Belinda Davies, Raelene Tant, Donna Germon, Kate
Holt, Jessica Holt, Kimberly Higgins, Kath Lane.
Semester 1 Reports We have changed the format in an effort to provide a
better snapshot of your child’s progress. If the teacher
feels an interview with parents is needed they will
indicate with a “red dot” on the report. Don’t panic,
this just means some discussion between parents and
teachers may help support your child.
If you have some “red dots” you can ring the office
on 6374 1622 to arrange an interview with your child’s
class teacher in the near future.
An interview at a mutually convenient time can be
requested by parents anytime during the year.
Paparazzi Team & Ten Dollar Circus News
We received a very nice letter from a recent visitor to
Gulgong:
“Dear Alan
Just a note to say thank you to you and the other stall
holders at the Markets (in Coronation Park) yesterday.
Particularly, I would like to say how impressed I am
with the photos the children are taking. I will enjoy the
two I bought with happy memories of Gulgong. They
are fortunate children to have guidance in
photography at such an early age.
Sincerely
MP”
Congratulations to Paparazzi and Ten Dollar Circus
students for work at the Mudgee Small Farm Field
Days. We were very busy for two days with fine
weather bringing lots of visiting children having a go
at circus, craft, speed stacking and face painting.
Special mention must be made of the small number of
students who worked in the TDC pavilion over the
Field Days weekend. Great work was done in art &
craft, speed stacking and helping visitors with circus
skills in many ways. Thank you to Emma, Archie,
Teagan, Allanah & Joshua, Mark, Victoria, Sigrid and
Hannah, Olivia, Arabella , Jasmine, Maddi, Breanna,
Mia, Archerson, Michaella, Kaylah, Haylee, Ruby,
Issy, Olivia, Nikki, Marnie, Kali and Riley.

Honesty
What is Honesty?
Being honest is being open, trustworthy and truthful.
When people are honest, they can be relied on not to
lie, cheat, or steal. Honesty is telling the truth. It is
admitting mistakes even when you know someone
might be angry or disappointed. Being honest means
that you don’t pretend to be something you are not.
With honesty, you can trust things to be as they appear.
Why Practice It?
Honesty is important because it builds trust. When
people lie, or cover up mistakes, others can’t trust
them. When people aren’t honest with themselves,
they pretend that something doesn’t matter when it
does or they exaggerate to impress others. When you
are honest with yourself, you accept yourself as you
are. When you are honest, others can believe you.
How Do You Practice It?
When you are honest, you don’t try to fool yourself or
others. You say what you mean and mean what you
say. You only make promises you can keep. Be
trustworthy in all your dealings, refusing to lie or
cheat. Admit your mistakes and fix them. Be honest
with yourself and you will be honest with others. You
don’t need to make things up to look good—you’re
already good—honest.
Affirmation
“I am honest. I can be trusted to keep my word. I
admit my mistakes. I tell the truth, kindly and tactfully.
I have no need to impress others. I accept myself as I
am.”
