QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Always remember that you are
unique just like everyone else.”
MARGARET MEAD
STAGE 5 ENGLISH
Stage Five jury members have delivered their first verdict in the Term
Three High Court of English preceded over by Judge Ogg. After
careful consideration they, the jury, have determined; by the balance
of probabilities, the insanity of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch: the first
the accused. In a frantic frenzy of cold case deliberations Stage Five
English students are acting as the jury for a number of cases. Using a
range of contextual information on the composer (accused), as well
as studying and critically analysing texts, students are determining the
purpose, emotional composition, and overriding tone of provided text
(evidence samples) in order to connect with the composer. Stage
Five have been using new and developing English related skills as well
as critical reflection and textual evidence to back their claims, and
are carrying out significant discussion to explain their points of view.
For a jury they are coming
across as a dil igent,
thoughtful, and empathetic
cohort - just as we know
them to be. One accused
down, two to go.

NEVILLE THORNE SHIELD
Northern Border Seniors Access entered a bunch of NO names into the Neville Thorne Shield in Walgett
and hoped for the best. By the end of the tournament they had new names like, Grand final
Runner-up, courage, never giving up, mateship, heart and guts. This team is the bunch of NRL
‘wannabes’ who you see playing at the back oval every lunch time rain, hail or shine trying to emulate
the players they see on the big screen.
Their performances in reaching the grand final against a very strong Peel team were phenomenal with
just an ounce of luck.
Kayleb: emerged as a leader whose confidence and performance grew with every game. Possessed
with razzle and dazzle attack and crunching defence.
Shane: a player with untapped natural ability whose self belief grew with every game. A new Shane
emerged at the end of day. When the Peel team absolutely demolished Shane a few times the old
Shane would have called it a day. The new Shane just sucked it up and got back in the ring again.
The ‘Human Stick’ Jack: started the day at dummy half but finished the day as a pseudo front rower
because he liked running over human beings so much. Often mistaken for a golf club when standing
sideways, Jack demonstrated a steel and strength that belied his size. Proving a ferocious defender
and runner of the ball and handful for players who were twice his size.
Henry: a huge fan of the band Boney M, was run over by a concrete truck in a few games but tried his
best and can only get better. Henry is champing at the bit to play in Bourke.
PRESCHOOL CAPERS
This week has been a very big week.
On Monday the Locke family donated 6 little lambs for
the children to rescue as their mums stopped feeding
them. We are feeding them 3 times a day. All the
children are enjoying feeding and playing with the
lambs. Due to these new visitors the children are
wishing to learn more about farming. We are looking at
what happens on farms and what products we get from
farming.
On Wednesday we visited the Town Library for Book Week Story Time. We all had the opportunity to
dress up as a super hero, listen to a book about Super Man and participate in craft activities. After the
Library, we visited business houses down the street. We looked at what products are in each shop
and look at what they do. We also got to have lunch at the café.
Coming Up
Friday 30 August:- Father’s Day Brunch from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm. Further details to follow.

Jeremy: great story teller on the bus but had
little to say except “Ouch” when crunched
by the oversized Peel High School
behemoths, the tournament was a learning
experience for Jeremy. Produced solid
performances which can only get better now
he has had a taste of ‘real footy’. Jeremy will
step up another level when the team plays in
Bourke.
Frankie: Rugby League rookie. But worked up
a great combination with Brock to keep the
boys watered during breaks. Has a great
step and fend but still got smash tackled by
his sister during a game at the end of Term 2
at Moree RSL. Patrons still walk past the site of
the tackle and whisper in hushed tones, “Yep that’s Frankie’s dent in the ground”.
Brock: Another Rugby League Rookie with a great laugh. Worked tirelessly with Frankie keeping the
boys watered during breaks. Dug deep so he was also able to have a ball and tackle shields ready for
the team. A tough competitor but brother Kayleb proved too strong for him during the Iron Man- Steal
The Ball competition.

BOOK WEEK PARADE
29 days is the official countdown until the 19 September which is Mungindi
Central School’s 2019 Book Day, and I for one can’t wait! Is it that there is
an opportunity to dress up which makes the day fabulous, or being able to
celebrate a form of art which carries us away and teaches us about
anything and everything we wish to know? I don’t know but I know books
are great, and so is Book Day at Mungindi Central School! This year the
theme is “Reading is my superpower”. We all know that Ms Ogg has
oodles of superpowers to choose from, but what is yours? Start thinking
about it in anticipation. Maybe you could complete the find-a-word to see if your superpower is there?
Signing off with my quote for today,
Brains love books like cookie monster loves cookies.
