Manly Selective High School Band Visit
We were very privileged to host a concert at our school last week, performed by high school students from Manly Selective High School. The talented students performed for just over an hour and also explained about some of their instruments and gave our students opportunities to join in. In return we provided the students and staff with a wood fired pizza lunch. We fed over 80 people for lunch, and the comments from our Manly visitors were very positive - “Best food we have eaten in the week we have been away”.
Class Dojo - ready to revamp Adaminaby Achievers
We love our Adaminaby Achievers program, but we have something in store to help make our program even better! Next term we will be awarding Adaminaby Achievers via a system called Class Dojo. We will be able to tailor the rewards so that students can clearly see what they are being given positive feedback for and we will be able to have discussions with students about what behaviours are important to their learning, to their well being and to their role as a school member. You can watch the student introduction clip via the link on the student's page.
This will be a fun, interactive way, to breath some fresh life into our Achiever program, while still maintaining our level certificates and Adaminaby Achiever shop. We can't wait to get it into action next term!

Jack Heading to Regional Cross Country
|
It was a great day in Nimmitabel for the District Cross Country last Thursday. All our participants put in an awesome effort and took on Heartbreak Hill with style. One of our students needs a special mention, as he put in an extra special performance. Jack came 3rd in his age group and will be going on to the regional Cross Country Carnival in Nowra to compete later in the year.
Congratulations Jack! |
