COVID 19 Advice

Students and staff should stay home when sick. Students, staff and visitors should only attend school when feeling well and symptom-free. Follow NSW Health advice on Testing and what to do if you have COVID-19

Parents and carers of children with persistent or ongoing COVID-19 symptom should discuss these with their local health care professional. These symptoms may be related to other illnesses (such as allergies or hay fever) and benefit from treatment and management by a doctor.

From the start of 2024, rapid antigen tests (RAT) are no longer available free of charge to schools. NSW Health recommend Testing for COVID-19 if you have symptoms and are at higher risk of serious illness.

Riverina netball trials

One cold winter morning my dad and I travelled to Wagga Wagga. When we got there we were put into teams. Luckily I knew most of my team and the people I didn't know I got to know well. The lovely people running this event had high expectations and if we didn't manage to show them what they wanted they would politely say that you didn't get in. During the games I mainly played defence and a bit of centre. The most important thing about this experience was that I learnt new things and made new friends.

Musica Viva

We had Musica Viva on Wednesday 22 May. We went into Thurgoon and we all listened to the amazing music by Wyniss.

Then they showed us how to use string to make spears and other stuff. We also played some games. They had lots of different instruments. One of them was made out of bamboo and one was made out of hollow wood. They used goanna skin to make the drum. Some people got to go up onto the stage with them and play games with them. It was a lot of fun. Then we had to say goodbye.

National Simultaneous Storytime

On the 22 May Mrs Rosmulder read a book called Bowerbird Blues. The book was amazing. We all loved it. The book was about a bird that loves blue things. He loved the blue things because he was trying to get a girlfriend and at the end of the book he was dancing in the air.

After we listened to the story we had a choice of doing a treasure hunt or a drawing. Most of us did a treasure hunt.

by Zali

Learning with Mrs Rosmulder

During the first few weeks of term Thurgoon students have been learning how to create their haiku poems. A haiku poem can be made of complete sentences or jsut a fragment of partial thought. The first line needs to have 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the last line 5 syllables. All students have successfully created several poems each about our changing seasons. A few students were even able to apply their Bpangerang knowledge of seasons and use Bpangerang words within the haiku poems.
