Parent Teacher Interviews Parents will receive a note inviting them to select a time for their opportunity to speak with teachers about the progress of their children. As parents will have just received reports, it is the perfect time to ask questions and discuss the creation of new learning goals for your child. Don’t forget to return your note to book your time. NAIDOC Celebrations Next week we will be hosting the NAIDOC celebrations with a big line-up of activities organised by our Aboriginal Education Team. An invitation to parents and community is included with this bulletin. Part of our celebrations will be our NAIDOC Assembly on Thursday 27th June which will conclude with the opening of our memorial for Aunty Louise at the front of our Community Hubb Ngurang Yindymarra where our Bro Speak boys along with Peter Little have been busy constructing a native garden and artist Tyronne Hoerler has painted tribal poles naming the area “Aunty Louise’s Yarnin’ Place”. CHORDS Cluster Rehearsal On Wednesday our primary choir will travel to Turvey Park Public School to take part in a combined school’s rehearsal for the Choral and Dance Spectacular- CHORDS performance to be held in Term 4 at the Civic Theatre Wagga. This event only happens every second year and will be our students time to shine on stage as they sing and dance their way through fifteen songs. Set aside Monday 28 October to be part of the audience! Celebrating Fantastic Effort In week 10’s Monday morning assembly, we will be acknowledging a number of successes achieved by our students, including 100% Attendance as well as silver and bronze levels. There are so many different ways that children can be their best at Ashmont Public School. Diana McGregor Principal

Ashmont Public School

On Friday 31st of May, a group of cross country athletes left

school bright and early to compete against many other school from Wagga in the PSSA Cross Country Carnival at Ladysmith.

The students did Ashmont proud, competing the course with a smile on their faces and encouraging words to fellow

competitors. Well done everyone!

Year 5 & 6 Team Building session Last week Mount Austin Clontarf boys came to visit APS to facilitate a sporting and team building session with our Year 5 & 6 boys. This forms part of our extended transition to High school program. Students participated in football drills.

Tug-o-war and a touch game. Students were very active and built peer relationships with the high school students. Thank you to Pat Edmunds and Nathan Rose from Mount Austin High for this experience.

Dance Workshops Last Friday Jarryd Bryne from Dancing with the Stars facilitated hip hop workshops for all students.

Student’s from K-6 learnt a choreographed dance, sequenced dance moves together and performed what they had learnt so far. Students thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Family and community members will be able to see our hip

hop dancing later on in the year. These are wonderful experiences that Ashmont Public School offers all students.
