PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
An exciting start to Term 2
I sure everyone that has a Facebook account
and has liked the Tullamore Central School
page has been keeping track of the travels and
activities our students and Mr Nichols who are
in Gallipoli at the moment. I am sure this trip
has been very exciting and the experience of a
lifetime. It also has enabled our students to see
history in the flesh so to speak, and for
Hannah Walker who is currently studying both
Modern and Ancient History I am sure it will
add to her learning of these subjects. We wish
Kimberley, Morgan, Hannah, Harrison and Mr
Nichols a safe trip home, and no doubt we will
see a report from them in a later newsletter.
Departing Dubbo – Farewelled by
Deputy Premier Troy Grant
Tullamore Students at the replica
of the Trojan Horse
The Dawn Service at Gallipoli
Tullamore ANZAC Service
In the absence of our school captains who are
currently making their way back from
Gallipoli, our Primary Captains, Bailee-Jane
Merriman and Hamish Larkings did a fantastic
job of being representatives at our local
ANZAC Day service. This year saw the
official opening of new memorial gates at the
park. Thank you to all the students, teachers
and parents that attended and marched with
the school group. Students are to be
commended on their standard of dress and
their behaviour at the service.

Trivial Pursuit
On Saturday 1st August there is a Trivia and
games night planned as a fundraiser for our
P&C and school. Please save the date it is sure
to be a fun night!
Big Gig
Big Gig is on again for 2015. This year the
theme is Eye Spy so our Gig team are
swinging into action on script writing and will
soon be calling for auditions for key parts.
Don’t forget that there are many parts to Big
Gig – If you are not a performer there is back
stage, costuming and makeup, roadies (they do
all the heavy lifting!), props so I am sure there
will be a role for anyone that wants to have a
go. Don’t forget that we take this performance
on the road to both Trundle and Yeoval and
students have met lifelong friends from this
experience. Thankyou in advance to our P&C
who assist with catering on the night that we
host Big Gig. Further information will be in
the newsletter and sent home with students
once scripts and parts are organised.
