“Maintaining A Tradition of Excellence”

I would like to introduce you to our 2019 Staff at Forbes Public School. This is a dedicated team of people who are passionate about their job and are here to support all the children in their learning and wellbeing. We have two new staff members this year. I would like to formally welcome Miss Ingold and Miss Kelly. Miss Gersbach has also returned to our school this year.

It has been a busy few weeks with many sporting events and students trying out for Lachlan teams. Congratulations to all students who have made it into those teams. It was inspiring to hear how our swimming team competed at Condobolin. Congratulations on the number of students and relay teams who are moving forward to Western at Dubbo.

Students and Staff are feeling excited about the upcoming colour fun run. Please come along and join in the BBQ lunch at 1:15pm. The run will begin at 2pm on the oval. We hope to see a lot of parents cheering the children along.

Forbes Junior AECG

On Thursday, 28 February Forbes Public were invited to attend the first ever Junior AECG meeting at Forbes High School. Alice Bray and Jesse Flick who are our school Junior AECG members represented our school with pride.

The session was organised by Mr Barry Merritt who is the AECG President and he invited all the schools across the Forbes area who are involved in the AECG. The children participated in a variety of leadership activities and were supported by the AECG community and elders.

As this was the first meeting held positions for a committee were formed. A huge congratulations must go to Alice Bray who is now the supporting Treasurer for the Junior AECG committee and thanks to Mr Merritt for hosting such a great afternoon.

All positions were filled with both senior and junior roles. The 2019 Committee for the Forbes Junior AECG

Stage 3 Aboriginal Art

In Stage 3 this term we are looking at Aboriginal Art as a topic. We have also incorporated a local Wiradjuri man, Brad Holmes to teach us some aspects about culture, language and dance. Each class in Stage 3 are participating in a five week block to learn about culture and dance.

The stage 3 classes will then perform for the primary area our dances we have learnt throughout the term.

Many thanks must go to Brad for his wonderful guidance as the children have learnt and experienced a great deal.

EEP 2019

Students who are taking part in EEP lessons this term have been busy collecting recycled materials to make musical instruments. Designs have been inspired by “The Recyclers: From trash to triumph” the story of the recycled orchestra of Paraguay.

EEP students have been working through their design process and thinking creatively to plan their instruments and are now beginning to put their design process into action and create their instruments.

We look forward to seeing their musical instruments and hearing them play.

Last Friday our school participated in Clean Up Australia Day. Each year group were responsible for cleaning up a designated area of our school. It was great to see the students interested in keeping our environment clean.

Ms Halls—Coordinator
