PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Welcome back students, staff and families. We look
forward to another fantastic school year.
Swimming Carnival Congratulations to all participants in last week’s

enthusiasm and behaviour was excellent on the day.
A big thank you to Mrs Hinchley for her
organisation and running of the carnival, it ran like
clockwork as always. Well done!
Year Advisor Last year teachers were asked to nominate their
interest for the year advisor position in secondary.
Congratulations to Mr Knight who was successful
in his application.
Welcome Welcome to our new staff and students for 2020. It
is fabulous to see so many new faces in our
playground and we know you will find a welcoming
community at Tullamore Central School.
House Captains Congratulations to Macquarie captains Beau
McMahon, Imogen Williams, Charlie Harvey and
Ava Curr. Lachlan captains Ellie Williams, Riley
Horsburgh, Mackenzie Horsburgh and Jeffrey

representing them to the best of your ability this
year.

Access Program camp later this week. Thank you to
those who have their notes in on time. Please make
sure that you are organised and at school on time for
departure to camp.

PRIMARY PIECES
Welcome back everyone, and a special welcome to
all our new students and families. We are looking
forward to a great year. Please remember to read the
newsletter each week and ‘like’ and ‘follow’ our
Facebook page, lots of important information is
shared this way.
PRIMARY ASSEMBLY
The Primary Assemblies will be held on Wednesday
afternoons this year. They will be at 2:30pm and
usually in the K/1/2 room. Each term each class will
host an assembly. Dates for this term will be
confirmed very soon.
K/1/2 News Hi everyone – welcome back. I am looking forward
to another busy and great year. Today a note
regarding class organisation was given to your
children, please check their bags for this. A day for
our Library borrowing is to be confirmed, please
stay tuned!
Homework was sent home with Years 1 and 2
yesterday – spelling and reading. Please return
spelling homework on Friday and readers daily for
changing. Kindergarten will take home their sounds
book this week also.
Have a great week and please contact the school if
you have any questions.

Donna -lee Horsburgh
K/1/2 Classroom Teacher
Year 3/4
Welcome back everyone, to what is going to be a
very busy school term.
This week the students will have spelling homework
and their 2 x tables. I am a strong believer in the
importance of learning times tables facts. Please
encourage your child to learn these and test them at
home. A times table chart at home would be very
beneficial, especially for the Year 3 students. It
TERM 1 2020– WEEK 3
Page | 3
would be great if you could cover your child’s
homework book to protect it and help keep the
cover on. Homework is due on Fridays.
We will start Mathletics activities next week.
Please ensure your child is reading for at least 10
minutes each night. This can be completed together
with a shared book at home or by listening to your
child read aloud. Students have borrowed from the
library and should have a book that they have taken
home. If your child has books at home that they like
to read this is fine as long as they are reading!
A class note and timetable will be sent home later in
the week.
Communication is very important, please contact
me at school if you have any concerns or questions.
Kind Regards
Belinda Lindsay
Year 3/4 Classroom Teacher

SECONDARY NEWS
Welcome to Week 3.
It has been a hectic start to the term already for our
students, with settling in to new timetables and for
Year 11 starting a whole new way of studying. Our
HSC students are getting back into routine and
starting on the new terms work.
Western Access Program Camp 2020
On Wednesday morning we head off to Access
Camp at Burrendong. Students attending for the full
duration will be departing Tullamore Central School
at 6:30am on Wednesday morning. If students could
be ready at the front of the school at 6:15am to pack
the bus so that we can depart on time. Any students
that need to be picked up along the Narromine Road
need to let Miss Shankelton know and we will
organise pick up sites and times with you. Students
have received a camp pack on Thursday last week
which has their packing lists and also their camp
timetables. Students will return via bus with Mrs
Hinchley on Friday and it is anticipated they will
return by 3:00pm. We look forward to a fabulous
camp with Year 11 students getting to meet their
teachers and class mates for the first time and Year
12 working towards their HSC with their course
coordinators.
Shoe Reminder
Just a reminder to secondary students that you need
to ensure that you have enclosed leather shoes for
science and technology subjects. This is a WHS
requirement. Students are encouraged to wear their
correct shoes to school and bring their joggers for
when they have PE. For students studying
Agriculture and Primary Industries in stage 4 – 6
students need to ensure that they also have a hat for
practical lessons.
Writing in Secondary
Students in secondary will be focusing on
improving their writing this year. Data from our
PAT results, Minimum Standards testing and
NAPLAN indicate that this is an area where our
students need extension. Staff are receiving training
in teaching subject specific writing skills and Mr
Knight and Miss Shankelton will be leading the
implementation of the program. This project also
ties in with the Year 7 Best Start Writing Pilot that
all Year 7 students will be participating in. Staff
will be completing further training in analysing
writing scripts to see where students are currently at
on the literacy progressions and what is needed to
move them forward as the year progresses. At times
students will need to complete writing tasks at home
as homework and we are looking at running a
session with secondary parents about helping their
students with writing skills later in the term on a
date to be advised.

