Principal's Report

2022 Barrier Schools Choral Festival

This year local schools are hosting the Barrier Schools Choral Festival on Wednesday 3rd August. This annual concert is an opportunity for schools in Broken Hill and the Far West Region to showcase their choirs and share their repertoire of songs.

The Choral Festival will be held at the Broken Hill Civic Centre in Sulphide St. North Choir will sing in the morning session starting at 10.00am. Tickets will be available from Friday 1st of July through the Civic Centre via an online link or in person at the Visitors Centre (cash only).

North school choir has been focused and trying their best to prepare their songs for this concert. Pop August 3rd in your diary and be ready to enjoy a feast of music!

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.

 

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 in a position 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.

 

Variety Bash Breakfast

Once again, our school has been asked to support this worthy cause. On 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. Hopefully, as in the past, our staff and families will be able to support this event.

Growth Mindset

I seek challenges that will stretch and help me learn

Which mindset is most likely to result in learning?  Change the words, change the mindset!
