exceptional service to the Department of Education.

Mrs Andrew reached this milestone last week, and I

thank her for her many years of dedication to the

students and staff at Tullamore Central School in a

range of duties, including Learning and Support,

Laboratory Assistant and Administration.

Congratulations Mrs Andrew on a wonderful

achievement.

RELIEVING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Another busy week is ahead of us with a special

event on each day of the week.

Today Primary CWA Public Speaking took place at

Trundle, tomorrow is Year 3/4 assembly. Thursday

sees Opens Touch Football for secondary at Dubbo

and Friday Primary District Cross Country here at

Pola Park. Congratulations to all students involved

and I wish them all the best. I know they will be

great representatives of our school.

Uniform

Once again a reminder that students are expected to

be in correct uniform each day. All students K-12

are to wear our wide brim school hat, not caps. The

school hats are available at the office for $9.00. So

many students are looking fabulous in their uniform

and it would be great to see all students wearing it

proudly.

Coffee Machine.

Our newly plumbed and fitted

coffee machine is in action!

Mrs Fidock and Mrs Hinchley

have completed training and

now we can smell the sweet

aroma of coffee in the air. Our

Hospitality students and teachers will be developing

their Barista skills and plan to set up a Coffee Shop

in the near future. Mrs Hillam was a happy taste

tester yesterday morning, and gave Mrs Fidock a

thumbs up for delicious coffee.

YEARS 9/10 GRENFELL ART EXCURSION

Last Tuesday, the 9/10 Visual Arts students

travelled to Grenfell for the day, to explore the

town’s rich art culture.

Our first stop was to check out the Grenfell Silo Art,

commissioned by Melbourne street artist Heeso

Khosnaran in March this year. The artwork is an

adaption of photographs depicting the farming

industry and the Weddin Shire landscape, taken by

locally renowned photographer Denise Yates of

Five Hours West. The students were in awe of the

skill and techniques used to produce such a large-

scale artwork.

Our next stop was to Patina Gallery, where we

undertook an acrylic ink workshop with local artist

Kathleen McCue. Kathleen enrolled in a TAFE Fine

Art course when she turned 40, giving up the stress

of nursing in a small town with seldom a doctor.

She is now a full-time professional artist, proving

that you are never too old to change career or learn

something new! We enjoyed a tour around her

lovely personal art gallery, with the students

admiring her works in various art mediums and

forms. We then gathered in her art studio and the

students were given a lesson on layering paint to

give artworks more depth and interest. The students

enjoyed this very much and were delighted to be

able to bring back with them an artwork to be proud

of.

Our final stop was to Wallangreen Sculptural

Garden. We were lucky enough to be given a

personal tour around the garden by Jan Wallace and

her playful Collie companion. Jan’s late husband

Len, a Vietnam war veteran took solace in metal

sculpting from discarded metal waste, turning

various farming tools and machinery as well as

other things into spectacular, detailed sculptures.

Some of the highlights of the visit were Len’s

dinosaur sculpture, his amazing metal sculpture of

Ned Kelly, and his intricate Creation Clock.

We are so glad to have chosen Grenfell as our art

excursion destination. We were pleasantly surprised

by the art presence in the town, and happy to be

supporting another small community in drought

who has breathed life into it’s community through

its significant art and cultural projects. We highly

recommend a visit to Grenfell.

For anyone interested, Grenfell is holding its 62nd

Henry Lawson Festival over the June long weekend

from 6-10th June. It is one of the longest running

arts festivals in NSW. Both Patina Gallery and

Wallangreen will be open over this period. For more

information visit www.henrylawsonfestival.com.au
