We pay our respects to the Wiradjuri people, who are the traditional custodians of the land on which Delroy Campus sits, and pay respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal people who are part of our school community. I would like to begin by congratulating Years 7 and 9 for their behaviour and attitude while undertaking the Australia wide National Assessment Program Literacy and numeracy (NAPLAN) testing in week three. A big thank you to Mrs Fiona Riley and her team, for the superb organisation (and then reorganisation!) Assessments are an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they have learned and provides the school with important data to inform teaching and learning programs. It is important all students try to do their very best in all their exams and assessments. This term, students will be completing assessments and exams for their half yearly reports. It is a good idea to ensure due dates are written on the calendar at home so assignments and projects can be completed on time and students are well prepared for any tests. The Athletics carnival was a magnificent day! Congratulations to all the students who participated and thank you to Mr Dunlop for his excellent organisation, Mr May who did an outstanding job as carnival manager and to all the staff for their commitment and profession- alism in ensuring the carnival ran smoothly. Also, a big thank you to the canteen staff and the SRC for making sure we were well nourished on the day - Yum! Student numbers were well up on previous years, as well as the number of students qualifying for Western. What a fantastic effort! Yes, at Delroy, we can run, jump and throw! ……..Principal report continued Page 2 ‘YOU'RE THE VOICE’ conference What do you want your legacy to be? What opportunities do you have for student voice at your school? Which issues have the biggest impact on your education? These were some of the questions raised at the ‘YOU'RE THE VOICE’ conference attended by student council leaders from Delroy at Warrambui Retreat, near Canberra. 150 future student leaders from NSW immersed themselves in a range of workshops run by Year 11 students. Delroy leaders explored major issues arising for students in education today. Our leaders reflected on the importance of student voice at Dubbo College Delroy Campus. We discovered that students can be more engaged in their learning if they have meaningful conversations, listen to staff and students and share in school decision-making. What actually is important to our students at Delroy? A recent study completed by students around NSW suggested that safety, supportive environments, having a voice, respect and equality are most important. With this knowledge, student council representatives set about identify- ing important steps forward in student voice for all at Delroy. Our goal as student leaders will be to work at increasing the profile and importance of student voice in our school. In order to do this, the SRC will work to establish shared decision making systems and processes with students, staff and community members. This will ensure all students at Delroy have the best learning experience possible. Mr Leigh Rice SRC Co-ordinator

Rural & Regional FAQs
School Student Transport Scheme
For Schools and TAFEs - May 2016
An updated online form to apply for free travel between home and school will be available for students attending schools
in rural and regional NSW from 12 May 2016.
The form can be used by parents, guardians and students applying for free school student travel under the School Student
Transport Scheme (SSTS) and provides a single application process for School Opal cards and free school travel across
NSW.
Forms are completed by parents or guardians. Students 16 years of age and over must complete and sign the application
form themselves.
With 2016 rural and regional travel entitlements already issued for the year, most parents, guardians and students won’t
need to re-apply and should continue to use their current travel entitlement. A new application will only be required if
students change their school, campus, home address or name.
Bus operators will make their own arrangements with students as to whether a pass is required for travel to and from school.
Students who need to travel inside the Opal network will also be required to carry a School Opal card.
For more information go to www.transportnsw.info/school-students OR CALL 131500
Flame Tests in Science Year 9 Science students have been learning about atoms and the tiny sub-atomic particles inside them. They have been
using Flame Tests to show how electrons can be made to “jump” into different energy levels, which causes them to make
different colours of light. Since different elements (strontium, sodium, calcium, etc.) have different atomic structures, their
electrons will “jump” differently and have their own light signature. These sorts of investigations are important in Science
because they help us understand more about the relatively invisible parts of our universe.

Dorper excursion Last Thursday keen Agriculture students from Years 7 to 9 travelled up to Moree to take part in a two day training course.
The course was run at the Amarula Dorper stud by Lorrai and Justin Kirkby, both of whom are qualified assessors and
judges. The students learnt a lot over the two days ranging from: how to correctly assess the quality of a Dorper sheep right
through to making their own halters. Mr Piper was blown away when the students spontaneously started to quiz each other,
about what they had learnt, on the bus on the way home. Mr Piper would like to congratulate all the students on their
excellent behaviour and also thank Miss Griffiths and Mr Kelly for their assistance on the trip.

The Under 15 team under the coaching of Mr Wade had a great day with many of the boys having not played competition
Rugby League before. Unfortunately, in their first two games the team lost by a converted try. In the last game against
James Sheahan Catholic School Orange, the side played its best game leading for all but the last five seconds. Best of the
team were Randall Dowling, Paul Eastwood and a rampaging Ian Gordon.
The Under 13 team under the coaching of Mr Long had a hugely successful day winning two games and losing two games.
