Come and participate in a creative storytelling workshop, emphasising the use of objects as keystones for creating stories. Inquisitive playfulness is essential to the creative process of any artist. In“toying” with the story we will generate ideas in an active way: instead of waiting for inspiration, we will actively seek it out. Come and learn how objects (charms, quilts, totem carvings etc) all contribute to storytelling – and how, as storytellers, we give life to the stories through our living gestures and thoughts. Suitable for all levels of experience, this workshop presents numerous original activities developed to improve the storyteller’s creative process and performance.

The school canteen operates at the Middle Cove campusfor Years 3-12. You can also find the menus on the School Stream app. To sign up to volunteer for a shift at the canteen, open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, go to https://signup.zone/glenaeon-canteen, and pick a shift that works for you. Hours are 9am-1pm and your child eats free on the day you are working! It’s fun and interesting to talk, cook and enjoy the bush setting we are surrounded by, come check it out! Warm regards, Sharon & Lorna. To order lunches in Classes 3-6, please send your child’s order in a paper bag. Please include the money for the item in the paper bag: it will help the canteen to have the exact amount in the bag, but it does not have to be exact, as the change will be sent back with the lunch. Children then need to place their lunch order in the basket outside their classroom. There are half sizes available for Classes 3 to 6, equivalent to a quarter baguette. Orders from Classes 3 to 6 will be sent down to the canteen in the morning, with the orders returned to the class at lunchtime, thus enabling these classes to maintain their important practice of sitting and sharing their meal together. (Class 3-6 will not be ordering morning tea or drinks from the canteen).

Humming Cafe provides delicious lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays for the Middle Cove campus. You can order daily using forms and a bag, put into the basket at reception before 9am. If you would like them to deliver a regular lunch on Mon/Tue, you can simply drop into the Humming Cafe and 'pre-book and pay' for a whole term's regular order (or however many weeks are left). It must be the same each week, and can be changed each term. There is no need then to fill in the order form and give to reception each week once this is done. This is the only way Class 3 are allowed to order from Humming Cafe this term. lunches are delivered at 12.50pm. Order forms are available at reception, on the School Stream app or behind the parent portal on the school website.

8. Interested to a country retreat near the Warrumbungle national park?
We offer a share of a wonderful mud brick house, outside the township of Coonabarabran on the way to the Warrumbungles National Park.The house was custom built by a local couple, brick by brick, using local clay and amazing recycled timbers. As the house itself is stunning for it’s individual character and very high standard workmanship, the location of the house is as impressive. It’s indigenous name “Illalangi” means “house on the hill”, overlooking with a 360 degree view the bushlands of the southern end of the majestic Pilliga forest and to the west the Warrumbungles mountains. The sunrises are as fascinating as the sunsets...and at night it feels as if one can touch the Milky Way. The main house comprises of a huge open plan living area, flooded by natural light all day. There are 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet, a laundry and storage room and another toilet-house outside. There is also a smaller house where the original owners lived while building the big house. The little house can be easily updated into a permanent accommodation again. Around the house are beautifully landscaped gardens and an orchard with producing fruit trees and, currently dormant, commercial size garden beds for veggie growing. On title is bore water which has drinking quality. The are also two huge rain water tanks. The block of land has a size of almost 8 hectares.

We currently share this property on a 50:50 basis with friends. As our co-owners have moved on, a 50% share is available now.  If all this sounds interesting to you, then please let us know and come and stay a few days at this magical place ... and take it from there ... Edgar Maier

FUN FRENCH CLUB AT GLENAEON

When: The class is on a Monday afternoon from 3.45pm to 4.45pm

Lefrench teaching methodology: 
Children just love the French Clubs fun approach to language learning which involves lots of games, songs, drama and other lively activities. You will be amazed at how much they learn and how quickly!

Lefrench Club's Methodology is based on informal, fun activities, such as crafts, music and songs, lively games, weekly activity sheets for each child, and progress reports for parents to reinforce at home (via email).

This interactive and communicative approach is supported by professionally designed materials including flashcards, board games and activity sheets.
The Club’s method makes learning fun and stress-free. While children play games, sing songs, act out role plays and interact with each other, they absorb the new language without consciously thinking about it. Naturally this all takes place within a carefully structured progressive sequence which enhances learning

Sophia, Roxana and Tim qualified for the next level: the AICES Cross Counrty Championships!
It is a great day and so good to see so many of our students having a go at a healthy sport and activity without chasing a ball!! Running is one of the easiest and healthiest activities we can undertake to tackle the issues of our increasingly sedentary lifestyles and related negative health implications. Particularly the many Yr 7 students need to be congratulated for signing up and in some cases training for the event.
Sophia Thompson in Yr 8 was our standout runner among the girls as her excellent time of 19:57min (4 km) meant she would have also won the 15 and 16-years-old girl’s competition!!!!
Tim Bacon, who has participated in all crosscountry carnivals from Yr 7 to Yr 11 (a school record!!) also had a very good time just 4 seconds shy of winning the race in a very fast 22:48 over 6 km, a truly fast time! But this day was also about trying, about gaining confidence about encouragement by motivating the runners every time they passed the area where everyone was waiting with Hi-Fives along the way giving them renewed energy and enthusiasm to do well.  Running is much more than just running as we can gain so much by achieving physically and emotionally in the great outdoors and by finding out about how well our bodies can carry us if we persevere and show resilience when the going gets tough! 
I congratulate all the participants and hope they can all be back to build on their individual successes in 2020!
- Jonas Stoebe
