Learning for all at Morgan Street
Can you really believe that we are in Week Seven already! Last week it was wonderful to experience some very much needed rain. Unfortunately it didn’t get to everywhere that it was needed but hopefully it is the beginning of a wet year ahead! It was a special week
last week with the Student Leadership Induction, Barrier Swimming Carnival, Barrier trials and The Big Veggie Crunch. We also had Mrs Kaye, Mrs Halpin and Ms Simmons attend a leadership course here in Broken Hill. We continue with our parent information meetings this week for Years 1 to 4. These are a great opportunity to continue the learning partnership with your class teacher. We have our family fun evening coming up on Monday 23rd March commencing at 5pm. The aim of this evening is for our school community to come together to connect and also have some fun! It is timely to remind students about the need to hand in mobile phones at the office when they come to school and then collect them at the end of the day from the office. There is an increase in the types of smart watches in everyday life and school is no different. We ask that if your child has one that you have a talk with them to ensure that they are appropriately used at school (ie only for telling the time). Have a wonderful week of learning! Thought for the week: “Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.” David M. Burns Scott Sanford Principal

The Big Veggie Crunch Last Thursday Morgan Street was part of the 365 schools across the state that participated in the Big Veggie Crunch. At 10am classes across NSW stopped to crunch on vegetables as part of our daily Crunch & Sip break. Here are some photos of classes in our school enjoying their crunchy vegetables!
Remember, packing vegetables as part of your daily Crunch and Sip is a
great way to add veggies into your diet.
Last Wednesday our Student Leaders were presented with their badges at the Induction
Ceremony. Our School Captains and School Vice Captains, the SRC and House Captains
and Vice Captains all had their badges pinned on by a family member.
Guest speakers Ethan Kelly and Ayva O’Meara from Willyama High School spoke about
leadership and how all students can be leaders within our school.
The assembly finished with a morning tea for our student leaders and their families.
