Principal’s Note
Grandparents Day
How wonderful it was to see so many grandparents
and community friends join us for Grandparents Day.
This gave our school community the opportunity to
celebrate the role grandparents and older people play
in our society. To thank them for their ongoing support
and everything they do for us. The students and staff
loved having everyone here to share in the students’
learning and love for their grandparents.
Congratulations to everyone who made this a special
day. There are some lovely photos of the day included
in this edition of the newsletter. Congratulations to
Faye Law, Noah Haisell and Michael Southam who
were the winners of our P & C Raffle. Our P & C
committee would like thank everyone for their
contributions on the day.
Wheelchair Roadshow
The roadshow raises awareness of wheelchair sport,
creates a greater understanding of students with
disabilities, and encourages acceptance and
integration. Last Friday the Roadshow made a visit to
Junee Public School and our students had the
opportunity to participate in a game of wheelchair
basketball. Thank you to Wheelchair Sports NSW for
providing such an informative and enjoyable learning
experience for our children.

Musica Viva
On Monday we had the pleasure of hosting our local
schools Illabo Public School, Eurongilly Public School
and Junee Preschool for a very entertaining
performance by Musica Viva. There is nothing like the
excitement and power of a live performance and we
were so fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy the
music of acclaimed performers in our school. The
drumming rumbled loudly in the hall and out into the
COLA and the music could be heard clearly by our
office staff, they were bopping away in their seats. All
our students and guests had a great time as well.
Canteen News
Last term our school was assessed against the five
focus areas of the NSW Healthy School Canteen
Strategy food and drink criteria. At the P & C meeting
Barb McLean tabled the full report provided from the
assessment. Our school met three of the five focus
areas. We are working towards achieving the other
focus areas and with more changes to our menu in the
not too distant future, this goal is very achievable. If
you would like to see a copy of the report or have
some suggestion for healthy choices in our canteen,
please don’t hesitate to contact me.
P & C News
On Monday evening our P & C committee met at the
school. There were many items discussed on the night
but there is one discussion point I would like to
address. It was decided at the meeting, with several of
our executive resigning after this year that all vacant
executive positions would be filled at the one time in
the AGM meeting next year. A date for that will be
forthcoming. If we can’t fill the executive positions our
P & C will fold. If you can afford to volunteer some of
your time and would like to join our P &C committee
or nominate for an executive position we would love to
have you come along and be part of our great team. I
can guarantee there is never a dull meeting and if the
last one is anything to go by, we enjoy a good laugh
too. We hope to see many new faces next year and
have some exciting things planned.

Pedestrian Crossing
This week it was raised by several concerned parents,
the poor state of our pedestrian crossing. The crossing
is very faded and hard to see and motorists often drive
through it. This issue has been reported to the Junee
Shire Council by several community members and
myself. They have assured me that the crossing has
been job listed for repainting. I will inform you of the
progress of this matter and in the meantime, please be
cautious. Look before crossing and wait for cars to stop
before stepping out onto the road.
Year 6 Farewell Dinner
With the support of our P & C committee it had been
decided that this year the Year 6 fare well dinner will
be hosted off site. We are currently in the process of
obtaining quotes through local venues to cater and
host the evening. We have chosen the evening of
Tuesday 18th
December and invitations and more
information will follow shortly.
Proud and Deadly Awards
Last week, some of our students would have received
invitations to attend the Proud and Deadly Awards.
These awards are presented in partnership between
the Department of Education and local and Riverina
Regional Aboriginal Education Consultative Group
(AECG) in celebration and recognition of the
achievement and excellence of Aboriginal students
from Kindergarten to Year 12 in Public Education. This
year the award ceremony is being hosted at the Wagga
Wagga Commercial Club on Thursday 15th
November.
Students are to attend using private transport and
parents are encouraged to come and watch their child
receive their prestigious awards. If you are unable to
attend and your child requires transport to the event
please contact the school as soon as possible.
Enjoy the remainder of your week.
Kind regards,
Tracy Delaney
Our PBL focus has been Follow Instructions. Although
we have taught this focus many times our data
indicates that students need reminding and prompting
to follow instructions. Our focus for the next two weeks
is Be Resilient. During this time of the year students
are asked to step out of their comfort zones and
extend themselves during class assessments and end
of year activities. Resilience is not only a habit for
learning but also one which students will draw on in
the playground, on the playing field and at home.
Resilient students are better able to cope with changes
to routines, meeting high expectations and the
changes a new year will bring.
News from the Classroom
Welcome back to Guguburra as we head into our final
term.
All the students have been hard at work, finishing off
final assessments for reporting. I commend the efforts
of the whole class whom have been settled with a
positive attitude towards all tasks. This has certainly
been a great start to our last term for 2018, with a
bigger and brighter 2019 just around the corner.
In Literacy, students have been focusing on building
their writing skills and knowledge of sentence features
to develop more complex narrative texts. To
complement their efforts, students are also beginning
to look closely at information texts. Students have
been enjoying learning about penguins and other
animals from the Antarctic as their writing focus. It has
been wonderful to see the progress that students have
made over the past weeks, all showing great pride in
their work.
In Mathematics students have been applying their
knowledge of additive strategies to understand the
inverse relationship with subtraction. During activities
students have enjoyed using their familiarity of place
value to assist them in furthering their skills.
Continuing on from Term 3, students are working on
their timetables with increasing fluency. In the coming
weeks student will be investigating Money, Time and
Measurement.

During Geography lessons students are investigating
the Riverina and the landscape of the region. Students
have been looking at the land features and major
infrastructure that make up our local district. This has
inspired some great discussion and interest during
learning, as students are able to relate to their personal
experience.
With so many exciting things happening in this term,
students have already been involved in Grandparents
Day, Musica Viva and for Year 3 the Stage 2
excursion. For students in Year 3, the trip to Canberra
was an exciting and fun packed day with the zoo the stand out attraction.
The Sports Report (by Mr Cox)
Congratulations to Bailey Whitton who represented
Riverina at the NSW State Athletics Carnival. Bailey
placed 1st in his category for shot put and 16th overall.
He placed 19th in discus and in a NSWPSSA first,
completed the 100m using a race runner.
Congratulations to Bailey for his wonderful
achievements in Athletics this year and to all students
who have competed throughout all PSSA activities. We
are looking forward to big things from Junee Public
School next year!
