Eisteddfod Excitement: I spent this morning along
with many of our parents and those from other Broken
Hill schools witnessing the junior and senior choirs at
the Eisteddfod. What a magnificent showcase of
talented students led by talented and dedicated teachers
from across the town. Although I attempted to remain
fair minded and without bias it was very difficult. It was
clearly evident all schools were there for the tradition
and fun of performance and did their schools and
teachers proud. There was quite a variety of songs in
the performances and I was truly excited for the Junior
Choir when it was announced that they had come
second in their competition. I saw them as they were leaving and they were so proud of
themselves. Our Senior Choir then sang the house down – a true choral performance
and they looked and sounded professional. It would have been hard to deny them first
place, after such an exceptional performance. The adjudicator then announced that
Morgan Street Senior Choir won the perpetual trophy donated by the Broken Hill
Philharmonic Orchestra. Congratulations to the students and the teachers who put so
much into todays preparations and performance.
On another note for Creative Arts please take note of the link (in blue) on the next page
of the newsletter. It will allow you to purchase tickets for the Far West Talent Festival
which will showcase many of the regions schools in one extravaganza. This concert will
be held on three occasions over two days and if this morning is an indication it will be
fantastic.
P&C meeting tonight: with our fete creeping closer and Father’s day breakfast even
closer there will be plenty to discuss. All are welcome to come and have a say at 7.00 pm
in the staff common room. Today a P&C fundraiser catalogue will be coming home.
Flicking through it I can see there are many early Christmas present ideas to be
considered.
We also have an entry form for the SILVER CITY GARDEN CLUB 2015
Competition, available at the front office for all those keen gardeners. The general
section closing date is 2nd September and roses closing on 1st October 2015.

Book Week Award Winners
Congratulations
Perfect weather graced us for our Book Week
parade, assembly and buddy read-in on Tuesday
18th August. Students and teachers came dressed
as their favourite book characters. Wally seemed
to be the most popular costume choice, especially
as all the teachers dressed as Wally characters.
See how many Wally’s you can find in the whole
school photo below…
The senior choir had to change the song they had
prepared at the last minute and did a beautiful job
with Mrs Dougherty conducting and Mrs Harris
accompanying them on the piano.
2GK recited their Eisteddfod poem and did a
fantastic job remembering such a long poem.
They used lots of expression and portrayed their
characters convincingly.
The Library Monitors read a favourite bedtime
story under the covers at night with a light - a
habit many students might be guilty of!
Mrs Winders spoke about our new automated
library system, Oliver, which was established in
our library this week and is the library searching
tool that all students will need to learn about in
the coming weeks. The P&C were also thanked
for their fundraising efforts for our library this
year as it is their major fundraising focus for 2015.
Another new feature in our library this term is an
online book catalogue, Redgum Book Club, that
we are trialling.
KK & KS enjoying their milo days last week! Big thanks to the parent helpers who came along!
Year 1 letters went out last week, so parents please help if you can! Thanks

Lifeline Broken Hill celebrates National Op Shop Week
National Op Shop Week 2015 will take place from Sunday Aug 23rd to Aug 30th. National Op Shop week is an event that
everyone in Broken Hill can take part in. It starts at home. Doing a spring clean, decluttering your wardrobe and donating
unwanted items to the Lifeline Broken Hill Op Shop, you’re doing your part in helping the Broken Hill community.
Lifeline Broken Hill relies heavily on the income derived from the Op Shop in order to continue to deliver free services and
programs to the community. So during National Op Shop Week we encourage everyone to take some time and go through
their household and donate goods and items that they no longer need or come and fossick through the Lifeline shop for
some retail therapy for a good cause. To celebrate National Op Shop Week, all pre-loved winter clothing is now HALF
price.
All proceeds stay locally helping local people in need.
