Our school Captains, Emma Bermingham and
Hamish Callander, travelled to Sydney yesterday
to visit Parliament House and Government
House, meeting with Governor of New South
Wales His Excellency General The Honourable
David Hurley and had a fantastic day.
Unfortunately, His Excellency preferred to not
take individual photos with students, however,
our captains engaged in a robust discussion with
him around lowering the voting age, the republic issue and problems racing rural NSW.
A particular highlight was looking at some of the historical portraits and décor within
Government House.
Mr Perry
Sydney Trip On Thursday 28 June we were invited to Government House and Parliament House of
New South Wales. Despite the early morning, we were very excited, we arrived in
Sydney and made our way to Martin Place before going to Parliament House. Here we
talked to some members of Parliament and were able to ask questions about their
work. Following this we had a tour of the Legislative Council and Assembly Rooms (the
Upper and Lower House). We talked to more members of parliament and learnt what
their role was in the creation of legislation. We then left Parliament House and walked
through the beautiful gardens of Government House before beginning our tour. The
architectural design of the house was a mixture of gothic revival and Victorian, which
was absolutely stunning. After getting a brief history of the establishment outside we
then continued inside for a tour. In the afternoon we were able to meet with the
Governor and his wife and ask questions about his job and what he wanted to do for
Australia. The day was very informative and enjoyable and we are
honoured to have had the experience. Thank you to Mr Perry for
accompanying us to Sydney.

Dear Parents/Caregivers, Help us break the cycle of Head Lice by regularly checking your child’s hair for head lice and/or eggs. Head lice are very common and we are always conscious of the concerns that they present and the potential embarrassment that an infestation can cause. They can be treated quickly and easily to prevent them from spreading, however, the best approach to prevention is regular checking of hair. Look for the following signs:
Persistent scratching, particularly behind the ears and the nape of the neck.
Tiny silver, white eggs attached to hairs, particularly at the base of the hair shaft.
Small, pale, brown lice (a little bigger than the size of a flea). Facts on Head Lice:
Head lice are parasites that suck blood and live exclusively on humans.
Head lice don’t hop or fly, 95% are transmitted by close contact – avoid sharing hats, headbands, brushes, pillows.
They are especially common between children 3-12 years of age.
They don’t like short and plaited hair – girls are more likely to have head lice because they like long hair Treating head lice
Purchase a specialized head lice treatment available at the chemist or supermarket and apply it according to the directions on the packet.
Examine all family members hair, and treat everyone found to have head lice at the same time.
Wash the treatment out and use a fine-toothed comb to remove dead lice and eggs.
Repeat the treatment if necessary in 7 – 10 days if lice are still present.
As a precaution, bed linen, towels, brushes and hats should be washed in hot soapy water. Should you require further information regarding head lice or treatment please contact the school or the local chemist.

