From the Principal
Dear Parents and Members of the School Community,
We are now four weeks into Term Two of the 2016 school
year. We have started the term with a positive vibe within the
school and we are all really excited to be participating in our
Cross Country this Friday. It will be an afternoon of fun and
‘having a go” at running long distances and I congratulate all
the students who have been training really hard with Ms Pettit
before school as well as with their class to be super prepared
for this challenging event.
Our extremely active P&C are busy preparing cupcakes,
biscuits, soup and cakes for the District Cross Country on
Friday May 27 as well as finding volunteers to make and sell
donuts at the exciting Kookaburras vs Great Britain hockey
match in Narrogin on May 21 and May 22. Please see Jo
Thomas (P&C President) for more information on how you
can help be involved in raising money for our school.
We are waiting in anticipation for 9 new student laptops for
classroom use. This will allow students to access computer
time more effectively.
Congratulations to Ben Jones for being nominated as School
Board Chair. On behalf of the School Board I would like to
acknowledge the strong commitment of Lisa Bradford and
Renae Shepherdson for all the valuable decision making and
contributions they have made in improving our school over
the years. Both ladies have resigned from their positions.
Welcome back to Mrs Webster from long service leave and
we are sure you are looking forward to the remainder of a
busy Term 2!!

Behaviour Expectations

Our school leaders and also Duty Staff will be looking
out for students who are using good manners.
Attendance!!!!
We would like to remind parents and caregivers that it is a
Legal Requirement to make sure that your child attends
school each day and that the school will need a sick note
with a reasonable excuse if your child is absent. Part of my
role for 2016 on a Monday and Wednesday is to follow up
on student absences and to work closely with our
Aboriginal Education Officers and do some home visits
during the week. Any parent from our school that does not
have a reasonable excuse for their child’s absence will be
contacted by the school to provide a reasonable excuse for
their child’s absence. We are also working closely with
KAATA and our school representatives to make sure that
students attend regularly.

Behaviour and Participation Administrator
Kookaburras Vs Great Brittan Raffle
We are raffling 4 adult tickets to the
International hockey game on Saturday
22 May 2016 at 2.30pm.
Tickets can be purchased from Room 9 before school or
at lunchtime.
Tickets only $1.00 each!
Raffle drawn on Friday 20 May.
All money raised will go towards the Year 6 camp.
WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL
Friday 20 May, 2016
On Friday 20 May, we are encouraging students and
their families to walk safely to school (or bus stop).
Walking to school is a great way to replace short car
trips, which is better for the environment.
We would like to see as many students and their
families walk part or all the way to school (or bus stop)
on this day. It is strongly recommended that
students walking and cycling to school aged 10
years and under are accompanied by a parent or
carer.
A good reason to participate:
✩
If we all changed just one or two car trips a week
to active transport, such as walking, cycling, we
could reduce traffic congestion and air pollution
while saving money, improving our health and
the safety of our children.
The most important message for the students is that
walking is free, it’s better for the environment and it
keeps our bodies fit and healthy!
Upon arrival at school, students are invited to Breakfast
Club in the undercover area. Prizes and stickers will be
handed out to lucky participants.

Thank you to Ebony Rogers and Laura Windsor for your
help and support in the canteen.

your school uniform for the coming cold months. They are
available from the canteen for $6.00, for the girls and the
guys.
For the girls, we have fleecy lined fashioned slacks for
$30.00 to help keep you warm.
Ros Boothey, Canteen Manager
From The Uniform Shop

ENPS P&C and ITalkTravel Narrogin alignment
The ENPS P&C have aligned with ITalkTravel on
Fortune St Narrogin to help raise funds for the
P&C and also keep business local when booking
