Quality education in a caring environment
Principal’s Report
P&C (Parents and Citizens Association)
Last night we hosted our monthly P&C meeting. Thank you to those who attended. During this meeting the
P&C revisited just how many amazing projects their fundraising events have contributed our children and our
school. Over the past two years our families have purchased:
 Hall Projector – this projector has enhanced our weekly and special assemblies, our presentation
days and our school social events such as discos and movie nights.
 Glenno’s Garden – This space is a beautiful asset to our grounds, it is a quite reflective place for
parents, students and community.
 Sporting Uniforms - Our sporting teams are well attired in their new uniforms taking the field, court
and pitch with an even greater sense of pride in themselves and their school.
 Kindergarten Reading Books - Sharing the love of reading and literacy.
 Vegetable Patch – This wonderful environmental resource is much appreciated by the students,
especially those in K-6 JO who have been using its produce to create healthy meals as part of their
PDHPE lessons. Very Yummy 
 The End of Year 6 gifts: As a final gesture of appreciation, love and support our P&C buy the
students graduating in year 6 a gift to remind them of our little family and to share with the students
how much they mean to our school community.
Other long term funding projects that have had significant impact on our school are: Springboard programs,
watering systems, RATS Readers, Circus equipment and Gymnastic equipment – This is a substantial list of
achievements by our parents. The P&C is a group of interested parents and community who meet and advise,
share ideas and vision for the continual development of Narromine Public School. It is a friendly and
supportive group – please consider joining this team by coming to meetings or acting as an event volunteer.
To find out more information please contact our school office or attend the next meeting on Monday the 20 th
July at 6pm in the staff room.
Great things can be achieved by belonging and contributing to our P&C.
Kiss and Drop:
The Kiss and Drop Zone is currently under construction along with a new disabled parking area. This is an
RTA initiative in consultation with Narromine Council and Narromine Public School. Over the past few weeks
Police and RTA have been watching and recording traffic infringements in our School Zone areas. It has been
noted that we are very casual in the way our parents consider student safety when dropping off to start the
day. A number of our families have been caught doing U turns, double parking, parking in bus zones and
speeding in school zones. This is a safety concern. Please consider the safety of not only your own children
but their school mates when driving in our vicinity. Our new Kiss and Drop Zone will assist and elevate the
temptation to double park at the front gate and to do U turns on Meryula Street. The Kiss and Drop provides a
designated area for drivers to pull into, whereby enabling students to vacate the car on the left side and move
directly onto the footpath. A much safer option for dropping off in the mornings. More details will be home
shortly once the area is up and operational.
Did you know that?
 Stopping on/near children’s crossing (school zone) = $415 fine with a loss of 2 points
 Stopping in a bus zone (school zone) = $311 fine with a loss of 2 points
 Approaching a children’s crossing too quickly to stop safely (school zone) = $519 fine with a loss of 4
points
Please drive carefully around schools; we value your decision to put children first.

Denise King Principal
K6-JO Garden Project
K6-JO has decided to revamp a part of the school garden which is located on
the north side of the school, near our classroom. We have had many
discussions on what we should plant and the students have decided that they
would like to make it look pretty but low maintenance. Last week we all went
on a mini excursion to Edgerton Nursery. The students prepared a list of
questions to ask Anna about our garden and Anna did a fantastic job at
answering them all. We received some important tips and tricks and she was
very kind in giving us some seedlings to take back to school. The students
have planted the seeds and are now waiting for them to sprout. Once they
have sprouted we will be able to plant them, which will make our special
garden one to remember. Watch this space…. Mrs Shibble (O’Brien) Classroom Teacher

Peer Support
Lesson 5
The number of children directly involved in bullying behaviours is usually quite low, however the number of
children who know that bullying is occurring is significantly higher. For the next 2 weeks in Peer support,
children will have the opportunity to discuss the ways they can speak up against bullying behaviours in our
school and make a difference. This week they examine their role as bystanders and how to seek help for
someone who is being bullied.
Lesson 6
This is the second week that we have focused on the behaviour of bystanders during Peer Support. This
week, children will practise ways of responding to bullying whether they are directly involved or not, by talking
to the child doing the bullying, the child being bullied or a responsible adult. We use a turn, talk or tell model to
support children to develop strategies for dealing with bullying behaviours. This is not easy for many young
people so your child man need encouragement to persevere.

Sport
A huge congratulation to all students who competed in the school cross country/fun run it was a very
successful day. But an extra congratulation goes to all the students who collected sponsors for the fun run.
This was very successful with Narromine Public School receiving just under $2000 from this sponsorship.
Prizes were ordered at the beginning of last week and should arrive shortly.
Last Friday 41 students travelled to Tullamore for the Gobondery/Narraf cross country. It was fantastic to see
the high level of parent support for the students who were participating. Thank You! Narromine did
exceptionally well with 23 students advancing to the Western cross country carnival in Geurie on Wednesday
10 June. Congratulations to the following students:
