Student Art Show
This year we are pleased to announce that a Student Art Show will also be held in the first week of Term 3. Admission is free and all community members are encouraged to come into the main building to view a wide range of students’ artwork. The exhibition of students’ artwork can be seen in the corridors and the Principal’s Office.
Student Reports
The Student Mid-year Reports will be available to parents from 3:00 pm on Friday 16 June. Please take the time to read these reports and share the information with your child. It is a time stop and reflect on the gains made by students in their learning journey.
Parent Teacher Interviews
Parents and carers are encouraged to make a booking for the Parent/Teacher Interviews which are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday next week. The interviews will be held online via Webex.
Year 1 Concert
On Wednesday, this week the Year 1 Concert was performed by students on stage in the Gym. This was a wonderful event which was thoroughly enjoyed by parents and family members. We were particularly pleased to see the younger students performing so confidently and enthusiastically in front of a very large audience. Congratulations and thank you to our Performing Arts teachers Laura Dimattina and Caroline Barron who guided and encouraged the students in Year 1.
Crossing Safety
The school crossing supervisors have asked me to remind parents and students that they must wait for the sound of the supervisor’s whistle before stepping onto the crossing. It is very disappointing to hear that some parents have been abusive to the crossing supervisors who are doing their job and protecting the safety of students and community members.
Facilities Improvements
The maintenance and improvement of the school’s facilities is an ongoing piece of work. The most recent work has been the replacement of roofing sections on buildings A and B. Additionally, shade sales have been installed on the Walden Field near the long jump pit. The padding should be installed over the next couple of weeks. Funding for these shade sales was through a Victorian Government initiative to create outdoor learning spaces.

The End of Term 2 Assembly will begin at 1:45 pm and conclude at 2:30 pm on Friday 23 June. We wish everyone a safe and restful break and we look forward to the beginning of Term 3 on Monday 10 July.
