PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Welcome to week 5!

It has been fantastic to see students returning this

week and behaving responsibly and following our

heightened health practices. We are continuing to

ensure classrooms and materials are safe for student

use and increased JOSS cleaning is continuing

throughout the day.

Gardening

It was great to see some of our infants and primary

students out planting our veggie and flower gardens

at the end of last week. We are looking forward to

seeing their progress!

Staffing

This week we welcome Mr Dakkak to our staff who

will be relieving in our TAS position at school. We

also welcome Mrs Lucie McMahon who had been

working casually to our SLSO team supporting

students at school. We are so pleased to have you

both on board.

Devices and Learning Materials

A huge thank you to all students and families for

returning their devices and learning materials to the

school. If you have outstanding items- including

incomplete work, please return this to the school so

that we are able to ensure we are aware of where

each student is up to.

Reports

Reports will be going out this term in a modified

proforma. These have been written to focus on

student engagement and effort in learning both at

school and at home. This semester in line with

advice from NESA and the Department of

Education our reports will not have an A-E grade.

You will have the opportunity to contact the school

to request phone interviews regarding your child/ren

as always. This can also be requested at any time

throughout the year and I greatly encourage you to

continue to maintain the high levels of

communication that have been developed

throughout this interesting year.

NEWSLETTER

The newsletter will continue to be emailed to

parents and given to students whose family does not

have email.

We have had positive feedback that parents have

found it easier to engage with the emailed version.

Community newsletters will be printed and

distributed as per usual.

Any feedback regarding this can be made to the

school front office.

at the moment. Thank you for your assistance with

this.

K/1/2 News Welcome back everyone! So glad to have the class

back together! Thank you once again to families for

their support and effort over the last eight weeks.

Students yesterday were very excited to be back and

we are all looking forward to establishing our

Our Library borrowing day is Monday. Please

return any overdue books as soon as possible, the

library is open most lunchtimes and students can

return during this time also.

Homework

This week students will not have spelling or maths

homework, only reading.

Any work still at home from the end of Term 1 and

the last four weeks should please be returned to

school. I will be emailing parents later in the week

regarding our Seesaw learning platform, please keep

an eye out for it and let me know if you did not

receive it.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

SECONDARY NEWS

Welcome to Week 5.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to all of our wonderful Secondary

Monday. Just a few reminders for all students:

Uniform

Now that it is getting colder, students need to ensure

that they are bringing their Tullamore Central

Page | 4

School jumpers for every day and their black

tracksuit pants on sport and PE days. Students

should also be dressing appropriately for the

weather – ie if it is cold, do not turn up in a t-shirt

and shorts! They also need to ensure that they have

their enclosed leather shoes for science, technology

and food technology and sports shoes for PE and

Sport.

Equipment

Please ensure that students are bringing their pencil

case, rulers, calculators, glasses etc. each day. There

were a number of students who turned up without

their books, pens and pencils. Students have been

issued with a new copy of the timetable so they

need to be checking what subjects they have each

day and bringing the correct equipment.

Senior Students

Please double check your dial in numbers on your

WAP VC lessons and ensure that you have all of

your required books, assessments and equipment –

especially for VET practicals.

Recess Passes

Students in Years 9 – 12 who have the recess pass,

are allowed to access this, however if students are

not in uniform they will not be going. Remember

students, you are representing the school so ensure

that your behaviour reflects our school values of

being respectful, responsible, cooperative and

honest.

New TAS Teacher

This week we also welcome our new TAS Teacher

Mr Dakkak. Mr Dakkak will be teaching in the

areas of Visual Art, Industrial Technology and

Technology Mandatory and will be co-teaching

WAP subjects. We welcome Mr Dakkak to the

Tullamore Central School community, and we look

forward to seeing the great projects in these subject

areas.

AGRICULTURE IN ACTION

Wanted – Cans & Bottles

As part of our fundraising for the Agriculture

program, we will be collecting the 10c return cans

and bottles. No need to sort them, as we will do

this! Cans and bottles can be dropped in to the

Agriculture plot area where there are two bins

labelled Cans and Plastic Bottles and Glass Bottles.

Wood Raffle

Thank you to everyone that has supported our wood

raffle. The winner of the first load of wood was the

lucky ticket number 88, purchased by Mathew

Williams. Congratulations and we hope you enjoy

the warmth from the fire!

There are still tickets for the remaining two 100

club wood raffles. These are available at CRT.

Thank you to Juanita and Judy for selling the tickets

for us and for Tallis Stevenson for splitting the

wood. Tickets are $2.00 per square, 300 tickets

available.

Vegetable Production

There will be soon be some vegetables available

from our Agriculture Plots. After our practical

lessons later in the week, our students will have a

list of vegetables that will be available for purchase

in the next few weeks. It looks like we will have a

few bumper crops this season so stay tuned for the

vegetable market place update.

Calf Weaning

Over the next few days there may be a bit of noise

from the agricultural farm. We are currently

weaning our two calves from 2019, Jimmy and

Tommy. We apologise in advance! It should only

last three days and they should settle down.
