QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“We all have dreams. But in
order to make dreams come
into reality, it takes an awful lot
of determination, dedication,
self-discipline and effort.”
JESSE OWENS
NARRABRI FISH FARM
Last Friday the Stage 5 Design and Technology class,
with interested Stage 4 students, visited the Narrabri
Yabby and Fish Farm as part of our study to establish
aquaculture at school. Students learnt about the
science of keeping and breeding fish and yabbies
and looked at each stage of development. The
farm breeds cod, silver perch, catfish and yabbies
and the owner discussed the breeding requirements
for each. This excursion was extremely informative
and inspired the students on new materials and
equipment we can use for our own project here at
school.
We also purchased yabbies from the farm. This
week students have sorted our yabbies by the sex so
we can start our breeding program. Data will be
collected to ensure a high survival rate, as we
learnt yabbies really like to eat each other.

STAGE 4 STUDENT LAPTOP PROGRAM
Stage 4 students will have access to new Chromebooks (a type of laptop) for their school studies.
Students and their families will need to sign an agreement with the school before a Chromebook will
be assigned. A payment of $50 is required annually to lease each laptop. This payment will be used
by the school for ongoing maintenance of the device.
After 4 years of consecutive lease payments, the student will acquire ownership of the laptop.
Mungindi Central School will release all responsibility of the laptop. It will then become the
responsibility of the student to organise and pay for any repairs needed.

PRESCHOOL CAPERS
The children are continually investing in other cultures learning by ‘travelling around the world’ using
our home corner ‘Up and Go’ Travel Agency. This week we visited China and Japan reading books
that showed culture, listening to music, watching dancing, looking at housing and clothing… and
created a Japanese garden.
The animal pens now known as the Fur and Feathers Penthouse are
finished. Bill Lawson and the children have done a fantastic job.
Next week
Assessment and Rating :- We will have a visitor next week from ACECQA
on Tuesday 25 June.
CentreCare :- Each Wednesday we are learning from the CentreCare
staff. On Wednesday 26 June 10:30 am – 11:00 am we will continue to
support our social skills program.
Last Day of Term 2 :- Thursday 4 July 2019
First Day of Term 3 :- Wednesday 24 July 2019

POWER OUTAGES
There will be minor to possibly significant power outages on Tuesday 2 July as there are 40+ safety
switches within the school that have been recalled and therefore need to be replaced.
Classes will continue as usual. It is recommended to parents to ensure their child/ren have adequate
clothing for the day as there may be no heating.

LUNCH PASSES
An important reminder regarding Secondary students who use a lunch pass. It is a privilege, and as
part of the agreement to utilise these passes ALL students must return to school no later than 12:05 pm
in readiness for their next class. Students who continually fail to meet this requirement will no longer be
able to leave school premises for lunch. Alternative arrangements will need to be made for accessing
their lunch ie. bring their lunch to school in the morning or get it delivered by a parent to the
Administration Office before 11:30 am. This is to ensure that there is no disruptions to the classrooms so
students can have the best possible learning experience.
Primary students are not eligible to access lunch passes. Parents are advised if your child forgets their
lunch, or you are running late, their lunches must be dropped at the Administration Office for delivery
to the student. Under no circumstances are parents to deliver the lunches to the classrooms.

Please note the changes to the D & T Café schedule. Due to events being held every Friday for the
rest of the term, the lunch time bacon & egg burgers have now been rescheduled for Thursday
lunchtime. Remember that all ordered must be placed by Wednesday afternoon to ensure
availability.
