2014 Lockhart Central School Leaders

As Year 12 finished their final week of schooling, sometimes in unusual attire, Year 11 readied

themselves to take over the school.

On the last day of Term 3, the new school captains were announced…

Congratulations to Sarah Pither and Aaron Finnen, who are our new Lockhart Central School

Captains and Mikala Shilo, our new Vice Captain.

Bike Week

On the last day of Term 3, nearly all of

primary rode their bikes to the football

grounds to celebrate bike week.

We got to ride around the oval and do heaps

of laps. Everyone had lots of fun - especially

me!

Lots of students decorated their bikes for the

day. If I was judging them I would have

picked Ruby Bouffler’s bike as the best. It

was cool. Ruby wore a cape with sunglasses

and her bike was covered in glitter and

jewels.

Transition Days

We are getting ready to welcome some new

people into Primary and Secondary next year

and are holding transition days at Lockhart

Central School to help students transition

successfully and stress free next year.

These days are specifically for 2014

Kindergarten, 2014 Year 7 and Secondary

Urana students.

These transition days will begin this week and

will be a weekly routine every Thursday.

The reason for the Secondary transition is

sadly, due to a number of reasons, the

Secondary section of Urana Central will be

closing in 2014 and Urana Central School will

become a primary school only.

However, that is good news for us at LCS as

we will get to make new friends! We can’t

wait to be able to permanently welcome these

people into our school next year!

Year 12 Farewell Assembly

Last term marked the end of our 2013 Year

12’s school days. It was hard to say goodbye

but thanks to our farewell assembly we now

have memories to remember of our Year

12’s. There were many speeches of how

great they all are and what great leaders they

have all become.

Mrs Morley and I designed a PowerPoint for

the occasion as well which included photo

memories of Year 12’s time at school (and

not just at Lockhart Central).

At the end of the assembly we farewelled our

2013 Year 12 for the last time. We wish them

luck as they head for an even bigger and

brighter future outside of school.

2013 HSC Exams

the next 4 weeks.

Greater Kengal Cricket Day

Last Friday, Holly Murphy, Ruby Bouffler,

Meg Chandler, Kirra Bennet, Eliza Chambers,

Alirah Lubb and Aloura Davey went to Yerong

Creek to participate in a Greater Kengal

Cricket Day.

When we arrived, we split up into groups. We

then got to play three games. The team I was

in won all three games! That meant that

Greater Kengal won the day and that we get

to go on and play in the Grand Final!

A great, big thankyou goes to Cheryl Farrall,

Cheryl Power, Gray McVean, Annie Alchin

to pay for some of our excursions.

and organising this fundraiser. Thank you to

everyone’s support.
