Peter CampbellPrincipal School contact details Dunedoo Central School Digilah St Dunedoo, 2844 www.dunedoo-c.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 6375 1489 Message from the Principal As a school, we continue to implement the thirteen Reforms of the Department of Education that began last year. “Great Teaching Inspired Learning”, “Every Student Every School”, the School Excellence Framework, the Student Wellbeing Framework etc. They include the Resource Allocation Model or RAM, otherwise known as the “Gonski funding”, which we use very carefully and to great effect, to ensure that all students have the opportunity to achieve successful outcomes. The placement of School Learning Support Officers to support students in need, in every classroom, is one initiative that we believe is successful and which is tied to RAM. I thank my colleagues for their patience and enthusiasm as we continue to confront each reform, learn about it together, adapt it for our school, and implement it.

Christ. RESPONSORIAL PSALM: GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia! Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. May the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, and the fullness of his message live within you. Cry out with joy to God all the earth, Alleluia! O sing to the glory of his name. O render him glorious praise. Say to God: ‘How tremendous your deeds!
