Laura and Spike at the Bathurst Show Congratulations Laura Sharp (Year 8, left, with Spike) on a terrific effort at the Bathurst Show. Laura competed in the Australian Stock Horse Classes, where in very strong competition, both in her age and in Open classes, some with 20-odd competitors, Laura managed a second place. Again, a terrific effort. Congratulations Laura. I do like to publish details of students’ achievements, like this one of Laura’s, but I sometimes rely on parents to be aware of everything that’s going on. Please send me a paragraph and photo when your child manages a special achievement.

From the Principal
Welcome everyone to Week 4.
Parents’ Support Group
One concern for parents and carers of children with special needs
is ensuring their children achieve their potential in the post-school
environment. All parents, of course, understand this challenge, but
some children face distinct challenges in choosing a career,
accessing support services, training, etc.
This week’s Parent Support Group meeting will address these
challenges. Mr Justin Omrod will be speaking, a young man who
has been diagnosed with Asperger’s (ASD) and has proceeded to
a range of extraordinary achievements in work and wider pursuits,
including some inspiring achievements in extreme-distance cycling.
He will address the PSG on his own experiences post-school,
particularly training, employment, support (from school, family and
government) and other areas.
As always, members of the PSG will also bring their own wealth of
experience to the meeting.
Mrs Laurian Ginns asks that those attending think of specific
questions they would like to ask of Justin. Laurian will forward the questions to Justin so he has a format for
discussion and has time to prepare. Please address questions and general enquiries to Laurian at
This Year our Carnival is to be held on Sunday the 15th of June. Please book this date into your soccer and
Netball diaries. Also if you could pass this information on to any other clubs or teams in your area I may
have missed, we would be grateful. If you could let me know a contact person/s for your team or club
that we can deal with directly that would be appreciated.
A Flyer will follow with more information. We look forward to a great day of Competition.

NRL ‘Backyard Blitz’ Football Clinics
Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 enjoyed a Rugby League Clinic on Friday 9th May. The students will
be involved in the NRL ‘Backyard Blitz’ Program that is delivered to schools around our area by Rugby
League Development Offcer, Michael Armstrong. This program will run over three sessions and helps
develop many skills. All students had a fun time learning skills and scoring tries!! Many thanks to Michael
Armstrong for his time and efforts!

Orange Theatre Company would like to offer students and young people an amazing theatrical
opportunity. This October OTC are putting on a youth production of Seussical the Musical which is a full
scale musical production based around the stories of Dr Seuss. It particularly focuses on the story of Horton
Hears a Who but includes moments from other well-known Dr Seuss stories such as The Cat in the Hat, How
the Grinch Stole Christmas and Green Eggs and Ham. OTC would love for any of our students who are
interested in being involved either on stage, in the band, or working behind the scenes, to attend the
information session.
There will be a COMPULSORY information session on Sunday 1st June at 2pm – 3pm in Mercy Hall, James
Sheahan Catholic High School. Every person auditioning for a role on stage or in the band, as well as those
interested in working behind the scenes, plus a parent representative with any children under 18, must
attend this session. They should arrive no later than 1:50pm so that both child and parent can sign in and
be seated ready to start at 2pm.
The auditions for those wanting a role on stage will be held on the following two Sundays, 8 th June and 15th
June, both days starting at 10am. Students will book in for 5 minute time slots to sing a prepared song from
the show and must also attend the dance audition at 3:30pm on the same day they audition. More
information about the audition process, as well as the audition process for the band and backstage crew,
will be given at the information session.
