Filming at WPS
As you would be aware there will be some filming at WPS over the next couple of weeks (permission notes
went home this week for signing). One group will be filming for the Department of Education about Rural
Schools and one group will be filming for Penny Appeal—the organisation that have kindly installed the water-
filtration system in the community. Please see flyer over page for details about the water system. We are very
fortunate to be receiving this amazing resource. They will also be aiming to chat to some community members
also. This has been organised in conjunction with Walhallow Aboriginal Land Council and Jason Allan.
Easter Raffle
Thank you to the families who have donated towards our P&C Easter Raffle. Tickets went home yesterday and
prizes look fantastic, keep them coming! Many thanks. More tickets are available from the office.
Congratulations to Mrs Harris
Mrs Harris was in Sydney last week, attending training from the Stronger Smarter Institute. All reports are that
the training was amazing and she cannot wait to start her project. The Stronger Smarter Institute presents
programs on Higher Expectations Relationships, particularly in Aboriginal Education and communities. Both
Miss Porter and Mrs Davis have already trained in these programs and we look forward to Miss Allan training
in the near future.

The Yurrandaali (Goanna) Room
To help develop our understanding of texts we have been
playing Tic Tac Toe to see how many different connections
we can make between texts.

The Bandaarr (Grey Kangaroo) Room
When Jalii brought in a baby tree frog she found at home, we were keen to investigate. Over the last few
days we have read stories about frogs, looked at lifecycles of frogs, sang songs about frogs, played games
about frogs, written information reports about frogs, published stories about frogs, painted or drawn frogs
(Jalii gave the students a directed drawing lesson - she makes a wonderful teacher) and made jelly ponds
with chocolate frogs and written matching procedures. What a great few days of student led and self directed
learning.

This fortnight during Yuluwirri we have focused on developing our fine motor skills through art, craft and outside activities.
Our follow up activity was threading. Kamahli focused really hard as she used the string to thread her very own
bracelet.
Colour recognition has also been a focus this term. We have read the colours book and found objects around the room that
correlated with each coloured page. We then used our knowledge of colours to develop our understanding of mixing colours.
We used the primary colours and watched as they begin to mix together to make new colours.
Please feel free to come and join us each Monday morning for 9.30 to 11am. We would love to see you all!
SCHOOL UNIFORM
School Uniform Policy
The wearing of school uniform promotes a sense of
belonging for students and creates a positive
identity for the school community.
School uniforms also contribute to the personal
safety of students by allowing easier recognition of
students inside the school and in the community.
It is expected that students wear the uniform during
school hours, while travelling to and from school,
and when engaged in school activities out of school
hours.
Girls Uniform Boys Uniform
Maroon Hat Maroon Hat
Blue Polo Shirt Blue Polo Shirt
Maroon Shorts Grey Shorts
White Socks Grey Socks
Black Shoes Black Shoes
Now the weather is cooler, jumpers and jackets are
to be maroon. Don’t forget to label all items with
names.

News from our P&C and Community
AGM Monday, 22nd of March in school grounds at 2pm. All welcome.
Solar Water Scheme by Penny Appeal Australia - See flyer over page for more details
Penny Appeal Australia will be visiting Walhallow Community in the coming weeks. This is the organisation that have kindly
installed the water filtration system in the community. They have a few aims for the visit. To report to the specific donor for
this project and develop a video that he will be able to promote to his audience; to report to our own audience and
supporters in Australia, and show them the sort of projects we are hoping to continue with in future; and finally to engage our
staff and volunteers with some of the people that they work to support.
We do hope that this can be a launchpad for further work and support from our organisation and donors.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Mark O’Bryan Head of Programs and Head of Marketing and Fundraising, Jasmin
Ghandour from Penny Appeal Australia.
Please bring in donations for our
Easter Raffle
Tickets sent home yesterday
Money raised will go towards our
2021 excursion.
