SECONDARY REPORT

Elizabeth majoros

Yaama Colly

Thursday 23rd August, Secondary students and staff

travelled to Ag-quip in Gunnedah. It was a fantastic

experience for students to personally engage with

numerous aspects of their Agriculture subject. This

occurred with displays of animals, machinery,

universities, paddock to the plate processes and

interacting with many people. Being in a rural setting,

with more people than the population of our town, but

with the same focus, also proved to be a valuable

experience. As technology in Agriculture changes,

techniques in farming and employment opportunities

evolve, it will be interesting to compare a possible

experience in 2019. Thank you to JP and Mr Kirkland,

who drove us safely over and back.

Well done to our students who, as part of the 3 NBSA

teams of Rugby League and Ladies League Tag, in

Walgett last week. We had a very successful Ladies

League Tag team. They won the tournament.

Congratulations to Terri-Lee Murray, who took on the

leadership role of this team. Consisting of 3 other

schools, Terri-Lee did an amazing job, instructing her

team and offering encouragement that saw them lift

the trophy. Well done TerriLee, Keyarlee Cole-

Shepherd and Janice Murray. Tries were made by all 3

of our fantastic girls.

Our senior boys came second behind Moree. They

played very well. Tries were made by: Jace Peters,

Kyran Walford, Zac Flick and Will Simmonds

Our junior boys came in third place. They played well, and

made further connections with other students they will

encounter of the next few years of their NBSA

relationship. Well done boys.

During Week 8, Year 11 will have their yearly

examinations. There are only 5 more weeks until the end

of Year 11. All students are to ensure they have completed
