Newsletter: Term 2 Week 2 (8/5/2018)

Dress to Impress Congratulations to the P&C for running such a

wonderful event on Saturday night. The organising

committee has certainly set a very high standard for

any future events! The event took a huge amount of

preparation, a lot of generosity from our community

and support from everyone who sold tickets across

town. The band kept everyone moving until the wee

hours and the best dressed Dazza and Chazza were

the talk of the night. With a little bit of canny

thinking as well as assistance of people who cleaned

up on Sunday meant the recycling of bottles and cans

produced 57 cartons of milk for the breakfast bar.

Well done to all and congratulations to all of the

auction winners.

THIS WEEK’S WHOLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLY WHO IS PRESENTING AN ITEM THIS WEEK? It is the turn of class 3/4M to perform or present

at this week’s whole-school assembly.

The weekly assembly will begin at 12:30pm on

Friday, and will be held in the school hall.


From The Principal Last week in assembly I announced that the skill I

will be learning this term is to master the Rubik’s

cube. It was difficult deciding from the list of

suggestions I received which skill to select, however

as I said in assembly, I have wanted to be able to

complete the cube since Primary school. I will

continue to investigate how to learn this new skill

and be sharing my progress each Friday in Assembly.

Thank you to Mrs Paton for lending me some small

cubes to use with children at recess.

Riverina Debating at DNPS

Yesterday we had participants from 8 schools across

our network take part in the debating skills

workshop. Mrs Hunter once again did a wonderful job

in producing a very rewarding day for students. The

adjudicators were extremely engaging and able to

ensure all students finished the day with improved

knowledge and skills in debating. Thank you also to

Maureen for her scone perfection once again.

A term of Fairy Tales Students in K/1TP and KHB are reading fairy tales

this term and I think they would like to find a golden

goose as a number of children seem s quite

impressed at their beans they have planted. I will

look forward to arriving at school one morning to see

a bean vine reaching through the clouds to the

Giant’s castle, as long as they share the golden eggs.

Fee fo fi fum I smell the blood of a K/1TP’um!
