School News Student Leaders' Excursion to Parliament
Last Wednesday, our school captains, Alyssa Denyer and Tejai Threadgate, a ended the
NSW Schools Leaders Program in Sydney. This involved visi ng NSW Parliament House and
listening to Members of Parliament from various par es speak and give some excellent
advice about life and leadership. Mark Latham, newly elected for One Na on, reminded
students to never give up, not to be afraid of being in the minority, and to have fun in their
role. All poli cians stressed the camaraderie between members of parliament, regardless
of which poli cal party they belong to, and the member for Hollsworthy noted that there
was a "what happens on the field stays on the field" approach to the riot of ques on me.
The member for Coogee stressed the rela onship between leadership and community
service, the member for Bankstown reminded students that good leaders look out for
others, especially with the rise in mental health issues in young people, and Steph Cooke
spoke very strongly about the importance of young leaders in the bush and she argued
that "value" should not be based on popula on or the bush would always lose. There were
many other very helpful pieces of advice which would make this newsle er piece too long!
A erwards, students walked to Government House to meet the new Governor, Her
Excellency The Honourable Margaret Beazley AO QC, who also had some great anecdotes
and advice. She spoke to our captains in a small group and seemed very interested in
visi ng our area some me in the new year, with her ADC showing great enthusiasm for
the Temora Air Shows. Her Excellency stressed that when we see problems, it's always best
to approach them with possible solu ons instead of merely complaining.
Overall, our students were a credit to our school and enjoyed interac ng with other young
leaders from the many city and country schools represented.

PSSA District Netball
The girls have been extremely busy with two days out in the first two weeks of Term 2.
Week 1 saw the girls a end the Western Riverina Netball Trials and play together for the
first me. It was quite amazing watching the girls bond and begin to work together as a
team so quickly. We saw some very talented netball on the court which our girls matched
with skill, knowledge and teamwork. Sixty‐seven girls all over Western Riverina a ended
these trials and we had four of our ten members make the Possibles and Probables ‐ an
incredible achievement. Congratula ons and good luck to Sophie Male from Barellan
Central School and Georgia McCormack from Ariah Park Central on your selec on to a end
the next round of trials later in May.
School's Cup Carnival was held in Week 2 and the girls played against a variety of teams
from Wagga schools. The girls played six games of quality netball throughout the day,
winning five out of the six. They had to adapt their normal games at mes, coming up
against much taller opponents and boys in a number of the teams. They did this extremely
well and have now made it on to the next level of the tournament in August.
Over the two days full of netball the girls represented themselves, their schools and our
district with pride. They were a fun bunch to spend me with and a pleasure to coach.

Netball Round 3 Jets v’s Griffith White
Under 11’s– No game
Under 13’s
It was an extremely close game by under 13’s today against Griffith White. All the girls played
very well making all the Mums very proud for the Mother’s Day match. The sun was shining
and so were the girls with Olivia Mills star ng strong in defence with plenty of nice intercepts.
Elsie Furphy also showed great defensive work holding the Whites out as much as possible
and with some great shoo ng by Jo Bray and Georgia McCormack we had a nice half me
lead of 5 goals. With a quick shuffle from both teams at half me Griffith made good headway
in the third and with best efforts from Tully Gaynor and Sophie Dart to hold them out in the
final quarter, Griffith snuck up on us and took the win 19 to 18. A very compe ve match the
girls should be proud of. Award winners today were “Players Player” (Beckom Hotel $5
canteen award) went to Elsie Furphy. Best on court Ariah Park Bowling Club $10 award went
to Olivia Mills.
Under 15’s*Under 15’s had two games today
Game 1 15's went down to Griffith White 38‐9; they were just too tall and didn't seem to
miss goal opportuni es! There were lots of posi ves to take away, however. The girls held
their leads, con nually found good space and kept White's from scoring as many goals in the
second half. The $10 Ariah Park Bowling Club award went to Paige Brown, for her
dependability and shoo ng accuracy. The $5 Beckom Hotel Canteen Award went to Sarah
Speirs, for her asser ve and improved defence.
Game 2 was against Griffith Silver, the girls were again determined and gracious in defeat,
going down 43‐17. The score didn't reflect the quality of the game, and it was fantas c to see
the U15's demonstra ng a new degree of pa ence and composure under pressure, especially
through the centre court. The girls, especially Kate O'Dwyer, were courageous in the face of
some very lively defence from Griffith and pa ent in working the ball around the a acking
half. The $10 Ariah Park Bowling Club award went to Brooke Denyer, for her solid defence in
the goal circle. The $5 Beckom Hotel Canteen Award went to Maddy Cassidy, for her excellent
court coverage and a acking play.
