Term 3 - Week 9 / Week B

Firstly, I would like to say what a tremendous

success our Year 4 visit with Sydney Grammar

school was. There were many people involved in

the organisation, however, a special

congratulations must go to Marcus Geale for his

enthusiasm and commitment to ensure it was an

exciting and engaging experience by both groups

of students.

This week is a very busy one for Lake Cargelligo

Central School. Kinder to Year 2 travelled to Griffith

today for “Carnival of the Animals” and our

Aboriginal leadership group were involved in the

Proud and Deadly Awards in Griffith. Parent

Teacher interviews are on Tuesday afternoon in the

school hall for secondary, and classrooms for K-6.

This time interviews can be scheduled on-line via

the school portal – http://web1.lakecargel-

Year 11 exams start this week, and finish on Friday

16th September. When not in an exam, students

are required to attend the library, where they will be

supervised during their study and revision time.

Year 6 are in Canberra for the week, a wonderful

and educational experience. Thanks to Ms

Brammich and Mr Szota for providing them with

this opportunity.

There are pre-school visits this week, as well as

ear testing and a spelling bee in Griffith on

Thursday.

PRIMARY NEWS

What a busy week we have had in Primary! On Wednesday all students had their school photos taken and it was great to see so many students in their full school uniforms. Year 4 were lucky to have Sydney Boys Grammar students visit for three days to complete workshops on various cultural experiences and Creative Arts aspects. The performances at the Music Concert on Thursday night showcased the rich learning which took place and all students and staff involved should be congratulated. Thank you Mrs Sanson for organising a Dahl-ightful Book Week celebration on Friday full of wonderful and entertaining Roald Dahl based activities. All the students looked fabulous dressed as their favourite literary characters and were very entertaining presenting their items at our Book Week Assembly. K-2 students were today treated to a wonderful day out at the Griffith Theatre to enjoy ”Carnival of the Animals”. We also farewelled our Year 6 students early this morning as they embarked on their Year



6 excursion to Canberra. We look forward to hearing all about their experiences when they return. A reminder that Lake Cargelligo Central School will be hosting Parent Teacher Interviews tomorrow, Tuesday 13th September.

Western Region Athletics

In rain soaked and windy conditions, on Friday 2nd September, Joel Golding, Cameron Geale, Ashton Kendall, Nicolas Martin, Ryder Smith, Ella Waters, Azaya Norris, Reagan Golding, Billy Limbrick, Samuel Chamen, Emilio Dutton, Ruby Hall and Aden Beetson represented our school at the Western Region athletics carnival. The junior boys and seniors boys relay both made it to the finals but unfortunately did not place. However, Joel Golding came third in the discus and has gained entry into the state carnival. Well done to all our athletes, who despite the conditions they competed with enthusiasm.

Marcus Geale Sydney Grammar visit

Last week students from Sydney Grammar Preparatory school visited Lake Cargelligo. They spent time with our Year 4 students and students from Saint Francis Xavier School. Whilst they were here they visited the ochre pits, learnt some Wiradjuri language, learnt a creation dance, created some bush poetry and painted using the ochre from the ochre pits. The finale was a concert where the three schools collaborated and performed the acts they had been practising during the visit and leading up to the visit. The concert was a huge success and we would like to thank all the parents and the community who attended the night. There are plans to visit Sydney Grammar next year at their school in Edgecliff. We hope this is the beginning of a long term partnership with this school.

Ag Vision Careers On Wednesday the 7th September Eliza Green, Natalie Glover and Miss Ireland travelled to Junee to participate in Ag Vision – an agiculture careers day. Each student had to select 6 workshops that they would be interested in attending prior to the day. Students had the opportunity to select from upwards of 50 career workshops in varying specialties, including Agronomists, shearers, wool technicians, Livestock sales, just to name a few. Students spent about 40 minutes listening to and asking questions of professionals in specific careers. Both students found the workshops beneficial and mentioned they would like to attend again next year and have a look at different careers to the ones they experienced this year. Tara Jane Ireland China excursion On Saturday morning we held a sausage sizzle at the front of Fisho’s Hotbake. We would like to thank everyone that came down and helped support us, as we are off to China in just over a week’s time. We would like to say a special thank you to Fisho’s Hotbake, Shane’s Butchery and Smith’s Foodworks for all the donations. Lainie Johnson and Meg Stenhouse Show Team News On Friday 9th September, Miss Ireland took 7 students to Forbes Show to participate in Junior Judging competitions. These included Grain Judging (Wheat, Barley, Canola), Fruit and Vegetable Judging (Apples, Pears, Tomatoes), Fleece Judging, Meat Sheep Judging and Merino Sheep Judging. The students had only competed in this one other time at the Merino Wether Challenge in Dubbo, so this was again a daunting task for them.



The students were in a much more relaxed atmosphere where they got to judge each section for as long as they wanted and they could ask the overjudge questions at any time. At the conclusion of all the students judging each section, a top 12 was selected to orally present their judging selections. All students orally presented in the Fruit and Vegetable and Grain Sections. Tegan Richardson was selected to orally present in the fleece judging. Ebony Turner and Natalie Glover were selected to speak in the Merino Sheep judging and Eliza Green and Mandy Stenhouse were selected to speak in the Meat Sheep Judging. All students presented well and were congratulated on their effort by the overjudges. After all the students had completed their oral presentations, the overjudge went on to explain why they selected the order they selected and presented ribbons and prizemoney to the top 3 students. Congratulations to Meg Preston who received 3rd for Grain Judging, Natalie Glover who received 2nd for Merino Sheep Judging, Mandy Stenhouse who received 3rd in Meat Sheep Judging and Eliza Green who received 1st in the Meat Sheep Judging.
