PRINCIPAL’S REPORT:
Welcome back to a new year at Yeoval Central School. I am very excited to be working again and am appreciative of the efforts of Mr Olsson, the staff, students and P&C over the last twelve months. This year, I will be job sharing with Mr Olsson. I will work Mon-Wed, whilst Mr Olsson will be the relieving Principal on Thur-Fri. Mr McLaurin will be the relieving Head Teacher and has administrative roles over the week. Mr Wright and Mrs Klein continue in their roles as Head Teacher and Assistant Principal. I am available at all times via phone or email.
Congratulations to our new School Captains: Joshua Fitzgerald, Ethan Monk, Zali Wakely and Douglas Philipson, and House Captains: Macarthur: Hannah Vickers, Kailee Hoswell Parsons, Phoenix Blatch, Carleigh Baker Farrer: Billy Kramer, Josie Lees, Paul McClure, Zali Wakely Paterson: Mackenzie Tremain, Will Cannon, Douglas Philipson, Jayden Fox.

We also welcome our new temporary staff: Ms Katrina Brown (replacing Mr Coote who is working in Bathurst), Ms Natasha Freeth (replacing Ms Fiona Kerin who has taken the year off to continue her studies), Ms Gemma Loud (replacing Ms Border who has moved to the ACT), Mr Carl Thorne (replacing Mr Ellis who was successful in a Head Teacher Mathematics position at Wollumbin HS) and Mr James Peter as Head Teacher Access (replacing Ms Williams who is on maternity leave this year). All teaching and non-teaching staff worked last Wednesday to continue their professional learning in Child Protection mandatory training and faculty planning.
Congratulations to Jock and Belinda McLaurin who were married in the holidays. Exciting news for Crystal Williams who had a baby girl and Lacinda Christie who had a baby boy. We wish their new families the very best.
I look forward to working with you and your children, ensuring our staff provide them with the opportunities that will continue to develop their educational, sporting and cultural experiences. I encourage you to contact the school to discuss any matter at your earliest convenience to guarantee a successful outcome for all. Please cooperate with us by applying the high standards we set for your children at school in relation to their effort, preparation, uniform, conduct and respect for others.
Our first P&C meeting for the year will be on Tuesday 9 February at 6pm at the school. I encourage existing and new families to attend.

ROAD SAFETY AROUND OUR SCHOOL
We ask that all parents are mindful of the road rules that apply during the School Term around our school. A brief description from the RMS follows: SCHOOL ZONE: A school zone is the area around a school with a speed limit of 40 km/h. Between the 'SCHOOL ZONE' and 'END SCHOOL ZONE' signs you must obey the school zone speed limit. The school zone limit only applies on gazetted school days and during the times shown on the sign SCHOOL BUS ZONE: Be particularly careful when passing stationary buses from 7am–9.30am and 2.30–5pm. This is when children are travelling to and from school. When buses are dropping off or picking up school children their headlights will also flash. Be careful when approaching a bus with flashing headlights as there may be children crossing or about to cross the road. Please do not park, drop off or collect children in the school bus area.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS
Parents are reminded that all students are to come to school in full school uniform. If your child is out of uniform for any reason, they are to bring a note of explanation to school. The school uniform is as follows:
*Dark navy/gold polo with emblem in gold *Dark navy bottoms (shorts, pants, track pants, skirt or skort—jeans and leggings are not acceptable) *Dark navy fleecy jumper or hoody with emblem in gold *Dark navy school hat (Bucket or Cap options) with emblem in gold *White socks or black stockings. Black socks are not acceptable *Black enclosed shoe, leather is recommended
