Principal's News 

Good afternoon families,

We certainly know we have started winter this week with the freezing conditions.

Thank you to Father Andrew for celebrating the sacrament of First Communion with Yr 4MP and Yr 4LP last weekend. It was a beautiful celebration for the parish and school community.

Reconciliation Week

This week all classes have been participating in activities about Reconciliation and gaining an understanding of the culture and history of our First Nations. On Wednesday the school came together in prayer and song to reflect on the meaning of Reconciliation Week and The Long Walk. Mr Tim Richardson- State Member for Mordialloc and Ms Jenna Davey-Burns- Deputy Major of Kingston attended and both spoke about the history of the First Nations in the Aspendale/Mordialloc area. Our Yr 5 & 6 Fire Carriers did a fantastic job in preparing for our Assembly and then running the proceedings. A huge thank you to Mrs Traynor for all the work she did in making this event happen. On Wednesday afternoon the whole school participated in the Mini Long Walk and it was a great way for the school to show recognition for our First Nations.
