    Dunedoo Central School Annual Report 2016 1789 Page 1 of 23 Dunedoo Central School 1789 (2016) Printed on: 5 May, 2017 Introduction The Annual Report for 2016 is provided to the community of Dunedoo Central School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self–assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. 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! GOSPEL: Luke 10:1-12. 17-20 ‘Before you all the earth shall bow; shall sing to you, sing to your name!’ Your peace will rest upon him. Come and see the works of God, tremendous his deeds among men. He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the river dry-shod. Let our joy then be in him; he rules for ever by his might. Come and hear, all who fear God. I will tell what he did for my soul. Blessed be God who did not reject my prayer nor withhold his love from me.

  • Trip Notes As at 29 November 2020 by CWC Sub-Committee, Mudgee Bushwalking and Bike Riding Club Inc. 1. Mudgee to Gulgong
    Trip notes as at 29 November 2020 By CWC sub-committee, Mudgee Bushwalking and Bike Riding Club Inc. 1. Mudgee to Gulgong (30 Km) Cycle out of town in a westerly direction along the Castlereagh Highway. About 2.4 kilometres from the Post Office turn right. Cycle along the quiet Wilbetree Road with its pastoral landscape of early settlement along the Cudgegong River. You will cross the Wilbetree Bridge (9.4KM) and continue straight. The sealed road will soon change to gravel. At a Tee intersection turn left (18.7 km) along the Canadian Lead Road, an old gold mining landscape. This gravel road will continue right to Gulgong. At the next Tee intersection, with Mayne Street (28km) turn left and cycle up to the shops of Gulgong. At Herbert Street intersection turn left and travel one block to the Post Office. Stroll around the town centre and visit the many museums. The Holtermann Museum in Mayne Street is strongly recommended and a world class exhibition. Mudgee and Gulgong offer a myriad of accommodation both in hotels, motels, and Bed & Breakfasts. Contact the Mudgee Visors Information Centre. Loop Rides From Mudgee Numerous cyclists have asked for Loop Rides - 1. Mudgee to Gulgong and return: Take the main CwC ride to Gulgong via Wilbetree Road, Canadian Lead and Mayne St. into Gulgong. The simplest route to return is Henry Lawson Drive all the way. However note this is a sealed road and while often quiet, traffic can be fast. Take care. Cycle down Mayne Street - traveling east, and this becomes Henry Lawson Drive.
