Principal’s

Message

This week Secondary Golf Monday, 4t’s sport

Wednesday, League Super 6’s Thursday and

Gobondery Narraf Gala Day at Peak Hill Central

School on Friday. These events have required the

school to hire an additional 24 seater bus for three

days but I am sure the trophy cupboard will be full

after this week. The ironic aspect of bus hire is it is far

more cost effective for the school to hire a 24 seater

bus when needed than own and maintain a bus. I

know these events place additional strain on family

budgets, but I also realise for social development

young people need to take part in events outside the

boundaries of the school. I am making good money

now but I have eaten plenty of tomato sauce

sandwiches in the past, so I will not judge you

negatively if you need extra time to pay for these

extra-curricular events. These activities are outside

the mandatory curriculum so not paying is not an

option but the school has a degree of flexibility for

genuine people. People who were ‘gunner’ pay but did

not in the past need not apply for credit as I can be a

man of very few but effective words. One of them is

No! Year 12 half yearly exams have commenced. This can

be a difficult time for students and families. Reality

and expectation are often not good friends at this

time and massive painful self-reflection often occurs

amongst students and families. I have been involved

with the HSC for 23 years and witnessed some good

students lose confidence and motivation at this time

and others come good. One thing I am certain of is

parents have done their job, either good or bad. It is

time for you sit back and provide the environment

and encouragement for study rather than threats or

increased tension in the house. I remember a parent a

few years ago kicking their 18 year old son out of the

house because he would not study. The only thing

this achieved was an empty space in the house even

bigger than the one between his ears. Threatening

adolescent children is similar to nude wrestling

crocodiles. Eventually they will bite back and it will be

painful.

Last Friday was the Continental. I thank all people

who make these events a success. This town is unique

in that it supports events that are essential to keep

places like local schools providing excellent service. I

do not know how much money was raised but I know

I look forward to the benefit it will be to this school. I

hope the P&C remembers money is made to go

around not made flat to stack when I come begging/

asking.

Below are photos of two of our work readiness

students who have constructed a new fence across

the driveway. The work readiness program has taught

these students the skills to work with minimal

supervision to complete this project. Also I thank

Matthew Randall for the donation of 10 small motors

for our school small engine maintenance elective. I just

need to obtain the funding for a teacher and

equipment but we have a very positive starting point.

School excellence data was published last week. I

always get a little nervous when state data arrives

because comparisons between non like schools are

not valid. How could it be valid to compare Trundle

Central School with a large High School in the Eastern

Suburbs of Sydney? (clearly we are better). Also many

statistics are irrelevant because of our relatively small

sample. For example in a sample of four students if

one student scores in band six in NAPLAN the data

reads 25 percent of students were in band six, an

excellent result in a large school but a statistical error

in a small sample. It is similar to a person bragging

about your football team beating Manly; it has no

credibility at all. However much of this is data that is

relevant because it groups together like schools. These are schools with similar student numbers and

characteristics. Consider this data from like schools:

This schools growth rate is 3.2 % per year over

the last two years. This is outstanding when

you consider similar schools are declining at

approximately 2.1 % per year.

Aboriginal students in the school are performing

as well or better than their non-Aboriginal

counterparts. When compared to the state,

this is outstanding.

The performance of students from low-socio

economic families at Trundle Central School is

considerably better than in similar schools.

The proportion of students in the top bands of

NAPLAN is above that of similar schools with

matched samples.

Trundle Central School attendance rate is 95.2

precent. This is 5.2 percent above the state

average. Indeed, if I remove two students from

the sample the rate is almost 100 percent. This

indicates three things to me, parents are aware

of the need to send their children to school

under the education act, school attendance

processes are working but more importantly

most students want to attend school. These statistics are nice to read but are meaningless if

we do not continue to move forward. For example,

writing in the Year 5 sample of boys is an area for

improvement. To overcome this deficit the school has

employed extra support staff to allow for additional

remedial work in Primary. Similarly Aboriginal

education is a priority in the school and across the

state. To try and better equip ourselves to cater for

Aboriginal learning styles the whole staff will undertake

8 Ways training next term. This is a considerable

financial commitment but essential if we are going to be

the best we possibly can be.

An additional and exciting development in the school is

Ms Dianne Downes undertaking L3 training. L3 is an

explicit, systematic teaching of literacy designed

especially for infants students. It is rare in a school this

size that a person with these qualifications is in the

school and this program operating. This is a significant

financial commitment by the school and a commendable

professional commitment by Miss Downes. Students in

this school deserve the best we can possibly provide

and we are blessed that our teachers are always looking

to improve their knowledge and lesson delivery. As this

was a significant budgetary item for the school. We will

have to save money in other areas. In 2016 school

pencil sharpeners will only sharpen one side of the

pencil, all toilets are set to half flush, our bus will only

go around left hand corners, last year’s school report

will be re-issued and we will use wild goats to mow the

lawn to save petrol in the mower.

