at the Young High School. These
sessions give students an

the school. It also allows students
from different schools to come
together and familiarise themselves
with the staff, current students and
school grounds. William attended
the Technics class, Sienna enjoyed
the music class and Hayden used his

to make pizzas. William, Sienna

Kids Teaching Kids Conference
Students from Year 5 have been working hard
to prepare a presentation for the Landcare’s
Kids Teaching Kids Conference. The students
had to find out information on a creature of
the Lachlan Catchment and present this
information to approximately 40 students.
Georgia, Jessica H, Jessica K, Jackson and
Yousuf worked together to find out why bees
are an important part of our daily lives and
how we can help to look after their
environment. Students researched information
in books, on the internet, collected resources
from home as well as listened to guest
speaker, Mr Forde. Mr Forde visited Wombat
Public and spent time with the Year 5 students
explaining a bee’s lifecycle, habitat and
working roles before joining with the rest of
the school to share the importance of bees in
the environment. Students were very
interested in the discussion and were each
thrilled to receive a sample pot of honey to
take home (not that many jars made it home
full!) On Friday Georgia, Jessica, Jackson and
Yousuf then travelled by bus to Forbes with
students from Monteagle Public and Young
Public School to attend the conference. The
day included listening to other schools
presentations, an aboriginal session with
students listening to didgeridoo music and
flying boomerangs, a visit from the Zoomobile
from Dubbo Zoo and presenting our media
presentation to the group. All students
enjoyed the experience and are looking
forward to creating their next project
together.

Friday 3rd June at 2:15pm. The assembly will

Library

library books each week. Children are

library books that they take home.
Meeting
Our next meeting will be held this Friday, 3rd
June at 9:15am.
