From the Principal...
It has been a real privilege to be able to spend a few weeks at Delroy while
Ms Macleod has been on leave. I have been greatly impressed by the
commitment and enthusiasm of staff and the wonderful students who have been most polite, helpful and who show a
genuine love of learning.
The P&C held a very successful BBQ on Saturday14th March at Aldi to raise money for the Gold Level excursion in
Term 4. It was great to see such a fantastic roll up of staff and students to help out, with special thanks to Miss Bermingham
for her organisation. If you bought a sausage sizzle thanks as well!
The P&C have lots of great fundraising activities in mind for the rest of the year to help create more opportunities for
students at Delroy Campus. Last Monday the P&C AGM was held and I would like to congratulate the following office
bearers:
President – Tracey Anderson Vice President - Karen Dicker Treasurer – Leah Bayliss Secretary - Melissa Medway
The P&C meets on the third Monday of the month at 6pm downstairs at Club Dubbo and I extend an invitation to all
members of our school community to come along.
Year 10 students participated in the Get Real assembly held at the Senior Campus on Tuesday 17th March. A Get Real team
works from each of the three campuses with the careers team and assist students to find pathways to further education at
university or TAFE, traineeships and apprenticeships, or full time work once they leave school.
Building on this are the Clontarf team who have been conducting many activities with Aboriginal boys and are a great
resource for our school to improve engagement and retention of students.
The Learning and Support (LST) team led by Mrs Budden have been interviewing students and assessing student learning
needs and developing individual learning plans to improve learning outcomes. Please feel free to contact the LST to discuss
your child's progress. Other important staff are the Year Advisers who are:
Year 7
Ms Williams and Mr Piper
Year 8
Ms Smith and Mr Rice
Year 9
Mrs Marsh and Mrs Kelly
Girls Adviser: Mrs Kelly
These staff should be your first contact for issues around welfare needs.
Year 10
Ms McConnell and Mr Stedman
I cannot stress enough about the need for students to attend school every day and I seek your support as parents and
guardians to ensure that this happens and your child is at school every single day. In 2015 the DEC changed the rules
around seeking exemption from attendance at school which can be found at:
https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/policies/student_admin/attendance/sch_polproc/exempt_gui.pdf
Note in particular that family holidays, family business are not grounds for exemption from school. This is to ensure that
everyone is clear in understanding that students from age 5 to 17 years need to be in school everyday if they are to be
successful.
It is great to see almost every student in correct school uniform and to be proud of being on “team Delroy!” Well done.
I wish you a happy Easter (don't eat too much chocolate!) and an enjoyable holiday!
Mrs Debbie Head
Principal Rlg Delroy Campus
A reminder to Parents/Carers
We invite all parents/carers to speak with staff at anytime. However, we do ask
that you make an appointment to avoid any delays or unavailability of the
particular staff member you wish to see. Thank you for your consideration.

College celebrates 10th Get Real ceremony
Dubbo College marked the 10th Get Real ceremony with a celebration assembly at Senior Campus. More than 230
Year 10 students from South and Delroy Campuses signed the pledge board signifying their intention to be in full-time
education, undertaking industry training or in full-time employment by their 17th birthday.
The annual ceremony forms an important basis for future employment, promoting the need for students to establish
defined education and career goals before they reach leaving age.
Dubbo College has worked with a local business partnership in developing the Get Real program and is grateful for the
ongoing support of Fletcher International Exports, the Daily Liberal, Dubbo City Council, Bridgewater Signs and Dubbo
Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
During today’s ceremony the Year 10 cohort heard from previous College students and graduates of the Get Real
program. Guest speakers included former College captain and current youth engagement officer at Headspace Esther
Mines and former captain and current community liaison officer for Apollo House Lionel Wood.
The ceremony was also addressed by Senior Campus Principal Andrew Jones, who told the Year 10 students they were
not alone.
“You have the support of your school and your community,” he said, “the support of the Dubbo business community, the
education community, local politicians and your families and friends.
“It is up to you as individuals to make the most of what is provided for you and make the commitment to your future.
“Once you have commitment you then need the discipline and hard work to get you there.
“Your commitment, your discipline and your hard work with community support is what will define you as a person and
the future you choose.”
Delroy Campus captains Sharika-Marrie Howard and Austin Heller led students in the Get Real pledge, while
South Campus captains Emily Crampton and Ethan Hughes gave the response.

Canberra show report 2015
On the 26th of February 24 students from
Delroy travelled to Canberra to show
sheep at the Royal Canberra Show. The
trip down went smoothly with parents
and students pitching in to ensure a
smooth getaway. Some of the students
were on their second trip to Canberra
whilst for many students it was their first
time to the Nation’s capital. Once again
the students showed sheep from
Mr Piper’s Belowrie White Dorper stud.
Outstanding results were achieved,
taking out every class they were entered
in, culminating in taking out Champion
and reserve White Dorper ram and ewe.
One of the rams also took out his age
class in the interbreed section and gained
reserve champion short wool ram,
against some strong competition. Most
students competed in their handler’s and
junior judging classes and despite some
nerves they all performed very well. One
standout performance was that of
Maree Pobje who came 4th out of 70
students in the 14 to 15yrs age class.
This also resulted in Maree placing 5th overall out of 120 students. This is an outstanding effort as this was Maree’s first
attempt at judging and she would be the first to admit that sheep are not high on her list of favourite animals. Maybe after
this result they have moved up a rung.
Whilst in Canberra the students also enjoyed the views from Telstra Tower, toured around Parliament house and enjoyed
time at the show, going on rides and seeing the fireworks as well as all the other associated features that come with a show of
this magnitude.
Overall the trip was highly successful and Mr Piper received excellent feedback from other exhibitors about how well
behaved and helpful the Delroy students were. This is always pleasing feedback when it comes from members of the public
and Mr Piper would also like to personally congratulate the students on their efforts, the parents for their help and finally
Mrs Budden for her excellent assistance. Practice will commence in early term two for the upcoming Dubbo Show which is
on from the 15th to 17th of May. Parents, friends etc. are encouraged to come down and see the Delroy show team in action.

