The Sentral Parent Portal is a great resource to access student timetable and student notices.
The Portal also provides details on attendance for your child.
For more information on the Sentral Parent Portal visit our website
https://tumut-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/ and click on the tab on the right labelled Sentral Parent Portal.
A reminder that full school uniform, including black leather enclosed shoes, is to be worn every day. The navy polo shirt is permitted to be worn everyday and not just on sports day.
With the weather cooling down it is advisable to have a school hoodie or school jacket. Please ensure items of clothing are labelled to assist with returning to rightful owner if misplaced.
Uniforms can be purchased locally at ‘Swans of Tumut’ and ‘Mensland’. Pre-loved uniforms are available through St. Vincent de Paul and through the Special Education faculty at school. For financial assistance to purchase uniforms please contact Head Teacher Wellbeing, Mr Somerville in the Wellbeing Hub on 6947 0629.
Scholastic Book Club catalogue Issue 2 is available from the Resource Centre or visit https://www.scholastic.com.au/book-club/book-club-parents/. Orders are due to Resource Centre by recess Friday, 20th March.
Online ordering is also an option.
Our Maths faculty are happy to assist students with improving their understanding of mathematics. If you would like extra support with maths please contact your classroom teacher to arrange this extra support at school.
The AGM for Tumut High School P&C was held this week and unfortunately not all committee positions have been filled. It is important to form a committee at Tumut High School as the P&C manages the canteen and profits from the canteen are donated to the school for various projects to better the school for our students. It is also important to have a forum for parents to express their ideas and concerns that affect the school.
Thank you to Michelle Johnson who has been the President and strong supporter of the P&C over the years but will be leaving Tumut High as she will no longer have children at the school. We would like to encourage all parents to consider being part of THS P&C and would like to especially welcome new Year 7 parents to be members of this group.
Meetings are held the 3rd Monday of each month during school terms, so therefore there is only 9 meetings for the whole year. If you are interested please phone the office and leave your details for the P&C Secretary to get in touch with you. The next P&C meeting will be held on Monday, 18th May 2020.
Please consider coming along to the next meeting in May to support the P&C Association that supports your child at Tumut High.
Outgoing President Report is below.

THS students recently had the opportunity to work with artists Neil Tomkins and Trevor McDonald to produce a stunning mural in one day. Funded by the NSW Arts Unit, Visual Arts students ranging from Years 7-12 were guided in using spray paints and designing and producing a mural.
It has pride of place at the back of the FD Purcell Centre and is admired by many.
More photos of this activity are on our Facebook page.
