The Weilmoringle Word
Weilmoringle Students Swim like fish! On the day of the swimming
carnival it was an early start but
everybody was excited. Most
students went in freestyle,
breaststroke, backstroke and the
relay. Rebecca also went in the
butterfly. Everyone enjoyed
themselves and tried their very
best. At the end of the day
everyone had at least one ribbon.
The senior students went on to
Bourke for the District Swimming
Carnival. Those who entered the
novelty events had lots of fun and
everyone (including adults) was
exhausted at the end of the day.
Thanks to parents and teachers who
helped transport students to Bourke
and cheered us on.
Water wonders in Science
Water is crucial to life and obviously out here it’s even
more important than in other places. Our Science Unit is
looking at water. We are exploring floating and sinking,
sources of water, what we use water for, access to water
and the differences in fresh, salty, muddy, grey, running
and still water. We are doing a series of experiments and
will also visit the river, talk about bores and investigate
what makes water good for drinking. Students are also
investigating how people in cities get their water.

One benefit of using your

Some of our students enjoying a sausage sizzle to celebrate the first week
back at school!
After only a few short weeks I feel
incredibly at home. The children are
charming, the families have been welcoming
and the staff have made me feel like I’ve been here forever! I want to thank you all
for the wonderful Weilmoringle welcome. Already I’ve been down to the river, to
church in the shed, back and forward to visit families in their homes and of course
regularly to the shop to pick up a cold drink or something I’ve forgotten. It’s a far cry
from the inner west of Sydney in the heart of Canterbury with shops and restaurants
on every corner and over 320 students at school—but I’m loving it. I love that I
already know all the children and many of the families. Their enthusiasm for learning
and willingness to give new things a go makes them a delight to teach. If I haven’t
met you yet I’m sure I will over the next few weeks. Feel free to call me and make a time to come by for a chat. If you prefer email mine is
[email protected] and I check it at least 3 times a day.
Thank you also to those family members who made it to assembly and/or the welcome BBQ. We will have another BBQ soon. It was
World Read Aloud Day last week so why not take the time to sit with your child, niece, nephew or grandchild and read them a story this
week, or ask them to read to you. The 13th February was the ninth anniversary of The Apology to the Stolen Generation and at school we
talked about what it means to say Sorry and why this was important. You may already have noticed a few changes including the slightly
shorter break times and the children have probably told you how hard I’m making them work. It is my privilege and obligation to help
your child get the best possible education and it is my expectation that we will all work together—students, staff and families to achieve
this.
Finally, I know you will all be pleased to hear that the 2016 reports have finally arrived. Please make a time to meet for your Personalised
Learning Plan Review meeting on Tuesday or Wednesday this week and we will go through the report at that time. Thank you again for
making me so welcome I look forward to working with you as we encourage Weilmoringle students to Strive for Success!
The Final Word!
More of our students hanging around at
home!
