Hello, from Carolyn.
Respect, responsibility and kindness
Hello everyone,
Please take note- the last day for our students is Tuesday 19th December!
Normal finish time of 3:10pm.
Bushfire at Risk Rating.
Our Bushfire At Risk rating has changed to Category 6. This means that our school will be open regardless of the fire danger rating on any given day.
I hope that you and your family have discussed your fire safety plans and know what you will do if the fire danger rating is extreme or catastrophic. The CFA website has very helpful information- https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare , as does the Bushfire Resilience website- https://bushfireresilience.org.au/ .
Don't leave your preparations or discussions to the last minute!
Communication at our school.
As you know, we had our school review in term 1 and after a review, there are recommendations from the panel. One of the recommendations was to create a document that clarifies the communication methods we use and what they are used for. Attached is a copy of the document and it is also available on our website. Please have a read so you are aware of our expectations around communication, how we will communicate with you all and what is the best way to get in touch with us
Toy and Food Drive.
Below is information about a local toy and food drive you might like to support if you can. It would be a wonderful way to demonstrate our school value of kindness.

If you would like a hard copy of our movie night flyer, please call in to the office to collect one. It would be great for lots of flyers to be up in work places so we get lots of people along to support our last fun-raiser.
