FROM THE PRINCIPAL

AWARDS ON ASSEMBLY

It is a wonderful part of my job that I have the privilege of congratulating students on

achieving awards related to reading, and the school rules. I am very proud of the students of

Warrigal Road State School and we appreciate the parent involvement at our assemblies.

BIRTHDAYS

We are happy to celebrate students’ birthdays here at school by singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in

classrooms and by having a small celebration treat. However, our teachers cannot hand out

party bags to students in the class.

ROAD SAFETY

We continue to stress that road safety is a focus for our students, as it is in many schools.

Please talk to your child at home about the road safety messages that are being shared in class,

as the Deputy Principals go to classes to deliver FIT (Focussed Intensive Teaching) lessons.

The Deputy Principals are teaching the children about being safe before and after school on

the playgrounds (which are out of bounds at this time) and on the roads. Reinforcing our

message at home will help keep our children safe.

DI CARTER, PRINCIPAL

YEAR 4 CAMP

Below is a reflection from one of our happy campers:

Camp we were at three days ago,

Maps there weren't so the kids were like, "Whoa!"

Everything at camp was very cool.

The place was very good and the food made us drool.

Tallebudgera was better than you would expect,

Hello and byes there were lots and lots,

Eating was so delicious, yum yum yum!

Body boarding was the best activity,

Salt stung our skin, I could do it for infinity.

There was even a talent show for our eyes to feast,

Overall, Tallebudgera was beast!

you intend to purchase an instrument please let us know so we can reallocate school instruments to students

who have missed out. It is important to read the Instrumental Handbook as this may also guide you in making

your decision (to be emailed to 2020 recruited students only). Commitment to the team is key to the success of

this Program. If your child misses out this year on strings we ask you to reapply for the 2021 Band program.

GALA DAY RESULTS Girls Touch Football

Our Warrigal Senior A Touch Girls remain undefeated after Gala Day 2. The girls

displayed plenty of sheer speed and quick rucking throughout the day to dominate

their opposition. They started the day with a 7-3 win over Algester. Following this,

they defeated Runcorn Heights 5-2 before giving Stretton an 11-0 touch up. The

girls then finished the day with a 7-1 win over Sunnybank Hills. Well done girls,

it’s great to see your training sessions paying off. McDonald’s Awards went to

Emily and Christina.

The Junior A Touch Girls played extremely well on

Friday. They are a team that are new to the game but have picked up the rules quickly.

After missing Gala Day 1, these girls had a long day in the sun last week, having to

play 5 games throughout the day. The girls won their first two games 4nil against

Sunnybank Hills and Algester. They then played a quick Stretton side who managed to

even the scores, 2-2, just before the end of the game. Although starting to tire, the

Junior A girls managed to win their next 2 games, 5-0 and 1-0. Congratulations girls on

your fabulous start to the season. McDonald’s Awards went to Bethany and Karensa

MISS SARAH CURRIE

Boys Softball

On Friday 6 September, the Year 5 and 6 softball boys had their second Gala Day and it turned out to be a hot

one! Unfortunately both Senior A and B were defeated in all their games, with Senior A playing Runcorn

Heights (5-4), Sunnybank Hills (12-5) and Yeronga A (13-4). Senior B played Runcorn Heights (2-2),

Sunnybank Hills (14-7) and Yeronga B (5-4). The boys played extremely well considering the heat they were in

which got the best of them. Reuben D and Jophy Y from Senior A and Hamza M and Michael H from Senior B

received the Maccas awards for Gala Day 2.

RUNCORN ROCKETS BASKETBALL

Some of our Year 4 students have been fortunate enough to have Jason and

Kaila from the Runcorn Rockets Basketball Club teaching them various

basketball skills throughout the term. Jason and Kaila love to promote

basketball within schools and we are very grateful that they volunteer their

time to expose our Year 4 Warrigal students to the game of basketball. The

students are enjoying their weekly training sessions and getting a taste of what

team sport is all about. Next year for

Gala Days, these students will need to

decide what sport they might like to

represent Warrigal in, and basketball is one option available to them.

Participating in this program has been a great opportunity for these

students as they start to consider their chosen sport. Thanks Jason, Kaila

and Runcorn Rockets!

RUNCORN HIGH SCHOOL TOUCH ACADEMY

Our Warrigal Touch Teams have teamed up with the Runcorn High School Touch Academy students to

establish a coaching relationship. Each Monday, the academy students come to Warrigal to teach our 8 touch

football teams different skills and set plays that they can use in their games on gala days. Both Warrigal and

Runcorn Academy students are relishing their weekly training sessions and have developed a great rapport with

each other both at training sessions and on Gala Days. We thank

Runcorn High School for

this fabulous opportunity

given to our Warrigal

Touch Football Teams.
