Each year, the Parents' Association arranges for a guest speaker to discuss parenting topics with parents. This year, they have invited Emma-Rose, a practising psychologist, to speak on the important issue of peer pressure and how to help our children stand up for themselves.

OUT OF SCHOOLHOURS CARE

Over the past year, we have discussed during School Council meetings our current Out of School Hours Care service provider OSHClub. 

 

We are currently going through the process of looking at other OSHC providers and what they offer. We would like to get some additional feedback from families about the current OSHC service. If you have a few minutes please email me bronwyn.garrity@education.vic.gov.au with your thoughts. We will discuss this feedback at the next School Council meeting on Tuesday night.

SNACK SHACK

Weeks 9-11

Mrs Schaper, our Canteen Manager, will be on leave during weeks 9 to 11. Parent volunteers have kindly offered to help run the Canteen in her absence. To assist our volunteers, there will be some changes to the menu and operation of the Canteen:

  • Wednesdays: Only sushi rolls will be available for purchase.
  • Thursday and Friday: Normal menu
  • No over-the-counter sales at lunchtime.
  • Week 11: The Canteen will be closed.

Please be understanding and thank the parent volunteers for their assistance during this period.
