New class Children  achieve  the  best  educational  outcomes  when  they  receive  inspired  teaching,  are  embraced  by  their schools and fellow students, and have the support of engaged families and friends. We are committed to building a more inclusive school, one where all students feel welcomed and are learning to their fullest capability. I am really excited  to  announce  that  we  have  been  given  funding  to  establish  a  second Mul ‐categorical  (MC)  class.  This means we will have a Primary MC class and a Secondary MC class. These classes are regional resources which will be  permanently  placed  at  Bowraville  Central  School.    The  Primary  MC  class  will  be  established  in  the  old Makerspace room and the Secondary class in room 43. The resources from Makerspace will be relocated around the school and u lized by specialist teachers to embed Science and Technology outcomes across the school.   New faces This  term we welcome some new staff  in the school. We have Marcia Bell  joining us  in Mathema cs. She has a wealth of experience and enthusiasm having taught both in Canada and around the Mid North Coast. We also have the opportuni es to offer temporary contracts to some of a regular causal teachers, welcome Terry Simpson and Daniel Constan nou to the team.   Naplan This  year  we  are  doing  Naplan  online  for  the  first  me.  NAPLAN  Online  will  provide  be er  assessment,  more precise  results  and  faster  turnaround  of  informa on.  The  assessments  can  run  through  a  real‐ me  internet connec on or onscreen without an internet connec on. For more informa on see the website h ps://nap.edu.au/online‐assessment.  Naplan assessments will involve students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 from around Australia. The assessments commence on May 14.   External Valida on In 2019 Bowraville Central school will be externally validated. This is a process that occurs in schools on a 5 year cycle. I have established teams to consider the 3 domains of the School Excellence Framework, namely Learning, Teaching  and  Learning.  We  will  collect  evidence  of  how  we  are  performing  against  the  School  Excellence Framework as either Delivering, Sustaining and Growing or Excelling. For more informa on about the process visit the  website  h ps://educa on.nsw.gov.au/teaching‐and‐learning/school‐excellence‐and‐accountability/sef‐evidence‐guide/external‐valida on     School Uniform As the weather starts to get cooler we no ce students wearing jumpers in the morning. We are fortunate to live in such a wonderful climate that by mid morning students have usually taken off these jumpers. We really want to see you in school uniform so now is the  me to get your school uniform jumper for the winter season. Students assistance is available for families in need.   Best Regards, Dave Taylor

S C H O O L N E W S Careers Expo

Year  9  students  were  given  the  task  of  choosing  and researching  a  career.  They  then  had  to  set  up  a  stall  to encourage  curious primary  students  to  visit  and find out all they could about these careers.    

Careers  ranged  from  the  ‘Air  Force’  where  visitors  could engage  in  safe  target  prac se,  to  a  ‘Midwife’  informa on desk where they learnt to swaddle a baby.  

All  the  Year  9  informa on  stalls  were  very  professional. Primary  students  were  thoroughly  engaged  during  the a ernoon  Expo.  A ending  staff  commented  on  the wonderful effort by Year 9. 

Learning about Vietnam

Students in Year 1/2 have been learning all about Vietnam with Ms Ryan. They have been reading stories and making the Vietnamese flag. Students also learnt to make rice paper rolls and then got to eat them. Many of the students tried food they had never tried before.

During the school holidays the students at Bowraville Central School were kept busy preparing their show ca le to take to this years Macksville Show on May 3rd and 4th.  The  students have been growing  fresh produce  to enter  in  the compe on  in  the pavilion and  they will  also be submi ng their first jar of honey from their brand new beehive. An cipa ng this year's show, giant pumpkin seeds were planted in December in prepara on to give that category a go ... however reports are that a  growth spurt is needed (fingers crossed!)  Last year's garlic crop was a huge success, both in size and yield and Ca le Team students will have a stall at the show where  they will  be  selling  the  garlic  and  our  school  farm  honey.  Please  drop  by  the  stall  and  show  your support for this keen young team of farmers.    In other Agricultural news, Year 8 entered the Flow Waggle Dance compe on and released a video that required Facebook  likes on  the school's Facebook page.   The students put  in a great deal of effort  to produce  this video, which sums up their passion and dedica on to educa on and agriculture. The compe on closed on April 28 so we again have our fingers crossed that we have won the flow hive prize.   The Macksville Show provides a huge program of entertainment and fun for the en re family, not to men on the chance to display your art, cra s, produce and flowers.

BCS Staff in Focus  Went to school at:                                                                                                

Goulburn, NSW 

Experience/Background: 

Teaching in the Nambucca and Macleay for last 15 years.  

What I teach / my roles at Bowraville Central: 

I commenced my posi on at Bowravillle Central School at the beginning of this year. I teach Visual and Performing Arts for all stages.  This term I have taken over the role of Year Advisor for Year 9. 

Interests:  

I love the ocean, bush and rivers. Especially love camping and bush walking. 

Other comments:  

I really enjoy the people who make up the communi es of this region. 

BCS Alumni Where are they now? Our Past Students Years at Bowraville Central School:  I  completed  all  of  my  years  of  schooling  at  BCS  from Kindergarten to gradua ng Year 12 in 2014.  

Where I went when I le BCS:       I worked  in hospitality during a gap year and began studying a Bachelor  of  Sport  and  Exercise  Science  at  Southern  Cross University,  gradua ng  in  2018.  In  2017  I  was  selected  for  a month long student exchange program to the Tianjin University of Sport in China. This was an absolutely unreal experience and I would encourage all to give such opportuni es a go.   What I am doing now:  I  am  currently  having  a  years  break  from  study  and  plan  on studying  Physiotherapy  in  2020.  I  hope  to  work  with  elite athletes in the future.  

Memories of Bowraville Central School:  I  have made  some  great  friendships  at  BCS with  students  and staff. Being such a small school everyone knows each other and it  really  feels  like  a  big  family.  I  have  been  on  countless excursions  for  sport,  leisure  and  academics  which  aren’t possible without the great support form the BCS staff.  

Interests: Sport, exercise and cooking  

Other comments:

Without the outstanding support from the staff at BCS, par cularly during my HSC, I don’t believe I would be where I am 

today, pursuing my dream of becoming a physiotherapist. I can’t thank BCS enough for guiding me through my schooling 

and the forever las ng friendships that were formed.
