Junee North Public School

Principal’s report

Sport galore!

Over the past few weeks we have had many of our

students participating in a variety of school, district and

Riverina sporting events. While we have had lots of

success in many of these sports, the thing that always

makes me proud is the wonderful enthusiasm,

teamwork and sportsmanship displayed by Junee

North children. Read more about these later in this

newsletter.

Indigenous workshops

Today and tomorrow all classes will be involved in a

series of exciting workshops with guest presenter Mark

Saddler. Mark will share his knowledge and skills with

each class in a fun-filled session of aboriginal song,

dance, art and craft. Lots more stories and photos in

our next newsletter.

K-2 excursion

Our K-2 children got to have a very special outing last

Wednesday when they travelled to the Civic Theatre,

followed by a picnic in the Botanical Gardens. I have

included some great photos and recounts written by

some of the children in 1/2W about their special day.

Thank you boys and girls for your beautiful behaviour

on the day.

Junee High School Production

Next Thursday our students get the opportunity to

view the Junee High School production, ‘To Have and

to Hold.’ A reminder that permission notes and money

($3) are due by next Tuesday. Let’s give our support to

the talented Junee High students.

P&C raffle

A reminder that our P&C are holding a wood raffle

outside IGA this Saturday. Thank you to those parents

who have volunteered a little of their time to help sell

tickets. If you can spare an hour to help out, please

contact Natasha Harpley at school.

Reminders…………

Medical Updates -

Many of our families would have received letters

regarding updating their child’s medical status and

health care plans. We cannot stress how important

having correct, up-to-date information is to us. In

order for us to provide the best possible care for your

child in the event of a medical emergency, please

ensure these plans and other information is returned

by next week.

Paper-less newsletter from Term 3

From Term 3 our newsletter will be available via our

website, our Skoolbag app or email (email request

form attached – needs to be returned by the end of

this term). Limited copies only will be available from

the office.

Junee High Production

A reminder that the Junee High School production is

being held next Thusday. Permission notes and $3

entry need to be returned by next Tuesday.

Stage 2 & 3 excursions

Deposits ($100) are due by Friday 27 June. No late

deposits will be accepted as payments for

accommodation must be finalised.

Thumbs up!

To all of our sporting representatives this term. We

have achieved some amazing successes – but more

importantly, their sportsmanship, enthusiasm and

fantastic attitudes have made us proud. Well done!

Sports News

State hockey for Riley!

A huge congratulations to Riley Makeham! Riley has

been selected in the Boy’s Riverina hockey squad to

compete at the state championships. Riley will travel to

Sydney to compete at the state championships from

June 24 – 26.

Well done Riley – we are very proud of you. Good luck!

Girls’ basketball

Our girls basketball team travelled to Temora last week

to compete in the first round of the PSSA knockout.

Many of our girls had never played before and it was a

credit to all of them how well they played and the

enthusiasm displayed. Unfortunately Temora were too

strong in the end, winning 29 – 17. Great effort girls.

Great effort girls!

Girls’ soccer

What a fantastic effort from our girls’ soccer team last

Thursday. In their second round of the NSW PSSA

Knockout they had a resounding win of 6 to 0 goals

defeating Young North Public School. Once again

great teamwork, a never-give-up attitude and some

talented play was on display. The girls now wait to find

out which team they will play in Round 3.

District Athletics

Last Tuesday our team over 40 athletes travelled to

Cootamundra to compete in the District PSSA Athletics

carnival. All students competed with tremendous

effort, with many successes and personal bests

achieved. A special congratulations to Nick Hogarth (1st

10 yr boys champion); Kye Wright (2nd

10 yr boys

champion); Tahlia White (2nd

1o yr girls champion) and

Brooke Harpley (3rd

Senior girls champion). We are still

waiting to see which of our students have been

successful in making it into the district team. These

students will compete in the Riverina Athletics carnival

on 23 June at Albury.

Well done Nick and Kye – 10 year age champion and

runner up.


Riverina Cross Country

On Tuesday 7 of our cross country champions travelled

all the way to Deniliquin to compete in the Riverina

Cross Country as part of the Cootamundra District

team. Over 500 students were competing on the day

from all over the Riverina. All of our runners produced

outstanding results and should be extremely proud of

themselves. Results were:

Maggie Hawke – 39 (8/9 yr girls)

Jaxson Allen – 15 (8/9 yr boys)

Tahlia White – 13 (10 yr girls)

Nick Hogarth – 18 (10 yr boys)

Kye Wright – 19 (10 yr boys)

Grace Fahy – 33 (11 yr girls)

Arianne Crowley – 35 (11 yr girls)

What’s happening in our school?

Year 4 get a ‘taste’ of high school

How very lucky were our Year 4 students recently! For

the first time Junee High School organised a special

‘taster’ session, giving our Year 4 children a taste of

some high school life.

The Year 4 children had the opportunity to experience

an agriculture and a science session, with lots of

demonstrations and hands-on activities.

