PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

It’s great to be back

It was fantastic to be back at school yesterday after

some long service leave and to see our respectful,

responsible, cooperative and honest students again.

Thank you to all of our staff for their efforts over

the past 2 weeks, there were lots of great events and

achievements, which I enjoyed seeing on our

Facebook page. Thank you to Miss Shankelton and

Mrs Lindsay who relieved in higher duties during

my absence, much appreciated.

I had a very refreshing time including dragging

myself around the Melbourne Marathon and visiting

the Great Ocean Road. The 12 Apostles should be

on every Australian’s “to-do” list it is a truly

spectacular part of our beautiful country.

Please indulge me the photo, that medal hurt !

2018 planning

Thank you to Mrs Lindsay who coordinated the

subject selection process during my absence. Most

students will get their chosen preferences however

additional interviews will be conducted with

individual students this week as we finalise what we

can run with. I am very pleased with the range of

electives and extra curricular “clubs” which we

were able to offer and I thank our staff for their

support and commitment to this process.

Secondary Excursion Update

Please keep those payments coming in for the

excursion. If students have lost their payment note

they need to see Miss Shankelton ASAP to receive

another. The medical note and final payment advice

RYCAGS Camp 2017

Last week, five students from Year 9/10 attended

the annual RYCAGs camp in Narromine, hosted by

the Narromine Rotary Club. This camp gives

students a valuable insight into the careers

associated with Agriculture, along with seeing

different farming systems in action. Two of our

students in the group, Amie and Sam attended the

2016 camp and were present this year as group

leaders. Congratulations to Angus, Mikala, Lachlan,

Sam and Amie who represented Tullamore Central

School with pride and once again it was fantastic to

receive outstanding feedback from the camp

organisers about our students.

7-10 Examinations

Students in Years 7-10 will have their examinations

from Monday – Thursday of Week 6 this term.

They will receive their examination timetable this

week via email and in hard copy format. Students

should begin to ask their teachers questions about

what they should be revising for their exams.

Year 8 VALID Science

Letters were sent home to parents last week about

the upcoming Year 8 VALID online science

examination. For students at Tullamore this will be

held Monday Week 5 during the Year 8 Agriculture

lesson. Students need to bring a set of earphones

with them if possible so that they can complete the

exam.

Have a great Week!

Miss Natasha Shankelton

Head Teacher Secondary Studies

AGRICULTURE IN ACTION

Students in Year 9/10 Agriculture will have

practical lessons on Friday Week 4 and Tuesday

Week 5. Students are asked to bring a work shirt,

hat and their enclosed leather shoes as we will be

doing some construction works at the ag block and

cleaning troughs. Please ensure that you have these

available as the work we are doing is dirty and I

would not like to see the white shirts that students

wear go home filthy as a result of the jobs that are

being done.
