South boys ran in a number of tries to topple a courageous Parkes team. Dubbo South now plays Harbord from Sydney in the Quarter Finals.
Congratulations to
the boys hockey team
who defeated Corowa
Public School
yesterday by 3-2 at
Albury. The boys
played extremely
well, their team spirit
was amazing and the
quality of play outstanding. Congratulations to Dalton Medcalf for
scoring all 3 goals. The boys will now progress to the finals day to
be held at Lithgow on 15th September.
Thank you to Tom Bowman who drove the bus to and from Albury, Doug Medcalf for coaching us to victory, Troy O’Leary, David Crowe, Jon Raidaveta for providing supervision throughout the stay. A big thank you to Orana Mutual for their kind donation towards the cost of this event and the PCYC for their support.
A battle of epic proportions is the only way to describe the girls’ touch game held in Gilgandra last Thursday. Gilgandra scored first goal starting what would be a see-sawing ledger for the remainder of the game. The teams went try for try making it 4-3 at halftime. The match continued in this vein during the second half and the score went back and forth until DSPS tied the match at 6-6 with three minutes left. Both teams had chances and nerves were showing but in the final twenty seconds a bold play from the girls resulted in Georgia Simmonds making a break down the blindside and ultimately scoring in the corner to deliver
a last gasp win for Dubbo South. All players are to be congratulated for the way they played and should be extremely proud of their efforts. The team will now move on to the Western semi-finals against either Middleton or Kandos in the next fortnight.
All Years 3-6 students will be involved in the Term 4 PSSA competition. There is no school based sport. The cost each week is $3 for the bus. Stage 3 students have already made their choices. Stage 2 will make their choices on Wednesday and Thursday. Choices are: Junior Girls Tee Ball, Junior Boys Tee Ball, Junior Boys Touch Football, Junior Girls Touch Football, Junior Boys Cricket, Junior Girls Cricket. We are restricted by the Dubbo PSSA as to how many teams we can field in each sport so children may not get their first choice.
Congratulations to all competitors for their individual performances at the District PSSA carnival last Tuesday. Of the 49 students who took part, 31 have progressed to the next stage, being the Western Area Carnival this Friday 2nd September. Our team performed brilliantly to take out the overall point score trophy and the averages trophy. This is outstanding given that our point score was divided by the number of students in Years 3-6. Being a large school this was substantial. We won all four relays on the day and our students won four of the six age championships. Special congratulations to Ethan Willetts (Junior Boys), Isaac Hogan (11 Years Boys), Majayda Darcy (11 Years Girls) and Georgia Simmonds (Senior Girls).
will be held on Friday 2nd September at Barden Park, Dubbo. Congratulations to Amy Halliwell, Ethan Willetts, Liam Duncan, Ava Medley, Craig Simpson, Grace Gilroy, Majayda Darcy, Georgia Simmonds, Keely Potter, Aliyah Ngatuakana, Izaiah Raidaveta, Ben Wheeler, Hayden Goodall, Matthew Dodd, Khailiah Fernando, Blake Merritt, Jonathon Gleeson, Lucy Gleeson, Alix Medley, Ben Duncan, Jayden Blake, Kobi Etcell, Lily Drash, Isaac Hogan, Jasmine Daley, Callum Astill, Namya Athauda, Emma Blake, Jayden Miller, Alex Couley and Will Grant. Students have received permission notes and events information. j
Congratulations to Georgia Cudmore, Holly Shields, Olivia Baker, Emily Blackett, Emily Cudmore, Matthew Heaslip, Hannah McNaught, Tom Shields, Samantha Bray, Holly Faulds, Zaland Yousafzai, Felicity Hedger, Angus Wood, Jackie Bayley, Georgia Benton-Bryant, Harriet Hedger, Ashlee Haywood, Hayden Goodall, Matt Halliwell, Kirrily Pearson, Miriam Pearson, Millie Wright and Harrison Howarth who completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge in the past week. The Challenge has now closed for 2011. Well done to all those students who saw the challenge through to the end (and to their very supportive parents!)
Perry Angel’s Suitcase by Glenda Millard
“I like Perry Angel’s Suitcase because each chapter has a new problem to be solved. My favourite character is Blue the dog, who can’t hear a single thing, and my favourite day is egg making day. One of the eggs is a magic carpet egg and it’s cool!”
