Fraser Gill, Courtney Kennedy, Teminya Walsh, Peter Wilson, Abby Corderoy, Lily Walker and Eliza Davison -
representing our school and district at the Western PSSA Swimming Carnival in Dubbo. We wish our swimmers all
the very best.
Parent Teacher interviews
Parent teacher interviews play a valuable role in our schools
communication strategy; they provide an opportunity for staff to build
relationships with parents and carers sharing information on the student’s
achievements, and discussions in relation to focus areas for improvement
and growth.
Our term one interviews assist staff in gaining information about personal
interests and passions in learning, and they provide a platform for the
creation of Personalised Learning Plans for the students.
Yesterday was a very successful community event with more than 70
families attending. Parents and carers are encouraged to contact the
school for interviews as required throughout the year. Our planned parent
teacher interviews are in support of our schools Assessment and
Reporting Policy. We value the opportunity to share information and
strategies with our families.

Crunch & Sip
Just a reminder that during our Crunch & Sip break students are only to eat fruit
and vegetables in their natural form (no roll ups ) and water (no juice). Giving
students a chance to re-fuel with fruit or vegetables helps to improve physical
and mental performance and increase awareness of the importance of eating
vegetables and fruit and drinking water.
SUGGESTED ITEMS
Vegetables
All fresh vegetables are permitted (e.g. celery, carrot sticks, broccoli bits)
Fruit
All fresh fruit (e.g. whole fruits, chopped melon)
Fruit canned in water, juice or with no added sugar (e.g. peach slices). Don't forget a spoon!
Dried fruit like sultanas or apricots are allowed for Crunch&Sip but should be limited. This is because dried
fruit tends to cling to teeth and is a concentrated source of sugar, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
Drinks
A clean, clear water bottle filled with plain water.
NOT PERMITTED
All other food and drinks are not permitted during the Crunch & Sip break including:
Any drinks other than plain water including fruit or vegetable juice, fruit juice drink, fruit cordial, mineral
waters, carbonated water, water with added vitamins and minerals
'Fruit' products (e.g. fruit leather, fruit roll-ups, fruit bars or similar)
Fruit jams, jellies, pies or cakes
Fruit canned in syrup or jelly or with artificial sweeteners
Dips, including those that are vegetable based
Canned or processed vegetables (e.g. olives)
Vegetable or potato crisps, hot potato chips
Vegetable pastries (pies, pasties, sausage rolls)
Vegetable cakes, fritters, quiches, breads or similar
Popcorn
DON’T FORGET!
Please slice small whole fruit and vegetables like grapes and cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters for
younger children to reduce the choking hazard.
Wash all fruit and vegetables before eating
Easy-to-eat fruit and veg is best
Buying fruit and vegetables in season is cheaper and tastes better
Students should wash their hands before eating
Wash water bottles daily
Don't share water bottles

School photos will take place on Wednesday 14 March and order forms have been sent home. Students are to dress

Sport
A huge well done to all students who represented Narromine Public in the district Gobondery/NARRAF swimming
carnival in Warren on Friday 23 February. From this carnival 17 NPS students have advanced through to the Western
Carnival in Dubbo on Friday 16 March. Just a reminder to Years 3-6 that swimming will continue for the remainder of
the term. Students need to bring their swimmers, towel, sunscreen and hat. It is expected that students participate
every week as sport is a compulsory component of the curriculum. If for some reason one week they are unable to
participate please send a note to their classroom teacher explaining why they cannot participate.
Trials and training will start over the next couple of weeks for a variety of sports for Years 3-6. Students need to be
displaying positive behaviour and listening to morning messages to ensure that they arrive at these sessions if they
wish to be considered for these teams.

PBL News
At Narromine Public School, for Positive Behaviour for Learning over the next two
weeks, we will be focusing on being responsible by moving and safely and doing our
best. Our aim is to establish consistent whole-school class lining up when entering and
exiting buildings. Students will be moving to class in an orderly manner.
Also, students will be encouraged to their best. To do this, they will be ‘having a go
completing tasks’. 6Ls – Hands in laps, legs crossed, eyes looking at the teacher, lips
closed, listen to teacher and ready to learn, being organised and having equipment,
challenge themselves, making an effort, taking initiative to ask for help to respond to
things and to enquire, and show good sportsmanship on the sporting field. Thank you
for your support in encouraging your children to follow these expectations.
As part of our reward system students who achieved 100 points by Week 5 received
their reward. In Stage 3 students chose to watch a movie and have hot chips. In Stage
2, students enjoyed board games and construction blocks such as lego under the
outdoor leaning areas and Stage 1 loved their extra play time in the playground. RHR
That’s who we are!
