IMPORTANT DATES

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you to the many people who contributed to the P&C

Show Kiosk whether it be serving or providing food for sale.

Congratulations to staff, students and parents who placed items

in the Wye Pavilion. It was rewarding to see the

acknowledgment of talent of so many of our school community.

Special mention must go to Miss Atkinson and the Nyngan PS

gardening team.

Miss Atkinson and Mrs Lennon are preparing to take Maternity

Leave in preparation of the arrival of their babies. On Monday

we welcome Miss Karina Murphy to our teaching staff. Miss

Murphy will spend the week working with Miss Atkinson in

preparation to take over the teaching of Year 1. Such transition

encourages continuity of content for our students. Miss Murphy

is looking forward to meeting many parents at PLP meetings on

Monday.

Mrs Bright and Mrs McInerney will be relieving Mrs Lennon

when she commences her maternity leave later in the term.

Congratulations to our team of cross country runners who took

part in the NYNGBAR Cross Country carnival at Hermidale

today.

I would encourage parents to provide feedback regarding our

2020 school shirt. To date all correspondence has been positive.

As of Thursday 30th

of May, steps will be taken to prepare

orders for the 2020 school year.

At the P&C meeting on Tuesday night a motion was passed to

change the day and time of the P&C meeting. The next P&C

Meeting will be on THURSDAY 21ST

of June at the Nyngan

RSL Bowlers Bar, commencing at 6pm.

Walkways

Walking past others happens every day at NPS. The expectations are to walk to the left in two

lines, bags belong up and move quietly.

We encourage you to have a conversation with your children at home about the week’s focus.

Question the right behaviour and ask them about this week’s lesson to promote a home to

school connection of information.

emotional skills. It might be worth having a conversation with your children about some skills

they are learning.

Stage 1- Listening to learn; Focusing attention

Stage 2- Being a respectful learner; Using self- talk

Stage 3- Empathy and respect; Listening with attention

COMMUNITY NEWS

NYNGAN NETSETGO

You’re young, you’re small, and you’ve got energy to burn. It’s time to play netball with Suncorp NetSetGO. Suncorp NetSetGO is Australia’s official starter program for girls and boys aged 5 to 10. It’s a chance to learn the netball basics, get outside and make some friends. For a lot of kids, this is the first time they’ll pick up a netball or chuck on a bib. It’s a learning experience. And a lot of fun. Suncorp NetSetGO is divided up into three tiers: Net, Set and GO. You’ll pick up lots of netball skills. One week it might be passing drills and ball games, next it could be shooting and practice matches. All Suncorp NetSetGO sessions are led by a friendly netball coach, using equipment built specially for kids. Over the program, you’ll learn a bunch of stuff.

How to throw, pass and catch a netball. How to take off and land safely. How to pivot and change direction. The mysterious art of goal shooting. Some basic movement skills and techniques. Why teamwork is so important. How to play fair, respect your umpire and have fun. This year’s NetSetGo coaches are Bec Smith and Margot Elder. It will be held Thursday afternoons from 4.00pm to 5.00pm at the netball grass courts at Larkin Oval. The cost is $80.00 with registrations needing to be completed online with Netball NSW through the netball link or through the My Netball App under the Nyngan Netball Association. For further information, you can contact Bec Smith on 0488 422 770. If you have any questions or need help with registrations, please contact Jodi Douglas on 0429 334 995.
