Our Mission in 1H is to build active and creative
minds. We strive to learn new knowledge each day
through exciting ways. We promise to respect oth-
ers, use our manners, never give up and to always
try our best.

ing knowledge.
Last Wednesday, Kindergarten and Year 1 walked to the Werris Creek Library for National
Simultaneous Story Time.
Last week the K12 students attended the simultaneous
story time at the Werris Creek library. I was delighted
today to have a phone call from the Librarian, Marilyn
Deeks, to tell me that a number of other customers
commented on how lovely the children looked in their
uniforms and that their behavior was a credit to the
school. Well done K-2 students, though we already
knew how wonderful you are.
Next week we are celebrating NAIDOC Week. Everyone is invited to join us for the Flag
Raising Ceremony at 10:30am on Monday. The oldest and youngest Aboriginal student
will cut the cake. The P&C are once again kindly making individual patty cakes for the
children. Please join us for morning tea on this day. On Wednesday we will be holding a full day of celebrations commencing at 10am. The
children will participate in workshops based on Aboriginal culture. Please join us for a
sausage sizzle lunch and a performance from Sean Choolburra, Aboriginal comedian
and performer at 2pm.

STUDENT BANKING
Werris Creek Public School participates in Student Banking. Currently we are holding an in-
school activity to encourage students to bank. If a student banks 3 times
between week 7 – week 10 they will be eligible to go into a draw to win a
prize.
If you wish your child/children to participate, please call into the school
office to pick up a bank book. You will then need to go to your nearest
Commonwealth Bank to join (if not a member). Once this is done you then send in your book
with banking into the school to be processed.
We are looking for volunteers to listen to children
read and to participate in our Sit & Chat program.
If you are able to help please contact Mrs Byrne on
6768 7065.
Expectation of the Week
Be a good example for other students. Choose to
behave sensibly.

closes a prison.”

This week we started to focus on Habit 4: Think Win Win.
We will focus on this habit for the next 5 weeks. Our aim is for the students to understand that by thinking Win-Win, everyone has a say in the decision-making process. Children will learn that if there are more than two people involved, it is important to talk about
