From the Principal

Dear Families,

The Stand Up Project: Upstander Training for Staff and Parents.

Through our partnership with The Stand Up Project on Monday 16th June, all our school staff will be participating in Upstander Training. This important workshop will be delivered by our very own Upstander Leaders—a dedicated group of staff and students who are passionate about empowering others to speak out against bullying, discrimination, and harmful behaviours. The training will focus on practical strategies for becoming confident and proactive “upstanders” rather than passive bystanders.

We’re also pleased to offer our parents and carers the opportunity to take part in a similar Upstander Workshop on Thursday 26th June. This session will provide valuable insights into how you can support your child in standing up for what’s right—both at school and in the wider community.

A special thank you to Anna Swan, our Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader, for her valuable support in guiding our student Upstander Leaders. Her encouragement and expertise have helped prepare the students to take on this important role with confidence.

Additional School Enrolment Tour – Friday 20th June

Due to strong interest, we’re pleased to offer an additional school enrolment tour on Friday 20th June. This is a great opportunity for prospective families to explore our school, meet our staff, and learn more about our welcoming and vibrant learning community.

If you are looking to enrol a Prep student for 2026, please note that enrolments are now open and we are currently accepting applications. We encourage families to submit enrolment forms early to secure a place.

Reminders:

Expression of Interest: School Council Community Member Vacancies

We are currently seeking expressions of interest from our school community to fill two vacant Community Member positions on our School Council.

The School Council plays an important role in shaping the direction of our school, supporting strategic planning, and fostering a strong connection between the school and its wider community. Community members bring valuable perspectives and expertise to the Council, helping to ensure our decisions reflect the needs and aspirations of our families.

If you are passionate about education, community engagement, and supporting our school’s ongoing growth and success, we’d love to hear from you!

To express your interest, please contact me directly via email mathew.montebello@education.vic.gov.au  

We welcome enquiries and are happy to provide more information about the role and what’s involved.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to our school community in a meaningful way.
