CROSS COUNTRY Friday 7 August
** Due to COVID-19 restrictions parents/carers will not be able
to
attend **
House colours may be worn on the day Due to the COVID-19
interruptions, the PSSA Cross Country had to be cancelled and many
students missed an opportunity to compete. As compensation, Turvey
Park Public School will be running a School Cross Country event at
Gissing Oval. Students will not progress to the zone level, as this
event is only an opportunity for students to showcase their skills
and not an official competition. Given that, student will still
receive ribbons for 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Reminder-Asthmatic students to
take Asthma Puffers with them while running. Sally Huggett &

On Thursday 30 July, 5/6E and 5/6C went to the Riverina
Educational Education Centre. We met Darron – the Principal,
Danyelle – a teacher and Aunty Jocelyn – the Aboriginal Elder for
the REEC land.
We learnt that Yindyamarra means slowly, carefully and
respectfully in Wiradjuri language and Garuu means magpie. We also
learnt lots of skills that would help us survive in the wild. These
skills included throwing spears and boomerangs at cut-outs of emus
and kangaroos and how to find bush tucker. We learnt how to make
humpies which is Wiradjuri for a hut. We learnt how throughout
time, land was destroyed for power lines, houses and essential
things. We also learnt that Aunty Jocelyn was the first elder at
Kapooka.
Everyone had so much fun that it did not feel like learning. We
thank Darron, Danyelle and Aunty Jocelyn for our enjoyable day at
the REEC.

On Monday, 3rd August, 3/4I celebrated School's Tree Day (a few
days late, but every day can be a tree day!) by planting 100
seedlings in the gardens at the front of the school that run
alongside the hall and the office. Alice Kent from Wagga City
Council facilitated the delivery of the seedling, which were
lovingly planted by the students under the watchful eye of Mr
Honeyman.

Good morning TPPS families
Welcome to NSW Public School Education Week! This is usually a
week where all public schools showcase their talents by performing
down at the Marketplace at different times during the week. Due to
restrictions relating to COVID-19, we are limited to only having
display boards in the Marketplace.
• The TPPS boards feature our Harmony Day writing and pictures
as well as including selected writing and artwork from around our
school. Our boards are out front of Valley Girl if you can get down
there and have a look.
• Our EAL/D homework centre will be starting up again in Week 5.
We are scheduled to go ahead on Monday 17/8 from 3:30pm. We will
send out more information as the date gets closer.
• This week is the start of our Christian Education Team (CET)
religious education for Kindergarten to Year 6. On Wednesday
afternoon Lexi and Phil will be here to work with students whose
parents have elected to have their children attend religious
education lessons. Our Catholic religious education has not
recommenced yet.
• Day excursions and incursions are still going ahead in NSW
public schools and at Turvey Park. Our restrictions have been
clarified and tightened in some areas and we are always being
careful to implement the appropriate health and hygiene
practices.
• Our restrictions relating to unnecessary adults on our school
site have not changed. Please do not come into our playground or
carparks for any reason. Access to the school is via our front
office doors on Halloran Street. This is so we can control who is
in our school and keep our staff and students as safe from possible
contamination as possible.
• Lastly, please respect social distancing and no smoking
procedures at our ‘gates’. I have noticed that many parents and
carers wait for their little people at the ‘gates’ and it is
getting more difficult to stand the required distance apart. If we
add in smokers who are too close, then we have an unsafe space for
our little people to come into. Please stand two big steps away
from each other and take your cigarettes to the corner if you need
to smoke. Thank you.
Stay safe.

EXTENDED TRADING HOURS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE!HEADLICE
There has been reported cases of head lice at the school and
your child may have contracted the condition. We are asking that
all parents examine their child’s hair for signs of lice
infestation. The lice themselves are often hard to find because
they move around on the head. Therefore, you should be looking for
the eggs or nits. These appear as tiny white specks attached to the
hair shaft near the scalp. Dandruff and hairspray may look similar
but these are easily brushed away, the eggs are not. Other signs of
lice infestation may be rash or scratch marks on the scalp , nape
of the neck or behind the ears.
If your child has contracted head lice do not be alarmed.
Although the condition is unpleasant, it is eas-ily treated with
specialised treatment available from your local chemist. After
using the lotion as per the instruction on the pack, use a fine
tooth comb to remove the dead lice and eggs. Any articles which may
harbour lice such as clothes, hats, towels and bed linen should be
washed in hot water and detergent. Combs and brushes should also be
washed in hot soapy water.
As head lice are highly contagious it is suggested that you
examine and treat all members of the family at the same time.should
also be washed in hot soapy water.
