It is exciting news that Henbury School has funding confirmed to build a new
school. This is so important for our students as they move towards their
secondary education: they will have first class facilities! As a member of the
project development group for Henbury I visited 8 special schools in
Melbourne and Adelaide recently. I learnt a lot and had confirmed that
Nemarluk School has excellent facilities that are expertly designed for our
students, staff and the Darwin context. Exciting times ahead for Henbury!
We had special visitors last week: Monte, the assistance dog, and Patricia, his
trainer from Smart Pups Assistance Dogs (www.smartpups.org.au). Monte
came to show off what he can do and Patricia came to find out what our school
needs. Yes, we are going to have one of these special dogs at our school
through the generosity of Tony Burns, Amy Brady and the John Maclean
Foundation. We will have to wait a year
for our pup to be trained so it meets
our needs—a very clever dog!
Don’t forget the parent workshop and
Assembly - see included information.
See you there.

The afternoon Preschool Group had a wonderful afternoon
visiting Alawa Farm at the end of last term. Our first
excursion outside the school gates went off without a hitch!
We all enjoyed walking across the oval and into the farm. We
saw some scarecrows, vegetables growing and all the animals
in the farm. It was fun feeding the chickens, ducks, calves
and goats.
Some students from Alawa School fetched Tinkerbell (one of
the goats) for us to pat and feed. Dixon and Charlie had a
great time feeding her some
juicy green leaves. Seth
patted a chicken and
Christopher fed it. Julian
enjoyed watching it all from
the outskirts.
We had a fun time out!!

An energetic bunch of seniors took off on their adventure to Batchelor in week 1. They spent 3 days of fun doing the rock wall, the high ropes, low ropes, canoeing, snorkelling, archery, bike riding, trampoline, disco and lots of other activities in between. All students took on the role of looking after themselves and their gear well and behaved very responsibly throughout the camp. Lots of new and scary things were conquered by everyone as they took on the high ropes and flying fox and the challenge of learning how to canoe.

Room 13’s Senior Students collect, count and tally coins
for Biniam, Nemarluk’s sponsored child, who lives in
Ethiopia.
———-
We have decided to donate $50 from the sale of our Christmas Cards to Biniam this term. Biniam benefits from all the money we send him and we are happy to be able to give back to someone
less fortunate. This has been a great learning for us about giving back to the community.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< But, please keep sending in any coins you have spare for us to
count and tally and then send to our friend, Biniam. Thank you!!!!
