Well done, Makenzie - we’re proud of you! 💪🏼
Congratulations to Caitlin L (2RB) on winning the Most Outstanding Tap award across the entire junior school at Elite Dance Studio - an incredible achievement.

Congratulations to Sophie M (6JH) and Lily M (5RC), who have been selected in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association Representative Squad! They will be competing in the Claudia Fatone Shield this January. The tournament will feature 10 representative teams from across Metropolitan Victoria, making this an incredible achievement.
We wish Sophie and Lily the very best and look forward to hearing about this invaluable experience.
Well done and good luck, girls! 💪🏼
A big shoutout to Ebony K, from some of our parents, for her dedication and wonderful contribution while coaching the Under 8s girls’ basketball team over the past two seasons. This year has been extra special, with Ebony also being the girls’ art teacher, making the experience even more meaningful.
Ebony has helped the girls develop not only their basketball skills, but also an appreciation for teamwork, supporting one another, and recognising each other’s strengths.
This season, she coached Maya, Nella (1BH), Erin (1BH) and Sophie (1JR).
Thank you,
Jordan Daley

The Big Summer Read is taking place at Yarra Plenty Regional Library branches these summer holidays!
The Big Summer Read is a fun, state-wide, library program that aims to keep children reading over the school break. It has been developed to raise awareness and ensure all children have access to resources they need to maintain literacy skills over the summer school holidays. How? By visiting their local library and borrowing books to take home!
Our campaign is all about the joy of reading for pleasure and encouraging children to feel empowered through their reading choices.
How do children participate?
1. Be (or become!) a Yarra Plenty Regional Library member. Sign up online or in-branch.
2. Join the Big Summer Read challenge by registering online or filling out the paper log (collected at any YPRL location).
3. Log 5 books read or track reading for 5 days for the chance to win!
Sign up, borrow 5 books, and children can also receive a special activity booklet filled with fun things to do created by well-known authors and illustrators (think Real Pigeons, Dog Man!).
How can your school help?
Schools can help us to engage more children in the campaign by spreading the word and encouraging your communities to participate. To help, we can provide posters, colouring sheets, and compass/newsletter text (attached).
This year, YPRL prizes include: One Piece The Going Merry Pirate Ship Lego Set, Pokémon Charizard Nanoblock Kit, 100pc Crayola Coloured Pencil Pack + a selection of fantastic activity books including The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book and Wings of Fire: How to Draw.
