Principal’s Note
COVID-19 (Corona Virus) Update
Thank you for your understanding during these
uncertain times. I would like to reassure you all that in
accordance with the Prime Minister’s and the Premier’s
address to the country, Junee Public School along with
all Government schools are open. We will continue to
follow the expert medical advice which is informing
these decisions. This week we sent home a letter with
every student which outlines changed policy and
procedures. This letter can also be view on the
Facebook page and the APP. You can also get the free
NSW School Updates app to receive operational status
updates for NSW Public Schools. It can be found in the
APP store or Google Play
https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/practical-
help-for-parents-and-carers/nsw-school-updates-app
Unfortunately we have had to cancel activities external
to the school and reduce contact within the school. If
you would like clarification around this please read the
letter or contact the school. While some activities have
been cancelled others have been altered in the school
environment in accordance with the directive we have
been given from the Department.
I apologise that there are no face-to-face parent
teacher meetings this term. If you would like to speak
with your child’s teacher, you can;
• Email them directly
• Call the school to schedule a suitable time to
speak with them over the phon.
In the meantime we are continuing to follow the
directives given to us;
• Washing hands regularly and thoroughly
throughout the day. Every classroom has
sanitiser dispensers and students are using this
when going in and out of the classroom,
before and after every break. We have
reinforced with the students the importance
for social distancing and good hygiene
practices after going to the toilet.
• Sneezing and coughing into elbows or a tissue,
disposing of the tissue straight away and then
washing your hands.
• Stay home if you are unwell and in schools,
send home staff or students who show signs of
being unwell through the day. This is to
protect your children and staff. When you are
unwell your immune system can be
compromised.
We thank you for your cooperation at this time and
want to reassure you that the health and well-being of
everyone is our priority.
National Day of Action Against
Bullying & Violence- Bullying No
Way Day & Harmony Day
This Friday 20th March is a National Day of Action
Against Bullying and Violence and our students will be
engaging in lessons with a focus on positive behaviour
towards others. Our Positive Behaviour for Learning
values of Responsibility, Respect and Success will
underpin these lessons. Students will be learning about
bullying and strategies to deal with bullying, enforcing
the message the we ‘Say NO to bullying’ and have no
tolerance for bullying inside or outside the school
grounds.
Harmony Week is acknowledged in March each year
and is a celebration of our cultural diversity, a day
where we celebrate cultural respect for everyone who
calls our wonderful country home. The theme this year
is, “Everyone Belongs” and we will be celebrating the
cultural inclusiveness we experience in Australia and at
Junee Public School. Harmony Day is represented by
the colour orange. Traditionally this colour signifies
social communication and meaningful conversations.
Harmony Day falls on the 21st March and we will be
acknowledging Harmony Day this Friday alongside
Bullying No Way Day. The students are encouraged to
wear a small orange item with their school uniform as a
way of acknowledging mutual respect. In addition,
students will be participating in classroom activities
which are centred on the theme “Everyone Belongs”.
Due to Covid-19 precautionary measures being in
place we will no longer open the school to parents and
the wider community for this event and have cancelled
the International Food Day component of the day.
We will continue to keep you updated as more
information is distributed to us. In the meantime,
please ring us if you have any concerns or would like to
clarify anything.
Enjoy the remainder of your week and
look after each other.

News from the Classroom
We have had a busy start to the year in Muliyan. I have
been extremely impressed with my class ability to
settle into an effective routine despite a number of
distractions. There is clearly learning happening with
students displaying a high level of curiosity and
engagement during group work. We have been busy
working on our ability to provide increasingly
sophisticated contributions and building on the ideas
of others during class discussions.
In Literacy, we have been exploring Narrative texts.
Thus far, we have been looking at utilising language
features, developing clear structure in our pieces of
writing, creating interesting settings and building
unique characters to live in our stories. We have been
reading The Witches by Roald Dahl and exploring how
these features are evident in the writing of other
authors.
During Mathematics we have been consolidating and
extending our understanding and application of key
concepts in whole number, addition and subtraction
and multiplication and division. It has been great to
see how enthusiastic everyone has been during
Mathematics.
In our other key learning areas we have been exploring
Federation in History, Living things in Science and line
and colour during Art.
I am so proud of the way my students have carried
themselves so far this term and it has laid the ground
work for a very productive year moving forward.

Harmony Day
Harmony Day is a celebration of our cultural
diversity and is celebrated around Australia on March
21st.
National Day of Action against Bullying and
Violence is held on March 20th. At Junee Public School
we are combining our participation in these important
days and celebrating both on Friday March 20th 2020
by asking students to wear orange. Due to current
health precautions, we will have alternative class
lessons based on this.
PBL
This fortnight our PBL focus has been Hands and Feet
to Self. Students are reminded to follow this school
expectation to ensure that they are safe at school and
have positive and respectful relationships with their
peers.
Our Sentral data shows that we need to explicitly teach
this focus and reinforce our schools expectations. This
expectation comes at a poignant time where our
children's health is in focus and not only allows for
positive behaviour for learning and play but also
keeping ourselves healthy. Please support our school
in discussing this with your child.
The Sports Report (by Mr Cox)
Last Thursday, our boys’ cricket side played against
Cootamundra Public School. Although we came up
against a strong Cootamundra side, our boys are to be
commended on their brilliant attitude, effort and
sportsmanship on the day. Thank you to all family
members who were able to drive students over on the
day, particularly with a last minute change of venue.
We really appreciate it!
Congratulations to Talia-Rose who recently competed
at Riverina Swimming in Albury. We are so proud of
your achievements and know your represented our
school with pride. Well done.
