Principal's Report

Successful Disco Bingo
Wigs, loud, colourful costumes, shoulder pads, fluro, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s inspired outfits - Many music eras and icons were represented – Prince, the Spice Girls, Devo, Madonna to name but a few. Congratulations to the Parents and Friends team for the organisation of this fun night. Our fundraising goes directly into programs and improved learning and play spaces. The new STEM room, cooling for our hall and improved play spaces are a few of the projects for 2019.
100 Days of School Celebration
There was a party atmosphere with foundation, level 1 and 2 students celebrating 100 days. The food came in a wide range of shape and number fitting the theme. Well done to all of our students for embracing learning, playing and working together.

Production- Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits
Rehearsals and workshops are well underway. Tickets are selling fast for the 5 & 6 production full of fun, singing, dancing and laughs.
Parking in Our Streets
I remind families to not block driveways when parking in the streets around our school. Please be considerate of our neighbours and access to their homes. So, where possible, park away from the school and walk in. This is a safer and healthier way and less congestion.
Our Junior School Council is working on the next Walk/Ride to School day to collect the data on how we arrive to school. Remember to model to your children that the safest way to cross the road is to use our supervised crossings. The audit by Whitehorse City Council of our crossings will be during term 3.
First Aid Training
First aid training was held last Wednesday for teaching and non-teaching staff. It is a life skill that we recognise how important this is to have. The evening covered CPR and Level 2 First Aid Training.
Art Work by 5&6 Students
Superb art work by our talented students. The faces are created from leaves and other natural materials and these will be on display in the main corridor.
