Book Week 

 We had a wonderful celebration of literacy on Thursday last week as we celebrated Book Week for this year. This year's theme was "Book An Adventure!" and encourages our kids to embark on fantastical journeys, inspiring them to travel through the worlds that books open up. We enjoyed hosting the staff and students from Bridgewater PS for a day of activities put together by our shared MARC Van Librarian Mrs. G and it was great to see the pride our Raywood kids took in sharing their learning space with others. A big thank you to Mrs. G for her working organising crafty learning activities for this day and also for organising for all students to receive a book to take home. We look forward to catching up with our new friends from Bridgey PS again next term. 

Chicken House Renovations Underway! 

We are very thankful to our local Kiwanis Club for their support in giving our Chicken House some much needed love and care. So far the group have removed some old fencing and will be back next week to install a new fence, fix up the gates and ensure it is chicken ready. Hopefully, this means after the school holidays we can re-introduce some feathery friends to our school environment. If you’re not aware, Kiwanis is an international organisation whose mission is to improve the world one child and community at a time. Our local Kiwanis group is very active throughout Bendigo and we certainly appreciate their help with this project. 

Parent Opinion Survey 

 Parent Opinion Survey letters were sent home last week with all children. Please find a few moments to complete this important school feedback survey if you haven’t already 😊