Our new front garden is progressing well under the

guidance of Parkes Council. It was one of my bucket list

items to improve the appearance of the front of the

school so I am very pleased this work has been

approved. Additional shade is a priority in the school

now so we will be applying for grants to cover areas of

the courtyard. Applying for and receiving is two totally

separate things so we will have to wait for a reply. The

minister informs me patience is not my strong point, so

I hope we are successful soon. If we are successful I will

use the rule that if a local is within the ball park of an

outside tradesperson they will get the contract to build

shade coverings. Please note this is a relatively small

ball park not the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The school received a visit from senior officers of the

Teacher Housing Authority last week. This was in

response to an approach by local teachers and a letter I

sent some time ago. One of the incentives to teaching in

country locations is the possible availability of suitable

housing. Suitable is often a matter of interpretation.

When we moved into our house we were disappointed

to discover holes in the wall, items left in garage and

several other problems. The back yard for example was

more dangerous to the family dog than a visit from

Mitchell Pearce. Indeed, we were forced to move out

for over five weeks whilst repairs were carried out.

This type of negative experience could be the difference

between a teacher staying in the town or quickly moving

on. Stability of staff is important to move a school

forward. Teacher Housing has given a commitment to at

least look at the possibility of constructing additional

properties in Trundle which is all we could hope for at

this stage.

I often wonder why humans need to place labels on

everything. Indeed, on our oven hot plate there is a

label saying it will become hot. People are also labelled if

they do not fit into what a community believes is the

norm. This is a form of bullying that is subtle and

difficult to control in schools but it often has a

significant impact on the mental well being of kids. A

disadvantage of a small centre is the lack of sub-cultures

where children who do not fit into the norm can find

friends and express their identity. I would hate a school

where children cannot express themselves because

powerful personalities in the student population drag

them back to the norm. At times I am at a loss to find

ways to prevent this natural human pack mentality

because they are not actually breaking any rules and it is

supported in the community. I encourage your children

to develop their individualism and identity because they

will be happier and more contented in their life. They

could even support Manly or play cricket in 40 degree

heat if that is what they choose. Running with the pack

is great if you’re one of the leaders but we always need

individuals.

Recently I attended a meeting to determine the best

possible way of gaining a doctor back to Trundle. Well

done to those people who nominated for the

committee and I have offered to help in any possible

way.

Another great week in Trundle.

Last Friday was a great evening at the

Continental. The afternoon cooled down

beautifully after such a hot day. It was

great to see all the children there. They

were so excited about all the things on offer. Each

class has such a great time creating posters to

advertise their class stall.

A huge thank you goes to the primary staff who

spend weeks preparing and organising activities

for the Continental. They also spend the night

ensuring that everyone has a great time.

K-6 Swimming All K-6 children will be going to the pool for sport

this Friday. This will be our last week. It has been

great to watch the progress of each student’s

water confidence and their ability to swim each

stroke. We are very lucky to have three

AUSTswim qualified teachers to ensure that all

the students are reaching their potential.

Please ensure your children have swimmers, a towel, sunscreen, a swim shirt and $2 for entry to

the pool unless you have a season ticket. We will

be walking back to school at the end of sport

unless we have been notified of alternative

arrangements.

Crunch and Sip

Children are encouraged to bring FRESH fruit or

vegetables to school for Crunch and Sip. They are

also able to have a sipper bottle of water in the

classroom.

NO HAT NO PLAY In Term 1, children must wear a

wide brimmed maroon hat. We

have a NO HAT NO PLAY

policy. Please ensure that your

child has packed or is wearing

their hat each morning. We have

spares that can be given out to

students however it is in the student’s best

interest to bring their own hat.

Gobondery/NARRAF Gala Day

Cricket and T-Ball On Friday, 18th March we will be

participating in one of the

Gobondery/NARRAF Gala Day’s that

are held each term. This term it is to

be held in Peak Hill and the sports

are cricket and t-ball. We have

chosen and trained a Year 5/6 cricket team and a

Year 3/4 t-ball team. This is a fabulous opportunity to meet students from our

neighbouring schools, work together with their

peers and enjoy a day of sport. Thank you to

Jono Sanderson for training the cricket team and

Mrs Jones for training our t-ball team.

Premiers Reading Challenge This year, Trundle Central School is encouraging students from Kindergarten to Year 9 to enter the

Premiers Reading Challenge (PRC). The challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and

pleasure in students. It also enables them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a

challenge to each student to read, read more or read more widely. The challenge opens on Monday

7th March 2016 and finishes on the 19th August 2016. In order to complete the challenge students

must read a minimum number of books. Please see the table below for more information regarding

the number of books required for each year level. For completing the challenge, students are awarded

a Challenge Completion Certificate.

