Principal’s Note
Dear Parents and Friends
Welcome to another issue of our
newsletter.
It has been another exciting week at
Dalby South. Last weekend three
touch football teams took part in the
Queensland All Schools touch
carnival. Even though our teams did
not make the grand finals they all
did an amazing job competing as
part of some very fierce competition.
Our teams never gave up and
certainly learnt a great deal from the
experience. They were well
supported by a huge number of
parents and supporters who braved
the extremely windy conditions to
cheer them on. I am very

appreciative of our parent coaches
who helped prepare our teams for
the event together with Miss Moore,
Miss Ackery and Ms White who
coached and organized the teams
for both touch football carnivals.
Yesterday I met with a range of
people at the Council Chambers
about our ongoing quest for Traffic
Lights on Owen and Drayton St. I
took the opportunity to once again
state our case for traffic lights prior
to a set of public information
workshops that are scheduled for
next week. On Wednesday 13
November at BMO 6-7pm the
Eastern Access plan will be
discussed, then from 7-8pm the
Western Access plan will be shared
with those present. I believe that
residents and businesses along
Drayton St have received a copy of
the proposed road upgrades. If you
would like to know more about the
road upgrade then the display and
information session at BMO will be
able to answer all your questions.
Our school will certainly be present
at this information session and we
would be pleased to see any other
interested residents present also.
This Friday we are being visited by
the National Rodeo Queen and two
Runners Up who will be in Dalby for
the National Pro Rodeo Finals being
held this weekend. These visitors
will be sharing with students what
they have to do in this role and
explaining more about their
upcoming trip to Calgary in Canada
where they will represent Australia.
It will certainly be a very big
weekend of Rodeo in Dalby which I
am sure many residents and
members of our school community
will enjoy.
Finally don’t forget our Performing
Arts night next Thursday the 13th of
November. Our Choirs and bands
will all be performing in a great night
of entertainment being held at Dalby
State High School Performing Arts
Centre from 6.30pm. I hope that
you will join us at that time.
Kind regards
Dave, Kate, Paul & Joel
