Dear Parents,

Term 3 started with a big bang with Harvey in Year 5 and Sophie in Year 6 being offered an opportunity by the Melbourne Football Club to be the Junior MC's at the AFL game between Melbourne and Richmond on the 12th July. This was a great opportunity for these students as well as for our school. It was also wonderful to see so many families at the game in support of Harvey and Sophie.

So far this term, we have had a number of other wonderful opportunities for our students including Hooptime for our Year 3/4s where one of the teams made it to the grand final, a Mathematics competition for our Year 5s, a Confirmation Reflection day for our Year 6s and 100 Days of Learning for our Preps.

Also, this term we are expanding our Chess program with the introduction of a Sunday Chess Club for those chess enthusiasts. This is to complement our lunchtime Chess Club and Chess Tournaments. Please see the below flyer to register.

In terms of enrolments across the school not including Prep, we have had 13 new students and 4 short term international students start so far this year. For Prep 2027, we have 17 confirmed and we also now have enrolments up until 2031. For those families with siblings starting in 2027, please note the dates for the Information Night and Transition Days.