There are more ‘taster’ sessions planned for Term 3.

Thank you Junee High – we had a great time!

Shearing demonstrations, checking out wool samples

and discovering worlds under a micrsoscope – some

wonderful opportunities experienced by Year 4.


K-2 excursion

The Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 children had the

opportunity last Wednesday to travel to the Wagga

Civic Theatre for a performance of ‘Walamanayuwi and

the Seven Pamanui’ followed by a lovely picnic in the

park. As these photos show, they had a wonderful

time! Below are some recounts written by some of the

children in 1/2W.

A bus trip, a play, a picnic in the park and a playground

full of fun – what more could K-2 want?!


On Wednesday the 4 June infants went to Wagga on

an excursion to the Civic heater and Botanic Gardens

to have lunch and recess. We all had fun, it was the

best.

Mya Chisholm

On Wednesday 4 June infants went to the Civic

Theatre. We went to see Walamanayuwi and the seven

Pamaui. After the show was done we went to the

Botanic Gardens for lunch and recess. After everyone

was done we got to play. It was very fun. I want to go

again.

Chloe Masters

Wednesday 4 June we went to the Civic Theatre. We

watched Walamanayuwi and the Seven Pamaui. After

that we had lunch at the Botanic Gardens. When

everyone was finished we got to play. I played on the

spider web, flying fox, dizzy thing and the maze. Then

it was time to go back to school. When I was on the

bus I fell asleep on my chair.

Ruby Lemmich

On Wednesday we went to the Civic Theatre and the

Botanic Gardens and there was a flying fox and a

spider web.

Fletcher Randell

This week on Wednesday we went on an excursion to

the Civic Theatre in Wagga to see Walamanayuwi and

the Seven Pamanui. After the play was over infants

went to the Botanic Gardens and it was fun on the

spider web. It was especially fun on the flying fox. The

flying fox was the best thing about it.

Tristan Davis

On Wednesday the 4th

June the infants people went on

an excursion to the Civic Theatre. We watched

Walamanayuwi and the Seven Pamnui. The show went

for about an hour. In the beginning a man walked on

in sunglasses and a blue scarf and he danced. Later in

the show he came out with the same stuff on but that

time he came out with high heels on. After the show

we went to the Botanic Gardens to have lunch and

recess. We all had a play. Some other schools were

there too. Casey Watkins saw one of his old friends,

Jake. On the way home I sat next to Torah Newman.

When we got to school me and Torah did some

drawing. The end.

Robo Cup victories

Yesterday our two Robotics teams competed in the

annual Wagga Robo Cup challenge held at CSU. We

entered two teams – a beginner team in the ‘dance’

section: Tahlia White, Ellie Crawford, Brandon Collins &

Megha Paul), and an intermediate team in the ‘rescue’

challenge: Jordan Hawke, Kiara Longmore, Mathew

Hindmarsh, Dylan Gustowski and Kasey Miller.

Congratulations to both teams on their enthusiasm,

excellent problem-solving skills and teamwork. The

dance group even had to create a dance to accompany

their robot’s dance! (we will put a video of this on our

website for you to view). Our dance team were

successful in winning the junior Dance section, with our

rescue team placing second. Congratulations teams!

Our victorious ‘dance’ team

Well done Brandon, Tahlia, Megha and Ellie


Our ‘rescue’ team – well done on achieving 2nd

place

Health spot

Australian Guide to Healthy Eating

As some of you may know the old food pyramid has

now been replaced with The Australian Guide to

Healthy Eating. As part of the PD/H/PE syllabus all

students from K-6 will learn about this to different

degrees starting with exposure to the different groups

and sorting foods and leading onto learning about the

nutrients each group offers, how they benefit the body,

where the foods originate from and planning healthy

menus. The most noticeable change is the absence of

the fats and oils group. These, along with other

unhealthy foods, are now referred to as ‘sometimes’

foods and not as part of a healthy diet.

P&C News

From the canteen

A huge thank you to Janette Tailford and the Monday

volunteers for their wonderful commitment and

dedication to our canteen. Unfortunately decreased

sales have resulted in the ceasing of our Monday

canteen. Canteen will now operate on Fridays only,

with uniforms available via order (forms available from

the office or on our website and Skoolbag app). The

uniform shop will open Fridays from 2pm to 3 pm.

P&C Raffle - reminder

On Saturday 14 June we will be selling raffle tickets in a

wood raffle outside IGA. Helpers will be needed from

8:00 – 1:00. Thank you to those parents who have

volunteered their time. Please come along and support

our P&C’s fundraising endeavours. Proceeds from this

fundraiser will be put towards a shade sail to go over

our new seating area for the students.

Important – bus trip

This is the last year I will be able to organise the bus

trip, as I will no longer have any children attending

Junee North. Unfortunately we have not had any other

Junee North parents willing to take on this

organization. If you know of anyone who would be

interested in organising this trip for their school or

club/ association please let me know. Sherri Longmore,

P&C Treasurer; Ph 69242263, 0431566972
