Grevillea House News

 A warm welcome to all Grevillea families. We have had another very smooth start to the school year. We welcomed our new Year 7s and enjoyed the opportunity to meet many of their families at the welcome afternoon a few weeks ago. We also welcome our new students in Years 8-12 and hope that they enjoy and value the opportunities that Dandenong High School offers.

Our very clear focus this term has been on the learning and teaching and we also continue to encourage our students to attend school every day.  We celebrate and recognise student improvement in attendance via our leader board and also with congratulatory letters home. Please continue to work with us and encourage students to attend school every day when they are well.

We are also celebrating student academic achievement and many of your students are coming home with certificates that recognise their focus and dedication to their learning.

Our Grevillea House Student Representative Council (SRC) is in place and, together with our House Captains Donika and Jethro, they are working towards creating opportunities for students to connect deeper with Grevillea House and to continue to feel that they are valued members of our school community.

There are plans for lunchtime activities between staff and students, fundraising opportunities and peer tutoring for younger students.

Although many of our whole school events have be currently postponed, I would like to congratulate all of the students who participated in the inter-house swimming carnival. As always the House spirit among the staff and students was incredible and the joy at winning was shared by all. I look forward to sharing our news again next term and would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a safe and healthy term break. Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
