Welcome to week 5

Congratulations to Joe Quade who represented our school and Western

District at the State AFL Championship in Sydney last week. This has been a

wonderful opportunity for Joe who enjoyed the experience.

You may have noticed your child came home with a new book yesterday. These

books were generously donated by Books4Outback. Thanks to Neil & Roger for

their generosity. They went to 28 schools on this trip.

Today the students have been involved in Science activities lead by Sally Russell

who is the Education Officer at the Lake Cowell Conservation Centre. The

children gathered ‘mini- beasts’ from the garden and viewed them under the

microscope. Thank you to ITAV for organising this opportunity for us and

bringing the pre-schoolers along to join in.

On Monday, Year 6 travelled to Wagga Wagga to take part in the GRIP

Leadership Conference. I would like to commend Jasmine, Joe and Jake on

their behaviour. The conference focused on what it means to be a good leader

and how best to contribute to a team.

Congratulations to Ella Hueske who is our Citizen of the Week. Ella is an

enthusiastic learner who contributes to all aspects of school life in a positive

manner. Well done, Ella.

GRIP Conference The GRIP Student Leadership Conference is unique in that it concentrates specifically on training student

leaders for their role as SCHOOL LEADERS. The style, topics, and content of this conference all focus on

what the students can do RIGHT NOW.

Mrs Johnson, Joe, Jake and Jasmine travelled to CSU Wagga to take part in this experience.

Grip Leadership Recount

I learnt that leadership is about people not

position or power. The 4 core characteristics of

leadership are; empathy, reliability, the ability to

help others and to be focused on others.

Some ways to make a contribution to my team

are:

Enjoyment—make it fun

Contribute my strengths

Help others

Do the necessary tasks without being

asked.
