Principal's Report

Wow! What a week – it was so great to see our kids representing our school at the Choral Festival and Athletics Carnival. It was nice to be reminded what our job is all about – so proud to be in blue and white! Add to that the large number of students who had a crack at the Spelling Bee on Thursday. My thanks and gratitude to all who supported the week. You are gems!

Really important that enrolment for our 2023 Kindergarten students gets sorted sooner than later so we can prepare our transition plans for next term. Let’s not leave this to the last minute. If you have siblings already at school this should be the easiest thing you do this week. Come in and grab the forms and get the ball rolling. Should you need assistance with the paperwork we’re more than willing to help out.

Broken Hill Athletics Carnival

39 of our students from year 3 to 6 took part in the Broken Hill Athletics Carnival this week. Despite the blustery conditions our students did an amazing job competing with honour, sportsmanship and flying our blue and white flag with pride. While the illustrious blue ribbons may have eluded us this year, we had many wonderful results including 11 second places and 7 third places. All competitors should hold their heads high; our school is proud of all of you. YLBs!!!

Spelling Bee

On 4th August courageous Northies accepted the challenge of competing in our annual spelling bee. 60 students from Year 2-6 participated in different levels of this event. They were asked to spell a wide selection of words, with varying degrees of difficulty. All students who participated deserve to be very proud of their spelling knowledge and successes. The senior champion spellers of the day were Addie Schultz 1st, Cooper Grillet 2nd and Hayden Rae 3rd. The junior champion spellers were Harry Druitt 1st, Sterling Druitt 2nd and Phoenix Meadows 3rd. Congratulations to all competitors.

School Assemblies

Whilst I appreciate families may still be wary about coming into the school, we’d like to welcome parents of the classes hosting Friday’s assemblies to come along and share in the experience. Also, parents of students being acknowledged for achieving a level are more than welcome as well. Unfortunately, we are not able to re-introduce our morning tea gatherings after the assembly as yet. Fingers crossed that may be on the cards sooner than later. It was great to see a few more faces at last week’s assembly. This week is 3/4K’s turn to host.

Variety Bash Breakfast

The big event has landed - Wednesday 10 August from 6am we will be serving breakfast to 220-250 bashers before they head off on their next leg to Bourke. Kathy Yates will be our chief organiser and has already been busy seeking donations and asking for assistance. The morning culminates with a performance for our kids by Super Hubert at 9am in the hall.

There is no blame – I just want to know how to do it better next time.
