Bogangar Public School Newsletter

To recognise these significant events, we held a special Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week assembly that acknowledged the past truths and encouraged us to walk together courageously towards Reconciliation.

We must thank Aunty Jackie McDonald for her traditional Welcome to Country, Aunty Tracey McKenzie for sharing her thoughts on Reconciliation and Uncle Magpie for our very first smoking ceremony to cleanse the energy and set the focus towards working together positively for a future where culture is everybody’s business.

We have all learnt about Reconciliation and the importance of grounding our knowledge of the past in the truth and we will complete the week together to create an art installation honoring the importance of this week.

The theme for 2019 is Voice, Treaty, Truth – Let’s Work Together for a shared future.

Bogangar Public School will be celebrating NAIDOC on Wednesday 3rd July Term 2, Week 10 with whole school activities and a mufti day where students are encouraged to wear red, black and yellow or clothing featuring Aboriginal artwork.

Visit the department's Digital Citizenship website (https://www.digitalcitizenship.nsw.edu.au/) to help understand and develop the attitude, skills, knowledge and behaviours citizens need to actively participate in a digital society.

We’re holding the School Colour-Run as a major fundraising event this year! 

The event will be held on Thursday 4 July (last day of term).

This is a sponsorship based fundraiser, and we’re looking to raise $29,000 for big commercial fans in the school hall so that our kids don't have to swelter through assemblies and activities, it's also nice for visiting parents and carers as well.

Keep your eyes peeled for the sponsorship forms which have been sent home with your child. Once you have the form, jump online at schoolfundraising.com.au and create a student profile page.

Once you do this and raise at least $1 online, you will be entered into the $20,000 Ultimate Family Experience!

Students who raise $10 or more will receive a reward, and the more money you raise the better the reward, and the more you help the school!

The School Colour-Run is a healthy fundraiser that we hope you’ll get behind. The event sends a message to students about having fun while being healthy, all while helping the school raise funds.

We’re looking for all students to participate and we’re organising a great day for our community, so we’d love everyone to come down to support our students and school.

If you have any questions about the Colour-Run please contact the School Colour-Run Office on 1800 FUN RUN.

Thanks for supporting our school, we hope to see you all at the event!
