themselves into joining us on
a Friday. The children are
eagerly looking forward to
entertaining you all on De-
cember 12th.
The children continue to
strive to reach their personal
learning goals and are bring-
ing Tracey and I much happi-
ness with their effort and
support for each other. We
really do have a wonderful
bunch of students.
Keep smiling!
What a difference a couple of
weeks can make! Much
needed rain has refreshed
spirits and the environment.
Our storms last week brought
many anxious moments for
our littlies as the thunder and
lightning lashed us. Creative
thinking set imaginations
alight as we sought to find
amusing and comforting
sources for these conditions.
Phoebe, who suffered the
most anxiety, found comfort
in the ideas that the thunder
may have been giants ten pin
bowling, or care bears play-
ing drums.
There has been much hap-
pening in the world of DEC
this tem, with change being
the order of the day. Tracey,
Pam and I have been keep-
ing informed and will remain
busily reading and discussing
issues with other colleagues
as the term draws to an end.
When things are more settled
and decisions agreed upon I
will enlighten our school com-
munity. I can tell you that it is
extremely frustrating to pour
your heart and soul into be-
ing a small schools Teaching
Principal in the current cli-
mate.
Tracey and I have also been
involved in many Adobe Con-
nect training sessions as we
prepare for the implementa-
tion of the new NSW curricu-
lum in 2014. We will be insti-
tuting the new English, Maths
and Science curriculums next
year, with the other KLA’s
being introduced in 2015.
Our presentation day perfor-
mances are being heartily
practised by Parker, Emily,
Phoebe and Charlotte. Even
our two 2014 Kindy students,
Amy and Nick, have thrown

dous improvement this year.
The proud grins on their fac-
es when we explain the im-
provement in their result says
it all.
Well done Parker, Emily,
Phoebe and Charlotte.
All students know their lines
and are working hard at
practising their actions for
Wombat Stew.
A big thank you to parents
for helping with this.
I am so proud to be working
as the LaST (Learning and
Support Teacher) alongside
Kathy. We are currently as-
sessing students in Literacy
and Numeracy and all stu-
dents have made tremen-
Who We Are in Wombat Stew
Charlotte
I play the character of koala.
My costume is a grey T Shirt, black leggings and a koala mask that I made.
I use a sleepy voice for my part.
I climb down the gum tree, yawn, put some gum leaves in the stew and sing
around the billy.
Phoebe
I play the characters of echidna and platypus.
I wear black shorts, a dark top and a mask. I wear an echidna mask as the echidna
and a platypus mask as the platypus.
My voice is loud and clear.
My actions are ambling in like a platypus then pretending to pick up blobs of mud
with my legs for the billy. As the echidna I dig up all these great bugs and slugs that
we made in art and put them in the billy.
Parker
I play the character of dingo.
I wear a mask and a tail. I made the mask all by myself and that is my cos-
tume.
My voice is cheeky and bad.
Emily
I play the characters of blue tongue lizard and emu.
I wear a blue tongue lizard mask as the lizard. Then I have a costume change,
I put on an emu mask and tail to play the emu. I made my masks. My actions
are slithering in like a lizard and putting flies in the stew. As the emu I walk out
of the trees and drop feathers in the stew. After the dingo gets poisoned all the
animals dance around the billy and we sing Wombat Stew all together.

School Zone Flashing Lights Are Coming
The NSW School Zone Flashing Lights Initiative will be coming to Nowendoc
Public during Term 1, 2014. Our traffic flow might be relatively light, however
speed is definitely a concerning factor so our school community welcomes our
inclusion in this initiative.
