TRANSCRIPT
The Future is in Learning
Welcome to Week 9. It is really hard to believe that it is the second last week of Term 2!
Thank you to our students, staff and families for your understanding with the postponing of our carnival last Friday due to the wet weather. We had hoped that it would clear as there was very little rain forecast,
however, as we now know it didn’t. It teased at times to clear but then came back in. A big thank you to our canteen staff who, in a very short amount of time, packed up and set up back at school. We have rescheduled the carnival for next Tuesday, 22nd June. The heats that were run will stand as we were able to complete up to and including the 11 years 200m. There is a short turnaround time for the return of lunch orders for the carnival.
Last week I was contacted by the Broken Hill City Council in relation to parking at the K-2 end or our school. Since the road works were completed at the intersection of Iodide and Morgan Streets, new signage has been installed and different conditions are now in place. Please ensure that when parking that you follow the directions of the signs. Council have been and will continue monitoring the situation and giving out fines. Their main concerns were cars parking between the crossing and the corner of Morgan Street and Iodide Street on the school side and cars parking too close to the corner on Morgan Street. Thank you for your assistance with following the parking expectations.
Last Friday was the last day for our Primary Health Care Nurse, Karen Harding-Smith. Karen was successful in winning a similar position on the South Coast. Karen and her family will relocate this week. Health are currently going through recruitment for the position, in the interim we will be supported by Jen Wellington. Jen currently works across three other schools in Broken Hill. Welcome Jen!
For the next two weeks we will have Miss Sarah Hampshire who will be completing her first teaching practicum with us. The focus of Sarah’s placement will be on observation. We know that everyone will make her feel welcome. Have a wonderful week of learning!
Thought for the Week: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

On Thursday the Years 3 - 6 competed in the shot put, discus and high jump events. It was
great to see so many students having a go, despite the wind, cold conditions.
On Friday we started
the track events at
Picton Oval. It was cold
and drizzly and in the
end the decision was
made to postpone the
rest of the events until

were lots of students
who turned up ready to

were all rugged up!