Worms
There are different types of intestinal worms, but the most common is threadworm (also called pinworm). Threadworm is a type of roundworm that is commonly found in preschool and school-aged children, however the whole family can become infected. Threadworm causes a very itchy bottom, which is usually worse at night. If your child is infected with threadworm, it is not usually serious and can be treated easily with medication.
Signs and symptoms of threadworm If your child has threadworm, they may:
have an itchy bottom, which may become red and inflamed from scratching
be irritable and generally ‘out of sorts’
not sleep very well
have a reduced appetite.
In girls, there may also be redness and itching around the vaginal area. (Threadworms may cause or worsen vulvovaginitis in girls. See our fact sheetVulvovaginitis.) You may be able to see threadworm if you examine your child at night. Take a torch, separate your child’s buttocks and look carefully around the anus (and the opening to the vagina in girls). You might see tiny white threads that may be moving.
How is threadworm spread? Threadworm gets its name because the worms look like white threads, which are about 1 cm long. The worms live in the lower intes-tine, but they come out of the anus over night to lay their eggs in the area between the buttocks, which causes your child’s bottom to feel very itchy. It is estimated that one female threadworm can lay up to 16,000 eggs. Threadworm is spread when children scratch their bottom, causing the eggs to collect under the fingernails. The child then carries the worm eggs back to their mouth with their hands. The eggs can also be spread indirectly, in food, dust, or other items. The eggs can survive up to two weeks outside the body. Once your child swallows threadworm eggs, the eggs hatch in your child’s small intestine and the worms travel down to their anus. You cannot catch threadworm from animals.
Care at home You can talk to a pharmacist about over-the-counter treatment options. Drugs such as pyrantel (Combantrin) or mebendazole (Banworm) are very safe and often recommended. Follow the instructions on the packet, bearing in mind special precautions may be given for children under two years of age and for pregnant women.
Treat all the family members at the same time, even if they aren’t showing any symptoms. Adults can also get threadworm.
If possible, your child should have a shower on the night they have the medicine, and again the next morning to remove the eggs
laid during the night. Unfortunately, repeat threadworm infection is very common. To help reduce this and to prevent the threadworms from spreading to others, you can take the following precautions:
Despite the itching, encourage your child not to scratch their bottom. If they must scratch, make sure it is over their underpants
and not directly on their skin.
Keep your child’s fingernails clean and trimmed. Try to stop your child from biting their nails or sucking their thumb.
Have your child wash their hands and under their nails thoroughly after going to the toilet.
Wash your child’s bedding, towels and toys in hot water.
Vacuum your floor often to remove any eggs.
Clean surfaces in your house that your children may touch, in particular door handles.
Discourage your child from eating food that has fallen on the floor.
When to see a doctor If you have tried a threadworm treatment for your child and their symptoms have not im-proved, take them to your GP. The doctor will examine your child and may want to do blood or faeces (poo) tests. Also take your child to the GP if:
your child passes a large worm
they have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or low energy levels.
Key points to remember Threadworm is common in preschool and school-aged children. Threadworm
causes very annoying itching in the area between a child’s buttocks.
It’s easy to treat threadworm with the right medication. There are precautions to prevent threadworm spreading and reinfecting.
School
Holidays
Positive Behaviour has been very positive!
Approximately 90 students from K-12 attended our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Rainbow Band rewards day on Tuesday 3 July. 7-12 students went to watch the film “The Incredibles 2”, whilst K-6 went to Inflatable World. We were able to treat our Respectful, Responsible, Learners who have achieved rainbow band status to a free day of fun in Dubbo. I would like to thank all staff who attended on the day. Positive behaviour is a key ingredient of what we teach children here at school. Well done to all of our students for promoting our Respectful, Responsible, Learners culture at all times.
It’s a Hark Knock Life
For those in attendance at the assembly in week 8, you would have been delighted by the energy and enthusiasm that was displayed by 2/3 Grevillea in their performance. This performance has been viewed many times on facebook and has also been picked up and shared by Southern Arts NSW. Congratulations to 2/3 Grevillea on a wonderful performance. Your talents have certainly been noticed!
Principal Awards
It gives me great pleasure to hand out Principal Awards at assembly. When a student achieves this award it means they have already received three Assistant Principal Awards. All children can be very proud of the efforts they are making at school to achieve such a prestigious award. In week 8, congratulations go to Ben Brown, Harrison Leach, Ruby Smith, Ashanti Nelson, Bjorn Maligaya, Aliyah Carr, Emmy Scotson, Natasha Wilde, Abigail Mauger and Jayla Cobcroft.
Student Captains visit Parliament House
As part of our student leadership program, we send our secondary school captains to Sydney for a student leader conference, at both Parliament and Government House. The school fully subsidises the trip as we have a strong belief and vision in developing our leaders of the future. Reports back attest to both Emma Birmingham and Hamish Callander enjoying the day, with fellow student leaders.
June Hawkes Lifetime Recognition Award
On Friday 22 June, Mrs June Hawkes received life membership of the Nevertire/Warren teachers association. June has been a passionate supporter of teachers and students for over 40 years and this a well-deserved award for decades of devotion to Warren and the community, through her teaching and support of teachers. I would like to thank Mrs Hamilton for presenting the award and Mrs Robson for organising. Well done Mrs Hawkes!
Term 3 start
All staff and students return to school on Monday 23 July. Normally, students would not return until Tuesday 24 July, however, we have moved our staff training date from Monday 23 July to Monday 20 August. No classes will be in oper-ation on that day. Please note for future planning. I would like to wish all students and staff a happy and relaxing school holiday break, refreshed and ready for learning on Monday 23 July.

Science and Engineering Challenge Last Thursday, 28 June, students from years 5 and 6 went to the Science and Engineering Challenge in Dubbo where
we had to compete in the brain teasing challenges. We each competed in one activity before we had a break. The first
activity was the most challenging and frustrating because we didn’t know what we were doing. We had to send mes-
sages to the other students on our team through light.
During lunch break we had a science show before we competed in our second task. My second task was about making
a mechanical hand, with only a few supplies on our table.
When the day was finished we all met up in a big hall where we had to test the bridges that our team had designed and
made. Our bridge stood up to the second last weight before it collapsed.
It was a very thought provoking day and we all really enjoyed it.

In Visual Design, Year 11 students have been designing canvas shoes. They had to design shoes for a chosen client,
using one of the four frames, Subjective, Structural, Postmodern and Cultural. Tom Fuller designed Nike shoes for a
mock client called T-Bone, Stephen Owens designed some funky Pop Art shoes for his mock client Pop Princess,
Mitchell George designed shoes in a Polynesian Tattoo style and Bart Cosgrove used street art as his influence.
Last term, Visual Design students created their own plaster arms and then designed tattoos in relation to a particular
frame - Subjective, Structural, Postmodern or Cultural. Mitchell George and Stephen Owens worked in the Cultural
frame and designed tribal tattoos, Bart designed the cross, chain and anchor, and Hamish Callander designed a
