Principal’s Message
What a fantastic time we had during
Education Week. It was a week of
sharing and celebration and many
photos have already been published
on our school Facebook page. Thank
you to all involved in our Family Fun Day on the
Tuesday. Our organising committee led by Lenore and
her hard working team made the day extra special with
each student who
was there, receiving
a beautiful framed
photo as a
keepsake. Thanks
to all our parents,
carers and wider
school community members who came along to enjoy
the event, experience farm themed games and crafts,
spend time with the rangers from Australian Reptile
Park with their popular interactive reptile show. Thanks
also to the merry band of line dancers and to the terrific
Lambton HS rock band who all entertained us with
music and dancing. Special thanks to each class who
produced a variety of
handmade country
crafts and cooking
goodies for sale at our
fun day stall - all
proceeds have been
donated to help farming
families in need - a great fundraising result, so thanks
you all for your support.
You can also see our new 2019 Education Week
posters for each student adorning the front entry areas
of the school celebrating authentic participation
focusing on this year’s theme of “Every Student, Every
Voice”. Each class has prepared a photo page of the
Family Fun Day which are attached to the newsletter.
On the Tuesday night of Education Week, I had the
privilege to attend the annual Education Week Awards
Ceremony at Newcastle High School, as we are part of
the Newcastle Learning Community with other
mainstream schools from across Newcastle. On the
night five of our school community were presented with
awards nominated and voted for by our staff in set
categories by this Learning Community initiative -
Jenny Lewis (our school community member award for
her ongoing enthusiasm and commitment as backbone
of the Friends Charity Committee); Simone Gosper
(our non-teaching staff award as a dedicated, intuitive
SLSO who always goes above and beyond for our
students); Pratibha Harriram (our teaching award for
her instructional leadership around technology and
resources); Darcey Ahoy (Aboriginal Education award
for the ongoing pride and respect for his Awabakal
culture) and to Jack Burkill (our student award for his
positive attitude to learning, caring nature and
leadership). I was very proud to submit these names in
acknowledgement of their achievements and
contributions to Newcastle Middle School and be there
to celebrate with them. Photos of each recipient have
recently been publicised on our Facebook page.
Today we had the opportunity to experience a music
percussion workshop with Josh, from The Rhythm
Village. We hope to have him come back to do some
more music therapy activities with the students and
extra training for staff to incorporate music across all
curriculum areas to enhance student learning even
more...very entertaining workshop fun today for all.
Thanks and kind regards,
Judy Mouthaan
