News at Central PRINCIPAL: Michael Fisher

Welcome back everyone to another awesome week of

learning at Broken Hill Public School as we continue to inspire,

show integrity and inclusion for all.

I hope all the Mums had a relaxing day for Mother’s Day on

Sunday and were suitably spoilt.

It was terrific to have many of our Mums, Grandmas, Nannas

and Carers join us for a great breakfast last Friday morning. A

huge thanks to the SRC and Staff for organising, cooking,

serving, etc. The Central Community at its best.

School Photos

Wednesday 22nd May (next week) is School Photo Day and

order forms are being sent home with this week’s newsletter.

We ask that children are dressed in their school uniform

including black shoes and the school jumper. Any hair ties for

the girls need to be black or white.

Thank you for ensuring the children continue to look their best at

school.

NAPLAN

This week our Year 3 and 5 students are involved in the NAPLAN

assessments starting today with Language Conventions and

Writing. Wednesday is the Reading assessment and finishing on

Thursday with Numeracy. We hope the children get a good

night sleep and have a good breakfast each morning. These

are good habits to have for every day.

Uniform

As the weather is starting to cool, it is an opportune time to remind families about uniform.

It is often in cooler weather we start to see a variety of colours creep in especially pants

and jumpers. We urge that correct school uniform be worn at all times.

The wearing of the uniform provides a sense of identity and a sense of belonging in our

school community. It also provides an opportunity to build school spirit and awesomeness.

School uniforms can be purchased from the uniform shed at a very reasonable price with

some second hand items being sold very cheap.

We thank you for helping our students to look and feel awesome.

Yours in Education

🍎🍎VOLUNTEERS MOST WELCOME 🍎🍎

Friday, 17th May

We are excited to be taking part in the

2019 Woolworths Earn & Learn

program.

During the previous campaign, we

were able to purchase some great

resources with the points we earned,

thanks to you.

From May 1st 2019 until June 25th 2019, you can collect stickers at Woolworths that go

towards Earn & Learn points. For every $10 you spend at Woolworths (excluding the

purchase of tobacco, liquor and gift cards), you will receive a sticker. These stickers can

then be given to your children to collect on a special sticker sheet. Once it is completed,

they can simply bring it back here to school or you can drop them into your local

Woolworths collection box.

The more points we earn, the more we can redeem from a choice of over 10,000

educational resources including mathematics and English resources, art & crafts

materials and much, much more!

We are grateful for your support and look forward

to a successful program. If you have any

questions, please ask at School.
