Walhallow Public School NAIDOC celebrations Friday, 29 June 2018 12.30pm See invite in following pages Term 2 Week 6 Thursday, 7 June, 2018 Principal’s Message Congratulations to the students, staff and the community of Walhallow on a fantastic week and weekend, last week, where we participated in some wonderful activities designed to enhance Reconciliation Week. On Saturday morning the village was filled with anticipation as we awaited the bike riders that participated in the Reconciliation Ride. What a fabulous event! The children who met the peloton at the village entrance were very excited to join them as they rode into the school. The riders were greeted with a very warm welcome from students, staff and community members. Check out Facebook for some great pictures of the morning. The visitors enjoyed morning tea very kindly supplied by staff Mrs Cronin, Mrs Payne, Mrs Clarke and myself. The raffle was very well supported, and I’d like to thank Leanne, David and Virginia for their kind donations. We look forward to this event being even bigger and better next year. Thank you to Mr Doug Hawkins who invited us to be part of this special day. The weekend continued to get better when a bus load of 14 of our students headed to Quirindi to perform in the Joan Carpenter Scholarship. I was very proud of the students and staff who put so much effort into preparing for this occasion. The children performed three songs in language, Hokey Pokey, I am Australian and Stand By Me. The audience was captivated by the children singing in language with pride and the cuteness of our crew. We gained first place in the school choir section and received an overall encouragement award! Thank you to Mrs Harris and Miss Allan for leading the choir and to members of our school community who came to support our students. A special mention should go to QHS student Mitch Levingston for accompanying our choir – thank you so much. Last Wednesday, five of our older students attended music workshops with Mr Garrett at Quirindi High School and then performed in a band with over 40 students! They were fantastic! It was a very exciting moment watching our students as they embraced this opportunity. Congratulations Jahmeika, Nyree, Curtis, Charlotte and Jada on a fantastic performance and well done to Mr Garrett. Next week 13 students will travel to Queensland with Miss Allan, Mr Davis, Virginia and myself. Stay tuned for our adventures. Thank you to Mrs Hallman who has prepared the best excursion for us! (Read more about our excursion later in the newsletter). Walhallow PS will be open for the students not attending the excursion. Programs will continue as normal and students are expected to attend. – Mrs Davis
