FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
Dear Parents, Carers and Community members
Assembly
All parents, carers and community members are invited to our end of Term Assembly at
2.30pm next Friday 25 June. Come and help us celebrate the achievements of our
students this term.
Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund
Emmaville Central School has just been notified that we have been successful in our
application for a grant from the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund.
This application was to support families pay for pool entry for school events.
Attendance
This term our overall school attendance has dropped to 79% which is 11% below
Department of Education requirements. Parents are encouraged to ensure they send
their children to school or to always call us to let us know why your child is not at school.
Next term we will be conducting a lucky attendance draw for any students who have
been at school for 10 out of 10 days each fortnight. Our first draw will occur Monday
of Week 3 and will continue every 2 weeks after that.
NAIDOC Week
During the school holidays our nation will be celebrating NAIDOC week. As a school
we will be holding NAIDOC Week in September when our local lands council will be
holding its’ NAIDOC Celebrations and open day at The Willows.
Cross Country
A huge congratulations to Brittany for progressing to State for Cross Country.
Have a safe and warm Winter vacation.
Mrs Gillian Davis
Principal
SECONDARY NEWS
As we approach the end of the term, I encourage parents to ensure their children are
attending school every day (unless they are unwell). The Department of Education
expects that students meet a threshold of 90% attendance. This means that if a student
misses more than one day per fortnight, they will not meet the 90% benchmark. More
importantly, having days off school makes it very difficult for students to have continuity
in their learning- they miss essential content and can fall behind very easily.SECONDARY NEWS CONTINUED Donut Success Thank you to everyone who supported the SRC Donut Fundraiser. We had orders for almost 600 donuts! Thank you to Mrs Key for her organisation of this event. Wellbeing Day We’ve started Week 9 with a Wellbeing Day for Secondary students. The day has been a great success, with targeted activities for male and female students. Thank you to Mr Hanna, Miss Smith, and SRC member, Laura for their organisation of the day! School Reports Students in Years 7-10 will receive their school reports next week. Please take the opportunity to sit down and discuss your child’s report with them. Each subject studied by the child will have a comment about areas of strength and suggestions for improvement moving forward. If you have any questions about your child’s report, please contact the school. ADF Awards- Long Tan Award and Future Innovators Award Each year the ADF sponsor awards in schools. Applications are now open for both the Long Tan Award and The Future Innovators Award. Students in Years 10 and 12 are eligible to apply for the awards, which are not only prestigious, but come with a significant monetary prize ($250 for each Year 10 recipient and $550 for each Year 12 recipient).