Students in K-2 are able to have the books read to them. All other year levels require students to read the books on their own but can have someone to help choose them. Students are able to log

their own record of books through the Premiers Reading Challenge website. Their logon is the same

one as they use to access the computers and internet at school. If your child is unsure of their logon

please contact Mrs Gray or their class teacher. Booklists are also available on the website. The Trun-

dle Central School library has many of the books listed on these lists so students are able to borrow

from there during their library time. If you would like further information please do not hesitate in

contacting Mrs Gray.

Thanks to all the Secondary students who gave assistance at the Continental. It is always fantastic to

see so many of our students willing to be part of our school community. Personally I want to thank

anybody who volunteered to assist me with rolling the Zorb Ball. You may have saved me from any

number of ailments related to age and exertion! Honourable mention to Pete Coster in this

endeavour.

Also to the four students that I had the privilege of escorting while they were promoting the

Continental on Friday on their unicycles and stilts…..well done!! No broken bones and you definitely

gained plenty of attention for the Continental-and my heart rate is back to normal.

Last weeks’ excursions to the Science and Engineering Challenge on Tuesday and various agriculture

ventures on Wednesday went exceedingly well. Thank you to the students who represented our

school so admirably. It is a pleasure to receive the positive feedback about your behaviour that I do.

This week we have a number of students representing us in different sporting competitions which

include golf, rugby league and at the 4T’s Sports Day at Tottenham. I am excited at hearing about our

students’ exploits, participation and results from these endeavours. Please remember that if you are

not in full correct uniform for the excursion then you will not be able to attend.

Lots of students gaining level 4 on the welfare system this week. Excellent and well done to

everybody who has made that level! Some students have gained the required tickets but are unable to

move up either due to incidents, or uniform matters. We actually have 72% of our students with the

correct number of tickets to be on level 4!

Finally a date for your calanders-30th March. This is the Parent/Teacher evening at school. You will

be able to sign up for interviews with the teacher through the office. Unfortunately I am away on

professional learning. If you wish to make an appointment to see me [and I would love to speak to as

many parents as possible] please contact the front office and make an alternative time.

Niko and his family are trapped in Sa-

rajevo during the Bosnian War. The

siege lasts for three years and Niko's

family struggle to find enough food and

avoid the snipers whose targets are

civilians in the streets. Niko and his

friend Nadim take refuge from the

bombing in the stairwell of their apart-

ment building and together they find

hope in the midst of a war they did not

start but must try to survive.

Alfie Bloom's life is dull. Dull and lone-

ly. All of that changes when he is sum-

moned to the bizarre offices of myste-

rious solicitor, Caspian Bone, where he

inherits a castle full of wonders that

has been sealed for centuries. Alfie is

astounded to learn he was born in that

very castle six hundred years ago dur-

ing a magical timeslip. There, Orin

Hopcraft, the last of the druids hid an ancient magic inside him, which others

seek but should never be used. With

the help of his cousins Madeleine and

Robin, a shapeshifting solicitor and a

flying bearskin rug Alfie must keep the

magic from terrifying adversaries and

ensure that the secrets of hexbridge

castle stay secret, forever!

Joke of the week

When Briana loses out on a starring

role in the school's production of

Hamlet, she reluctantly agrees to be

the drama department's "social media

director" and starts tweeting half-

hearted updates. She barely has any

followers, so when someone hacks

her twitter account, Briana can't

muster the energy to stop it. After

all, tweets like "Something's rotten in

the state of Denmark . . . and a

body's rotting in the theater" are

obviously a joke.

Trundle Pony Club

First Riding Rally Day 06.03.2016 Welcome back Trundle Pony Club. After a successful working bee and registration day last month, it

was time to get back on our horses on Sunday.

Four riders braved the heat and saddled up for our rally day. We

started slowly as many of the horses were still in holiday mode as

were the riders but once we warmed up it was like we had just rid-

den every day since presentation.

Breanna showed us her new saddle, Bridget showed us just how

relaxed her horse can be after a break and Phoebe and Blair kept

everyone motivated to ride all the tasks so we could go to the pool.

After a huge lunch delivered by Greg & Sophie’s Gourmet Catering,

the riders then braved the dressage arena to familiarise themselves

with the letters again. Practice will make it easy and with our gym-

khana coming up in May, we will be ready.

We then packed up our horses and went to the pool to cool off.

A big thank you to those who came on Sunday and a special thank

you to Tony M who came over on Saturday and trimmed the trees

in the driveway and did a rubbish run for us. Also Tracey for mow-

ing the lawn and Tom for slashing and Paul B for his efforts in mow-

ing. The racecourse is looking loved again after the summer holidays

and will be sparkling for ABBA and our gymkhana.

Aqua Aerobics Aqua will finish on Wed 23

rd March.

I would like to thank all those who

attended and I hope to see you all in

November
