Principal's Report 

School Swimming Carnival

This Friday 31st March is the whole school Swimming Sports Carnival. All of the students in the school will get to participate in both swimming and novelty events that are at their level of swimming competency.

The focus for the carnival is about fun and participation, with all students earning valuable points for the house factions. Please be mindful that all students are required to wear a ‘rashie’ shirt, or something similar throughout the day to ensure protection from the sun. Mrs Vaughan has worked hard in recent weeks organising the carnival and we thank her for her efforts. If any parents are able to assist with the carnival, please contact Mrs Vaughan at school or at the pool on the day. We look forward to a fun and exciting event.

Caritas Ks

Thursday 6th of April we look forward to running the annual Caritas K’s event beginning at 9:00am. All parents are welcome to come down and enjoy the walk/run with the students. We will encourage no dogs during the event due to child safety. Whilst the students enjoy the opportunity to walk and run around  Lake Weeroona, the Caritas Ks is an opportunity to fundraise and educate people at our school, and wider community in social justice, with the aim of inspiring them to "be more" and "be a voice" for the poorest in our world.

Final Liturgy & End of Term

School term finishes Thursday 6th April at 2:30pm. Preceeding the end of term our students will participate in a final liturgy in the hall at 2pm.

School Closure - Term 2 Start Date

Please note there will be a Pupil Free Day on the first day of Term 2, Monday 24th April, followed by the ANZAC Day Public Holiday Tuesday 25th April.  Therefore Term 2 starts on Wednesday 26th April.  Please mark these dates on your calendars.

School Cross Country

On Wednesday 26th April, the first day back, our students will be participating in the School Cross Country.  This whole school event will be held at Strathdale Park Ovals from approximately 9.30am – 12.30pm.  The aim of the event is to encourage students to try their personal best, and to practise persistence and resilience. Our school cross country is also a qualification event for Grade 3-6 students for Division Cross Country. The top 10 competitors in each Gr 3-6 age group will automatically qualify for the Division event to be held the following week on May 3rd at Bendigo Racecourse.

God Bless
