I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend and spoilt the mums, grandmothers and other special people in their lives yesterday. A big thank you to our P&C members for the efforts put into co-ordinating the annual Mother’s Day Morning Tea and Gift Stalls. There was a wonderful, warm atmosphere despite the cold, windy conditions. We unfortunately suffered a break in sometime prior to Saturday afternoon on the weekend. 5G was broken into and some technology equipment taken. The police were prompt with their responses and it has allowed all classes to commence as normal today. We thank them for their support. This week our Year 3 and Year 5 students will complete the NAPLAN assessments. These one off assessments need to remain in the right context. They are one assessment on one day and certainly do not assess all that occurs in a school or they do not assess all the wonderful attributes that our children possess. The most important thing is to encourage all our children to try their best. We can’t ask for any more than that. This Friday is the combined Broken Hill / Barrier Cross Country. It will be run at the Broken Hill Racecourse. We wish all our runners the best! Have a wonderful week of learning! Thought for the Week: “Success is the sum of small effort, repeated day and day out.” - Robert Collier Scott Sanford Principal A number of concerns raised with the school motorists relating to some children crossing over the pedestrian crossings and roads without looking first. For the safety of our children, parent/caregivers are please asked to re-inforce the road safety rules to your children. Please remind your children that cars take longer to see and react to your child in a safe manner. We want to keep our children safe. Children will be reminded in class too. Many children below the age of 10 years do not have the capability or judgment to handle many pedestrian situations. Children need to be accompanied and closely supervised by a parent or adult carer to keep them safer. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and THINK! Transition from Year 6 to Year 7 Reminder for Year 6 students to return their “Expression of Interest” forms for High School in 2019
