Principal’s
Message
This week we are hosting our local state member
of parliament Philip Donato on Tuesday. Super 8’s
Cricket will be on Wednesday.
Last week, we had the privilege of hosting the
Deputy Prime Minister Mr Michael McCormack.
Mr McCormack spoke to students on assembly. I
thank Mr McCormack for making himself available
to our community. On Tuesday, our state
member Mr Phil Donato will visit to talk to
students and the community about issues within
his electorate. Members of parliament are paid to
serve the public. Therefore we are all entitled to
question their performance just as they are
entitled to question mine. I thank both members
for making themselves available.
Opportunities for employment for our students, I
believe, are affected by location and the cost of
travel. Consider the financial disadvantage our
students have if they gain employment in Parkes
but choose to live in Trundle. Six hundred
kilometres a week on an apprentices wage. This is
something I will be taking up with Mr Donato.
In some wonderful news, the P&C under the
expert guidance of Ms Hazel Walton has been
successful in securing a $60,000 grant for our new
bus. This will mean the school will have two buses
with a combined capacity of 35 seats. This will
significantly reduce the cost of excursions and
open up opportunities. I am hoping our existing 11
seat bus will serve us for another two years and
then we may be in a position to apply for a grant
to update it. Through our fundraising, the new 24
seat bus with all the extra tow bar, roo bar and
cocktail bar only cost the school $5000.
This week, our replacement computers will arrive.
This is enough to completely replace one
computer lab. In the 2020 school budget, I have
allocated funds to replace the other computer lab.
This will mean, by the end of first term, the school
will have all the latest computers giving our
students access to the best available in NSW
government schools. When I think of
infrastructure, I ask myself the question. If we
cannot afford the best available, is this the best we
can afford? I refuse to have our students sitting in
hot uncomfortable classrooms or using old
computers.
Many people have commented on how good the
school grounds are at this time. This is because of
the hard work and knowledge of Richard Grady.
This school has made considerable effort over the
last 5 years to improve the appearance and
comfort of this school, as well as improve facilities. The reason is simple. There is a
mountain of research that indicates student effort,
behaviour and well-being are positively enhanced
by the physical environment in which they learn.
Research also indicates that the appearance of the
school is one of the cheapest and most sustainable
ways of improving school spirit. I am one of the
best spenders of other people’s money on the
planet but I also read research into how students
learn or behave.
Last week, our school hosted ZDF Television
from Germany. These people were making a short
documentary on the difference between farm lives
in Germany compared to the Central West. I
thank the Randall and Charlton families for hosting
this crew. Australia was shown off at its finest to
these visitors with the exception of the thousands
of little black flies that are currently sticking to
every part of people’s faces. The school has
recently purchased a fly net for every student to
help make the playground a little more bearable.
The installation of our new air-conditioning is well
ahead of schedule. In my 28 years of being
involved with schools, I have never seen a more
professional company. Every person working for
this company is professional and dedicated to
completing the project on time and to a high
standard. I would also like to pay tribute to our staff and students as well. They have coped with
the disruption and noise without any complaints.
At least not to me anyway.
Guitar lessons are not part of the compulsory
curriculum.

Guitar lessons are not part of the compulsory
curriculum. The school heavily subsidises these
lessons and as a result, only asks parents to pay $15
per term. This is less than the cost of a single
lesson in town. Unfortunately, if outstanding fees
are not paid I will be forced to remove children
from the program. I hate doing this because
children are suffering not the person responsible
for the fee, parents.
Last week, there was a very minor incident outside
the school involving a member of the public. Our
school practices for such incidents and our
procedures worked perfectly.
Happiest man in Trundle

