School News

Message from the Principal Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Our ‘mantra’ or key words at BCS are RESPECT, QUALITY,

PARTICIPATION & SAFETY. They underpin the

expectations and values BCS staff teach to our students

whether they are in Kinder or Year 12. We acknowledge

and celebrate students when they act positively and we

support them when they make mistakes. This newsletter is

just one source of acknowledging out students growth and

achievement.

The school has a new School Plan for 2018 -2020 that has

been developed to meet the needs of the school at this

point in time. Our vision statement in the plan reflects this

focus:

Baradine Central School will provide inclusive and

quality 21st century learning experiences in a safe

and respectful environment. Students and

staff will be encouraged and supported to achieve

success through attaining educational outcomes.

NAPLAN

This week is a big week for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9

who have NAPLAN tests to sit on Tuesday, Wednesday and

Thursday. NAPLAN is a process the Federal Government

uses to collect data on educational standards across the

country.

Schools use the NAPLAN data to inform planning at both

individual students level and at cohort levels. At BCS, staff

access NAPLAN data to monitor student growth in the

NAPLAN tests each two years.

Parents receive a NAPLAN report for their child that clearly

demonstrates the student’s performance in the test

against other students performance in the same grade at

both the school and nationally. The report will be sent to

you in September.

Young Leaders of the West

Congratulations to primary leaders Jorja Carey and Claudia

McConnaughty, for their outstanding participation in the

Young Leaders of the West camp last week and to Richie

Milgate for his participation as a presenter. Our new

Director, Mr Chris Shaw, also visited and commented on

what a great opportunity and quality program it is for

young leaders.

The event was conducted at the Warrumbungles Education

Centre.

Dubbo Show

Congratulations to the Sheep Show Team – Nariah, Molly,

Halle, Bradley and Jordy for their successes with the sheep

at Dubbo Show over the weekend. The awful weather was

not a deterrent for these enthusiastic students who

represented our school with outstanding teamwork.

P&C Meeting

The next P&C meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday 29th

May.

Great Barrier Reef Excursion

Aboriginal culture.

Year 5/6 Botanic Garden

On Tuesday Peter and Brendon from the Botanical Garden in

Sydney returned to Baradine Central School to help Year 5/6

create their garden to attract the vulnerable Flame Robin to

our school. The students planted a wide variety of native

plants which would entice insects to the garden for the

Flame Robin and other small native birds to feed on. Peter

and Brendon then spent time looking at the information

poster about the Flame Robin that the class created. The

botanist were very impressed with the high quality

information included in these posters.

Peachy Shield/Richardson Cup

& Netball Gala Day

On Tuesday 8th May, students in Year 4-6 participated in a

rugby league and netball gala day at the Coonamble netball

and football grounds. Students had a great day and

represented our school with pride.

The football boys tried their best in all of their games.

The Year 4 boys were successful in reaching the finals with

students from Gulargambone.

The netball girls were lucky enough to have four students

from St Lawrence’s join our netball team for the day.

A big thank you to Richie for accompanying us and

congratulations to all students involved on your positive

behaviour.