Thank You
Thank you to our students who have made a
positive start to the year. I have heard from several
staff about the fantastic attitude to learning that
students have shown. Keep up the great work
everyone!
Natasha Shankelton
Head Teacher Secondary Studies
AGRICULTURE IN ACTION
What a beautiful start to the term with 60mm of
rain!! Hopefully our vegetable plots will be back up
and producing soon, along with our student’s crop
trials using blue popping corn. The hot house will
be planted out with tomatoes this year, which means
there will be some beautiful fresh tomatoes
available later in the term. Please watch this space
for produce available for purchase.
Wanted – Cans & Bottles
As part of our fundraising for the Agriculture
program we will be collecting the 10c return cans
and bottles. No need to sort them as we will do
this!! Cans and bottles can be dropped in to the Ag
plot area where there are two bins labelled Cans and
Plastic Bottles and Glass Bottles.
Show Team Practices
Permission notes will go out next week for students
in the junior and senior show squads. The first show
for 2020 is Bathurst Royal Show, which will be in
the April school holidays. Information about this
will go out soon for senior squad.
Return of Tully’s Cackleberries
Our eggs will be back in production later in the
year. Our old girls have been sent to the chook
retirement home, where if they only produce an egg
a week it is not an issue. All of our girls were five
years old which is generally the end of a productive
life of a laying chook. They are currently living out
the rest of their days happy in a veggie patch and
orchard and their only job is to keep the bugs down.
Stage 5 will be completing a poultry unit later in the
year and they will be working with our new chooks
to produce quality eggs for sale.

Agriculture Teacher
SPORT
Please refer to Term at a Glance for upcoming
sporting events.
Swimming Carnival 2020
Thank you to all the students, parents, staff and
community members that came along to support our
swimming carnival. It was a fantastic day with the
students proving to be super fish in the pool. It was
pleasing to see so many students get involved in so
many events. I was even more excited to see
students racing for the very first time.
Congratulations must go to the parents for winning
the staff v parent v student relay. Thank you to
those parents who put their hand up and
participated. It always makes for a great finish to
the day and having new faces in this event is
certainly welcome! Every year I say this but I am so
proud of our students and how much effort they put
in. Well done to everyone who came along.
This year was another close call for the house
champion trophy which went to LACHLAN. There
was not much in it so the difference will come into
play if Macquarie can get one back at either the
Cross Country or athletics carnival. We also had
one record broken on the day by Paris Curr breaking
the 25m Freestyle. A fantastic effort!!
The following students gained age champion in
their division:
Junior Primary – Kharliah Parry,
Tristan Laing
11yr Primary – Imogen Williams,
Clyde Carey
Senior Primary – Lara Powell,
Riley Horsburgh
Junior Secondary – Ava Curr, Jack Bye
Senior Secondary – Charlotte Darcy,
William McLean
Thank you also to Leanne, Lachlan and Michelle for
all the work they do to ensure the carnival is a
success. It is always very much appreciated!

District Swimming
Primary students who have qualified for the district
swimming carnival were handed out permission
notes yesterday. Please ensure these are returned to
the office as soon as possible. Please note that
students will pay their entry money on the day, so
this does not need to come into the office.
Pool Sport
Primary (years 3-6) and secondary students will be
back at the pool this week for sport. Students have
been handed permission notes and these are
requested to be returned to the office as soon as
possible. On sport days please ensure that you bring
your swimmers, towel, sunscreen and hat.
Cassie Hinchley
Sports Coordinator
A BIG welcome back to all of our wonderful
students! We are looking forward to another
exciting year and encourage students to have a
labelled library bag ready for class borrowing.
Students are welcome to visit the library at
lunchtime to escape the hot weather and read,
colour in, play games and use the computers.
All students using the library are reminded to be
respectful and responsible with equipment as well
as being cooperative and honest to others as we
sometimes have many students in the library.
A few reminders
* The library is a drink and food free zone.
* The library is open at lunch on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Have a lovely week
