‘Life is for Learning’
Principal’s Message
Maureen Nixon
Congratulations Gabby
Congratulations everyone! Our Eisteddfod results are
nothing short of amazing! This is attributed to the hard
work and dedication from teachers and students.
Results so far:
Individual Verse Recital
1st Place: Lachlan Petrie, Olivia Roberts,
Caolan Hazell, Xavier Alling, Samantha
Walshe, Emily Weston & Miffy Hill-Marsh
Our school has received the data that comes with the
NAPLAN results. The staff will now work through all
the data generated by the NAPLAN and use it to help
us develop plans to help our school improve our
results in the coming years.
The Eisteddfod wraps up for us today. I wish to thank
the children who have put in a huge effort in getting
ready for the Eisteddfod, and they can be proud of the
performances they put forward. I also thank the many
parents who came to lend their support throughout the
Eisteddfod. Finally, my thanks must go to the teachers
and support staff that put in so much work for this
event, most especially to Miss Hedges who puts in
many hours choosing poems and listening to and
encouraging individuals. This year we also had
support from Mrs Toni Kennedy who listened to
many of our Primary students and gave them some
valuable tips.. In this Newsletter we have included a
list of prize winners from our school. Your support is
greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for a busy term. We hope the children
and families enjoy a safe holiday and I look forward
to seeing you all on the first day of term 4, which is
Tuesday 7th October.
I would like to congratulate our contestants in the
Regional Spelling Bee Final and wish them well. We
will be well represented by Ben Jones, Lindsay
Torrance, Flynn Greaves and Maddy Seath.
Our Rostrum Public Speaking Representative, Gabby
Osborne competed Tuesday night. Well done Gabby,
you were a credit to our School we were all very
proud.

35 of the 63 performers from Goulburn North earned
recognition for their efforts at the Individual Verse Recital
Section of the Goulburn Eisteddfod. Our children showed
their adaptability, giving engaging recitations in a
cavernous hall. Particular mention should be made of a
number of brave children who showed enormous strength
of character. Thanks, in generous amounts, should be
given to not only the children (for their patience whilst
waiting and extraordinary decorum) but also the family
members whom went along to encourage the children. The
amazing support our parents give to events such as the
Eisteddfod demonstrate what a remarkable school
community we have. A special thank you to Toni
Kennedy, Mrs McGuire and the office ladies for all their
help in getting the children ready for the eisteddfod.
Heartfelt thanks from Miss Hedges and the children.

Special Message from a Parent
“My sincere thanks to Muffy for her
commitment and assistance to the
children preparing for the Eisteddfod.
They as always, were wonderful but I
never underestimate the sheer hard work
she must put in to help them achieve their
successes”

the second day of the Eisteddfod. The
children were enthusiastic, looked smart
and performed to the best of their ability.
Classes KH KN IB 1/2M 3/4T 3/4A and

Goulburn North as well as several Highly
commended certificates.
The adjudicator said of one of the choirs “
Loved the “sound effects the choir was
poised and watched their conductor closely
throughout - well done” and another
“This was a challenging choice of literature
to present today – Overall unison lines are
expressively orchestrated with good clarity –
there was much to praise in the
orchestration and the presentation today.
Thank you to all concerned”
What a great school effort.
Well done to all the students receiving awards at assembly

Investigating forces with science, push, pull etc to Dance
Music……
After an audit by Security
it has been recommended that
we lock the bottom gates
(outside 4/5/6G’s room ) during
school time. As a result we
will lock those gates at 9.30
and re-open them at 3.00 p.m.
It is imperative that all permission
notes are returned to school by the
due day.
If a bus is leaving the School at
9.10 it is impossible for notes
brought in THAT morning to be
marked on master lists and
circulated to the teachers involved.
This can lead to children being
disappointed that they miss out on
an excursion and have to stay at
School because the notes were not
returned on time.
Please keep check on what is
happening at School via the
newsletter.
Your help would be appreciated.

Dance2bfit
Missed Classes
will be made up
next term Over the past few weeks our school has
been enjoying Dance2bfit. Every week
we go to the hall with our instructor
Paul and learn a new dance. We dance
to many popular songs e.g. Happy, We
Will Rock You, Geronimo and many
more. On behalf of our school thank
you Paul and we hope we see you back
here again. Daina Kerr 3/4A

Dance2bfit
This term, we did Dance2bfit on Mondays. It was pretty
good. We learned lots of different dances, had fun staying
fit with our friends and got to groove to the beat of the
music.
All the different dances were pretty cool. It was great
learning new moves, especially when we finally got them
all right. That sometimes took a bit of effort.
We also had a bunch of fun with our friends as we stayed
fit to the music. Some of the dances helped us with our
flexibility, others with our coordination and some that just
made us breathe really hard.
Moving to the beat of the music was probably the best
part, as you don’t get to do that so much in Maths,
Science and English.
I hope we get to do this kind of thing again, as it really
helped energize us and keep us fit.
