  • 2016 Dunedoo Central School Annual Report
    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.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time -Year C 7th July 2019 FIRST READING: Isaiah 66:10-14 SECOND READING: Galatians 6:14-18 I will send toward Jerusalem peace like a The marks I carry on my body are those of Jesus river. 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.
