News at Central PRINCIPAL: Michael Fisher

Welcome to another awesome term at Broken Hill Public School.

We look forward to more exceptional learning at Central this

term and continue to inspire the Power Of Positives (POP).

Congratulations

Congratulations to our newly inducted School Representative

Council (SRC) who received their badges during the last week

of last term. We look forward to all the work you will do as

leaders in our school.

Congratulations also to our Gala Day teams who competed

during the last week of Term 2. Great efforts from our Boys AFL

and Girls Netball teams as they took on other schools in Broken

Hill. Thank you to the staff who coached and assisted on the

day.

Reports

During the last week of Term 2, families will have received

Semester 1 Reports, highlighting their child’s progress so far this

year. It is a great opportunity to talk with your child about their

progress and setting goals for the rest of the year. If you have

any questions please contact your child’s class teacher to

arrange a time.

Term Planner

A term planner is being sent home to all families that highlight

important dates and events in the school. Please place this in a

prominent place to keep you informed. Other things may ‘crop

up’ during the term that are not on the planner but notes will be

sent out with any relevant information.

Eisteddfod Announcement

Hello everyone,

Please be reminded that the Eisteddfod, which will be held at the Civic Centre, is fast approaching and

students should be practising regularly for whatever event or events they have entered.

When I receive the times for individual music performances, I will contact families straight away. All

Speech and Drama times will be given to the class teacher, who will let you know.

The dates for the Eisteddfod are as follows: Saturday 17th August Piano – from 10.00am Instrumental – from 2.00pm

Sunday 18th August Vocal events – 9.30am and 2.00pm

Monday 19th August School choirs – from 9.30am Vocal, Choral, Pop Star final – from 7.00pm Tuesday 20th August Speech and Drama events – from 9.30am and 1.30pm Wednesday 21st August Verse Speaking Choirs (1Z and 3/4H) – from 10.00am Parents, if you have any questions please contact myself for Music events, or the class teacher for Speech and Drama events. The Class Dojo is always a good method for communication, if you can. TIP: This year is the 50th year of the Broken Hill Eisteddfod, so it’s going to be a real showstopper. Please tell all your friends to come along to watch some of the events. It’ll be the best value in town! Many thanks! Annette Northey
