A message from the Principal

This week is statewide Education Week.

Education Week is an annual celebration of public education in Victoria. This year’s theme is ‘Active Learners: Move, Make, Motivate’, which celebrates physical activity, hands-on learning and student voice in education.

During the week our classes have been engaging in a range of classroom activities linked to this theme and we are looking forward to sharing some of these with you in our next couple of newsletters.

The high point of the week will be a whole-school active event straight after our Friday morning assembly this week (19th May) where we will try to move, make and motivate with the whole community (parents and carers included).

This event will take the form of a whole-school dance on the basketball court at 9:15am. Classes across the school are currently getting active and learning the Australian tradition of the 'Nutbush'. We aim to get the music going, get up and celebrate together and we invite all of our community to join in. We know from Jazz in the Park this year that many of our parents are familiar with the moves and should have no problems getting involved.

For those new to this quite strange tradition, the moves can be learnt at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHqzjQty7aY

We look forward to you joining us being active learners on the morning!

Neil Scott

Principal
