Northern Round Up

Week 6 started with the laying of the new concrete slab in front of the library. This area has been an area that muddy and grass finds it difficult to grow. This will expand the current walkway and be more practical for the future. 

Reconciliation Week was part of Week 6 and many classes participated in activities to share their awareness of this week. 

Northern Lights were learning about Bush Rangers and they created wonderful artworks of Ned Kelly in the style of Sidney Nolan.

Our Little Legends of Onyx continue to shine as they make their way with finding friends of ten. This amazing skill is a foundation for future success.

The Brumbies started their football clinic at school. This huge highlight of all our students has been going well. 

Emerald continue their brilliant work with amazing colourful painted works of art. The way the lines strike through as a contrast highlight the amazing images being made by our Northern Stars.

Our Assembly was postponed in Week 5 and took place in Week 6. Our students loved sharing their work on the stage. 

The book fair was set up at the end of Week 6 for Week 7. We hope that all our students enjoyed the chance to buy a great read.

The eek ended with our Stage 3 students visiting our Nations Capital and visiting Parliament House and the National Portrait Gallery.

Another Busy Week was had in Week 7.

Onyx continued their work in Mathematics and explored the world of Triangles. This resulted in a colourful image that was created by the entire class. It looks so effective.

Our Book Fair was held and we reached the goal set for the week. We hope that all of our students enjoyed the chance to buy a book and improve their reading skills. Our next fair will be held around Halloween in Term 3. 

Excitement in rising as our backdrops arrive for the 'Wizard of OZ'. It is not long now until we get to this great event. Make sure you get your tickets early the evening performance is almost sold out!!!

The Southern Tablelands Dance Festival was held. Our dancers were amazing and totally enjoyed the experience. We are planning on starting early for 2026, please encourage your children to join in.

We held our school finals for the Multicultural Perspective Public Speaking Competition. Our students were brilliant on the stage in front of their peers. Such a hard skills yet our students shined like the North Stars that they are. 

Our Book Fair held a competition for the Dog Man Graphic Novel and our talented students created some amazing work. We have future authors here at North.

Northern Lights continued their adventures into Bushrangers and made some traditional damper in their cooking program. Our James is an absolute Wiz in the kitchen.

The Brumbies came back for more work with out students whilst our boys went away and tried out for the touch football gala day. What a busy way to end the week. 

Week 8 was a quieter week. It started with some frost covering the playground as Winter was making itself felt across the school. We thank our breakfast volunteers for supporting our students with getting some hot toast and warm milo on days like this. 

Our Northern Lights students continue with Zones of Regulation, whilst our Little Legends in Onyx explore 2D shapes with geoboards. Learning is always taking place in each and every room.

Miss Bullion finished her time at North and in fact Australia. She is heading off to the UK and is planning of relocation herself in the London area. We wish her the best for her next journey and thank her for her support of our students over the last three years. 

Our senior classes got together and enjoyed a wonderful game of Oz Tag fitness and fun all rolled into one!

Northern Lights changed topics from Bushrangers and commenced Transport. They made wind powered cars and tested their creations with a fan. These wonderful tests are available to view on Facebook. 

The week ended with our senior students doing some buddy work with our Little Legends. They made some wonderful penguins that are on display in the classroom. 

Such a busy week 8!! We hope Week 9 is a little more relaxed!

Term 2 Week 9 was a quieter week. We continued to focus on the learning needs of our students with amazing and exciting learning experiences. 

Whilst the weather was really cold and ordinary this week, we were able to use the hall to continue with Physical Education lessons. 

Our final week of learning for Semester 1 was very busy! It was also our opportunity to be involved with activities for NAIDOC week 2025. So our classes engaged with many learning opportunities to develop our knowledge on the theme for 2025 of "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy". We had an amazing experience with an elder who shared their story with our students.

The House Competition came to a conclusion with Mulwaree House receiving their Sausage sizzle. 

Our Northern Star readers were rewarded for their reading with a raffle draw for the Raiders tops. Our kids loved these and shared them with pride.

Stage 2 went off to Canberra and experienced the wonders of Questacon with all the hands on opportunities given to all our students. 

The Wizard of OZ performances are in full swing, with the show being held just after the break in week 2. We cannot wait to share it with the school and community. We are so proud of all our performing students.