Kindergarten/Year 7 Transition This week will be the second week of
Kindergarten/Year 7 Transition sessions that will
run throughout the term.
This year the sessions will run from 8:55 – 11:30
for Preschoolers – Year 6.
This will allow the Pre-schoolers and Year 6 to
engage in some fantastic activities to ensure the
transition from both Preschool and Primary School
is a smooth and enjoyable experience.
All classes in primary will be moving up into the
next group for these sessions. It is a great way for
the students to practise being in a new class.
Sun Safe Policy This term is a No Hat No Play term. Students
MUST wear a wide brimmed hat. This means that if
they do not have a hat, they cannot participate in
any outdoor activities including lunch time play. We
keep a small selection of spare hats for those
students who accidently forget their hats. These
hats are washed regularly but are not to be used
every day by the same students. We will endeavour
to call parents to let them know their child has
forgotten their hat so that it can be found. Please
make sure you put your child’s name inside their hat.
Swimming For Sport Friday the 8th November will be our first swimming
for sport. We are reducing the size of our groups
by sending one group to the pool at 1:00pm. This
group will return to school at 2pm, have lunch and
return to class for half an hour.
Notes were sent home last week. Please return the
signed permission notes as soon as possible.
The second group will walk to the pool as per usual
and can be picked up at 3pm at the pool. Alternatively, if your child catches a bus home, they
will be picked up at the pool.
Please check your child’s note carefully. If there are
any changes to your child’s afternoon arrangements
during the swimming season, please call the front
office on 68921303.
Year 3-6 Excursion to Canberra All the arrangements for our Year 3-6 excursion to
Canberra on the 13th November are being finalised
over the next week.
The final payment for our Canberra excursion is
due as soon as possible.
There will be an invite to an information session
sent out this week. This information session will
provide the students and parents with a detailed
itinerary and provide all information regarding the
excursion.

Secondary
The last few week has been a little disrupted with
the new air conditioners being installed. However,
as always our students’ ability and willingness to
apply themselves to any situation and overcome
distractions so they can continue to learn has been
outstanding. Also as a very hot summer fast
approaches [is there any other kind in Australia?]
our little bit of pain will make for a big gain as we
will be learning in comfortable conditions no
matter what the weather!
Friday afternoon our assembly for Term 3
celebrated the many successes our students
achieved. As usual the number of students receiving Bronze and Silver awards was an
extremely pleasing acknowledgement on how well
our students are working at school. I would
particularly like to acknowledge Monique Morgan
and Nick Williams of the attainment of their Gold
Awards. To achieve this a student needs to be
consistently contributing to the positive culture of
our school as well as gaining many individual
awards. Well done! Thanks to Miss Rowlands for
her ongoing organisation of our welfare system.
Continuing in this light, this Thursday our Level 6
students will be in mufti as an award. Also today a
large number of students will be receiving and ice
block as acknowledgement of their attainment of
the higher levels of our system. Again our students
need to be congratulated for their ongoing
excellent behaviour.
Mrs Gray will be away for the next 3 weeks. Miss
Emily Price will be filling in for Mrs Gray and we
welcome her to our school.
On Wednesday we have our students participating
in Super 8’s Cricket. As usual we look forward to
hearing all about our students’ efforts and
achievements. Thanks to Mrs Morgan for her
organisation and Mr Southon and Miss Rowlands
for helping with supervision and transport on the
day.
Wednesday also sees the second day of transition.
Congratulations to our 2020 Year 7 cohort on the
start they made last week and also to the rest of
secondary for their mature and helpful approach to
the new secondary students.
Next week our Year 11 students will be partaking
in this term’s study days. A note with all
information about next week will be sent home
today with Year 11.
Year 7-10 examinations will be held in Week 5 and
6. If your child needs any extra support from
school, please contact us.
As always if you have any questions in regards to
secondary please contact me at school.
Have a great week

Term 4 Week 3
Trundle Junior Cricket
On Saturday the Trundle Juniors travelled to
Condobolin to play their first game of the season
against the Gilgais. Trundle won the toss and
elected to field taking early wickets but a 70 run
partnership from the Gilgais helped them to post a
formidable score of 129 runs.
In reply Trundle batted well, however found
themselves needing 8 runs an over to reach the
target. With the return of the retirees to the
crease, Paddy Williams and Sam Charlton
combined in a blistering partnership to steal the
game with 3 balls to spare to give the Trundle
Juniors a great winning start to the season.
Runs for Trundle: Paddy Williams 50 NO, Sam
Charlton 16 NO, Jim Ramsay 9, Blair MacDonald 5.
Wickets for Trundle: Blair MacDonald 2, Charlie
Anderson 1, Kayden
Charlton-Little 1 and Josh Clayton 1
Catches for Trundle:
Paddy Williams 3
Fielding points went to
Paddy Williams 3, Charlie
Anderson 2 and Sam
Charlton 1
Game Ball went to Paddy
Williams for an
outstanding performance.
