A Message from 

Hannah & Keir

“We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people, the first people to dream, create, wonder, dance, play and learn on this breathtaking land. This land was cared for and respected for tens of thousands of years. The First Nations people lived in companionship with the animals and the life on this land. We acknowledge that this is stolen land and we pay our respects to elders, past, present and emerging.”

Public Meeting 

Last Thursday evening we held our Annual Public Meeting to review the 2023 Annual Report. Ange, Keir and Hannah shared information about student learning, student wellbeing and student engagement as well as the school’s financial position at the end of the 2023 school year. 

We had 27 families connect for the meeting, which is a record attendance for our school! Thank you to Kelly Davis and Ann Brennan for spruiking the event to our community.

The 2023 Annual Report needs to be endorsed by our new school council in week 5, after which it will be published through the newsletter and on Sentral.

ANZAC Day 

Thursday 25th April (this Thursday) is ANZAC day. This is a public holiday and the school will be closed on this day. 

SLCs (& OSHC)

This Friday 26th April (the day after ANZAC Day) is an alteration to school day to allow for our Student-Led Conferences. Students are expected to stay at home for this day and to attend the conference with their parents or carers. A special all day OSHC program will be available for any families who need childcare - they will have equipment and a quiet room set up for students to attend their conferences online. 

Parents and carers are able to  book appointments for their child’s classroom teacher and also for our specialist teachers, at a time that suits you. When booking an appointment with our specialist teachers, please keep in mind that there are limited places available for the whole school and only book an appointment if you feel your child needs further engagement, enrichment, support or challenge in that particular subject.

In some special circumstances, teachers may request an in-person appointment to get the most out of the time allocated. If you feel you require an in-person appointment but the classroom teacher has not requested it, please contact the teacher directly to see if this can be arranged.
