This Week's Actionable Items

Grade 6 Polos & Bomber Jackets

Last year we introduced Grade 6 polos and bomber jackets for the 2021 Grade 6 cohort. The Grade 6 students were involved in the design and enjoyed the design process.  They have all worn their jackets with pride and a real sense of ownership throughout this year.

 The costs were polo tops $42.50 and the bomber jacket $55.50 and we expect that the costs will be similar this year for 2022 Grade 6 students.

Ordering will again be on Trybooking, more information to follow as it becomes available in readiness for 2022.

Level 3  & 4 Camps

Unfortunately due to the current lockdown restrictions we have had to make the unenviable decision to cancel both camps.  We have tried desperately to reschedule however we have been unable to secure any other dates.  We are now busy planning a remote camp for both year levels.

The office will be issuing credits/refunds in the near future.

Lost Property

All readable named uniform has been sorted and returned to the classroom for distribution back to the students.  As you can see from the photo below we have a lot of lost property!

At the end of sorting we had a mountain of un-named lost property.  All lost property has been washed and hung up outside the second-hand uniform shop ready for collection.  We plan to leave these items hung outside the second hand uniform shop until the end of the term.  After this date any remaining items will be donated back to the second-hand uniform shop for resale.

Foundation Bags

At the beginning of the school year, the Department of Education and Training provided every Prep student attending a Victorian government school with a red Prep bag.

The Prep bags contained 14 items, including children’s storybooks, flyers, stickers, and stationery items, all designed to help Prep students and their parents and carers thrive from the start of Term 1.

The Department is now inviting families of current Prep students to participate in a short survey, closing Sunday 29 August.

Feedback will help inform what Prep students and their parents and carers like about the Prep bags and what can be improved in 2022. To have your say, complete the survey through SurveyMonkey.

The survey takes about five to ten minutes to complete. For more information on this year’s Prep bags, refer to the Prep Bags 2021 web page on the Department’s website.

2022 Intentions

Please let the office know if you are planning not to return to Rangeview in 2022 so that we can plan our classes for next year.  If you still have not enrolled your Foundation student for 2022 we would appreciate it if you could send through your enrolment as a matter of urgency. 

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) Applications

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.

Payment amounts this year are $125 for eligible primary school students. Payments are made direct to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions and sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances.

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office on 9874 6381and ask for an application form.

You can also download the form, and find out more about the program and eligibility, on the Department of Education and Training’s Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund web page.

Check with the school office if you are unsure, and please return completed forms to the school office as soon as possible.
