Boorowa Central School

Principal's Message

Message from Mrs Paula Hambly

Welcome back to term 2 where the opportunities at Boorowa Central School for this term are already presenting themselves to our students. We have had History incursions and sporting events and these events will continue as the term progresses.

 

I am currently reading Year 12 reports and these will soon be distributed to students and will provide them with areas of focus between now and the commencement of the Higher School Certificate.

 

Today I will be presenting at the annual Department of Education Roadshow where Boorowa Central School has been identified as demonstrating best practice for our initiatives surrounding student welfare. It is nice to be recognised at this level for our hard work and the value we are adding to student’s education.

 

We commemorated ANZAC Day in week one of this term. The hall provided a more intimate venue due to the rain but still maintained the solemnity of the occasion. Our students in all years demonstrated our core value of respect during this ceremony. It is always a well organised occasion and thank you to the Drum Corp and the Cadets for their involvement. Having ANZAC Day in the holidays always presents its own challenges however this year we had a large contingent of students and staff who participated in the town march. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in such a special day and I encourage all students to be a part of. There are many towns where schools are only allowed to have Captains march in the ceremony.   Boorowa includes the whole school and this inclusivity is to be applauded.

 

Have a great term.

 

 

Parent Information

  • Students are not permitted on school grounds before 8.30am or after 3.30pm, as per the Inclosed Lands Act, this is to ensure the safety of our students as no supervision is provided outside of these hours.
  • If parents are on school grounds between 9.00am and 3.00pm they are required to sign in at the office.
  • Infants/Primary students are supervised from 8.30am and are to remain in the Infants/Primary COLA assembly area.  Parents and students are not to be in the classrooms/hallways as these areas are not supervised.
  • Student pick up of an afternoon is at 3.00pm and therefore parents are requested to enter the school grounds no earlier than 2.50pm.
  • Students are not to ride bikes or scooters in the school grounds at any time.
  • Students are to wear helmets at all times when riding bikes or scooters.

Boorowa Central School Fees for 2019

The Voluntary School Contribution remains at $40 per child. This is considerably lower than most other schools in our area. Whilst this is a voluntary fee we would ask that as many families as possible pay this amount to assist with our running costs.

 

The Secondary Course Fees for Electives are compulsory. These fees must be paid by Week 10 Term 1 or your child will be asked to select a non-fee paying elective. These fees enable us to purchase equipment and other necessary items to enable the course to be successfully delivered. Once again these fees are considerably lower than most schools in our area.

 

Fees can be paid at the front office with cash or cheque or online via our website:

I thank you for your support in meeting these obligations.