SCIENCE and ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
The Science and engineering challenge was held again at the Dubbo racecourse this year. On the 10 th of March Delroy took
a team of 30 students to compete against the other schools in the Western region. At half time an announcement was made
that Delroy was in the lead by points. However, due to the closeness of the scores we were no longer in the lead by the end
of the day. One of our groups won the electricity activity and the other groups all put in outstanding efforts in the catapult,
bridge building, ecohabitech, water supply, mars lander and earthquake proof buildings. The students had to build structures
to survive the problems they were given. I was extremely proud of all the competitors and would gladly take them all again
in the future. Thanks again to the University of Newcastle and the Rotary Club for the organisation of such a fantastic day.

GOLD LEVEL EXCURSION FUND RAISING BBQ
On Saturday 1st March students, parents and staff were involved in a BBQ at
Aldi to raise money for the Gold Excursion to the Entrance in Term 4. The
members of the PB4L team would like to thank all the people who supported this
fundraising event and especially to Aldi who supplied all of the resources.
This BBQ enabled us to raise $530, which was extremely pleasing. There will
also be another fundraising BBQ at a later date to raise further funds for the Gold
Excursion.

Dubbo College Open Girls Cricket Report
The Dubbo College Open Girls Cricket team took on Wellington High in round one of the Marie Cornish CHS competition.
The team put in a great performance on the day given that only two girls had played competitive cricket before.
Dubbo College won the toss and elected to bowl first. Some excellent catching and bowling saw Wellington out for 104.
Chloe Ahern 4-14, Nicole Kelly 1-15 and Kyla Wilson 2-10 all bowled well for the team. Gabby Magner-Pollard and
Lilli Campbell did great jobs as wicket keepers. Dakota Newman and Haylee Burton took some great catches also.
In reply Dubbo College lost wickets through-out the early overs against a strong Wellington bowling attack. Unfortunately
after 15 overs a major thunder storm hit the ground with hail. As a result the game could not continue with Dubbo College
8-54. Wellington High being determined the winner after the two coaches consulted. Chloe Ahern was the standout with
the bat scoring 35 not out including five boundaries. back: Gabby Magner-Pollard (Senior), Dakota Newman (Delroy),
Lilli Campbell and Kyla Wilson were the equal second
Raissa Starr (Senior), Caitlin Acheson (Senior), Peggy Sue-Langlo
best run scorers.
(Delroy), Nicole Kelly (Delroy), Chloe Ahern (South)
The team were great ambassadors for the Dubbo College
with the Wellington coach commending them on the way
they played the game. And given 10 girls are in year 9 or
below there is potential for some success in girls cricket in
coming years.
Congratulations to Chloe Ahern who was selected in the
Western area CHS girls cricket team that competed in
Armidale at the NSW CHS championships. The team
finished seventh out of ten teams. Chloe made several
valuable contributions with both the bat and ball throughout the carnival.

HSIE Happenings…..
Year 10 Geography Excursion
On Tuesday 3rd March, a group of Year 10 students went on excursion to the John Gilbert
Water Treatment Plant located in South Dubbo and to Whylandra Waste Management
Depot. The excursion was to fulfil outcomes set by the Board of Studies and complements
class work undertaken in Geography on issues that concern all Australians.
At the John Gilbert Water Treatment Plant students learnt how water is filtered and cleaned
before it reaches our taps.
At the Whylandra Waste Management Depot students witnessed the process of managing
rubbish produced by Dubbo residents only and its environmental impacts.
The excursion was very successful and all students enjoyed it.
I would like to thank, and congratulate our students who participated on the excursion for their excellent learning attitude
and behaviour. I would also like to thank Dubbo City Council staff at both centres for their remarkable service and for
guiding us through the centres.

ABORIGINAL GIRLS CIRCLE CAMP
The first camp for 2015 was held at the end of Feb. The girls focused on ‘Respect –
Working Together’ and looked at the many ways that this can be achieved while
having fun and engaging in many activities. Time was also spent discussing/
brainstorming for our project ‘Random Acts of Kindness’.
Some thoughts from the girls about the camp and Girls Circle:
“I learnt that you do not need to over react to little things”
“It is a privilege to be part of Girls Circle. There is so much stuff that’s fun and you
learn a lot from the projects.” – Hayley Smith
“Doing a Random Act of Kindness makes you feel good about yourself and might
make a person’s day” – Taneka Todhunter
“Respect plays a massive part in everyone’s life!” – Krystal Dallinger.
“I am going to think about helping people.”
“The best thing about the camp was being able to work with a lot of different groups
and to get to know each other”
“Two things I learnt at the camp were: laughing with people is better than laughing at
people, and your friends are everything.” – Jahnesta Carriage.
“Learning new things to take home and teach or tell them about it.”
“The best thing about the camp was bonding and having fun” – Natalie Gardoll
“Teamwork is a big thing especially when you are in a group”
“I learnt that I am not as shy as I thought.”
“I am going to think about being a better person and a good role model.”
Thank you for a wonderful camp. You girls were awesome!
