Jack Gould was placed third in his division

at the recent PSSA Cross Country

Championships held in Deniliquin.

Well done Jack!

SECONDARY CROSS

COUNTRY

Three of our secondary

students performed well in the

Riverina Cross Country in

Gundagai on Friday

14 June 2012.

Zachary Love, Hannah Collins

and Corey Whitmore all

qualified for the State Cross

Country event which will be

held in Eastern Creek in July.

Well done to these students.

We are in the last fortnight of term and I must say that it has felt like a term full of all sorts of

events.

We have had visits from Coolamon Central School, Tumut High School, Wagga Wagga High School

and Kooringal High School and our debaters have really acquitted themselves well. Congratulations

to all those involved and to Miss O'Loughlan and Miss Tofa for their background work with these

teams. Thank you also to Mrs Cooper and Mrs Leeson for their adjudication of debates.

We have had a number of students achieve selection for state competition in the last week and

they also need to be congratulated on their efforts as well.

I have had the great pleasure to read reports for students in Kindergarten to Year 10 over the last

fortnight and I have been very pleased to read about the really positive advances being made by the

overwhelming majority of students in our school. The HOW2Learn dispositions are really impacting

across the curriculum and building the capacity of our students and staff.

One of the things that has come up in reading reports, is the importance of students being at school

and in class as often as is possible, and when in class the need to complete all set learning to best of

one's ability.

I would also like to reinforce the notion of deadlines, particularly with reference to excursion

payments. The school doesn't impose such deadlines to create difficulties but to enhance and

improve our organisation. If for some reason you feel you can't meet such a deadline you should

contact me at the school, however, I will reinforce once again no monies will be accepted for extra-

curricula activities after the due date unless a prior arrangement has been made.

I have to inform the community that unfortunately we had insufficient support for our proposed

2014 Japanese trip and therefore we will not proceed at this stage. We will investigate offering

another EOI at a later date.

The “Scoop” is available through our website, the school app and via email and we are a little

concerned about the number that we print. Elsewhere in his edition we are requesting information

from those who still wish to receive a hard copy of “Scoop”. It is our intention to only print copies

of “Scoop” for those who request it directly by returning the relevant slip.

Please enjoy what remains of the term, have a relaxing winter break and we will look forward to

seeing you all again next term.

Michael Rathborne

Principal

The capacity to learn is a gift;

The ability to learn is a skill;

The willingness to learn is a choice.

Resourcefulness is when learners are ready, willing and able to choose and use

resources wisely... Know what to do, when they don’t know what to do.

Resourcefulness might look like making connections or asking a friend when playing games or learning about

something tricky.

KINDERGARTEN 2014 INFORMATION SESSION TUESDAY 25 JUNE 2013 An information session and afternoon tea for all parents and children enrolling their child at school in 2014

will be held on Tuesday 25 June 2013 at 4.00 pm. We look forward to discussing the wonderful opportunities

that we can provide for your child at Batlow Technology School.

This week we will be learning about

different foods from New Zealand. In

our kitchen classes, we will be making

Kumara Soup.

Capitalise... Come prepared with

some knowledge you have found out

about New Zealand. Let’s learn from

each other!

ENGLISH NEWS

The last month has been a busy one for the English/Drama department.

Drama students from Years 9 and 10 travelled to Sydney to watch a

performance called “Forget me not” at Belvoir Theatre. Belvoir is situated

in the heart of the city and is one of Australia’s innovative and acclaimed

theatre companies. Belvoir gave the students a tour of the theatre and

students had the opportunity to ask the actors question after the show.

Abbie Melrose competed in the Sydney Morning Herald Public Speaking competition

in Albury. She did a great job with her speech educating her audience about diabetes.

Congratulations to all students who represented themselves, the school and

community with pride.

The senior debating team have completed all their rounds of the

Premier Debating Challenge for 2013. The students did an amazing job

at speaking and rebutting arguments throughout the competition.

Jessica Boxsell, Lilly Kirkby, Sjoukje Vanderland and Erin Cotsios have

been debating together since Year 7 and should be commended for

hard work, dedication and commitment.
