Stories and highlights

Our annual swimming carnival is an exciting event that brings students together to celebrate teamwork, sportsmanship, and aquatic skills. It’s a fun-filled day where students compete, cheer, and enjoy the spirit of friendly competition.

Our annual Easter Family and Friends Fun Day always has a lovely crowd. Family and friends joined us for the Easter Tabloids and then a picnic lunch. The day always features lots of Easter themed sporting activities and was a chance for the whole school to get together and have some fun.

Our school hosted a special visit from author Nat Amoore who is known for her engaging and humorous storytelling.

During her visit, Nat shared insights about her writing process, discussed her books and inspired our students with her passion for reading and creativity. This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn from a professional author and gain a deeper appreciation for literature. Nat also spent some time signing copies of her books.

Our captains and prefects attended a GRIP leadership conference in Tamworth, to learn how to lead our school.

The GRIP Student Leadership Conference is unique in that it concentrates specifically on training student leaders for their role as School leaders. The style, topics, and content of this conference all focus on what the students can do right now.

We would like to thank our P & C committee for their generous donation of new sports uniforms for all our sporting teams, including football, cricket, soccer, touch football, basketball, netball, softball and tennis.

At Narrabri West we have had a great time celebrating NAIDOC Week. We held a whole school assembly and special guests from our community. Each stage presented an item for our community. Kindergarten showed us how to count to ten in Gamilaraay by singing Children at the Fire. Stage One taught us how to name parts of our body in language by singing Bina Mil. We learnt about animals in the bush such as bandaar and dhinawan through the entertaining song of Burrula Murrun Yurrula-a by stage two. Our Stage 3 classes worked together to research the meaning of local totems of bandaar (kangaroo), dhinawan (emu) and bigibila (echidna).

As part of our NAIDOC celebrations, we were fortunate to have a performance and workshop with Australian World Music Star, Mitch Tambo. Mitch is Australia's unique and dynamic First Nations entertainer, renowned as "the new voice of our generation."

It was a fantastic performance, and everyone enjoyed singing and dancing to some old favorites sung in Gamilaraay language, including Twinkle twinkle little star and the Hokey Pokey.

We celebrated Crazy Hair Day raising $202 for Cystic Fibrosis research, which is a cause very close to our hearts here at Narrabri West.

Thanks to Mr Parker for cooking the BBQ at lunchtime, everyone enjoyed their free sausages sandwiches.
