Principal's Update
A big thank you to all the families who joined us for our Father’s Day Breakfast this morning. It was wonderful to see so many dads, grandfathers, and special friends enjoying the morning together with our students. I am also very grateful to our staff who generously gave up their time to cook and serve breakfast—it was a fantastic team effort. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Hot n Sweet Products for their donation of cupcakes, they were truly delicious! Along with this donation we also had a family, that wish to remain anonymous, who donated money for students to purchase a gift at the Fathers Day Stall. This anonymous donation made some of our students very happy to have the opportunity to purchase a gift. It makes me so proud to be a part of this school community when I see things like this happening! I wish all our dads, grandfathers, and special people in our students’ lives a very Happy Father’s Day!
R U OK? Day
Thursday 11th September is R U OK? Day. On this day we are inviting all students to wear a yellow item in support of R U OK? Day and foster understanding about making sure other people are ok.
R U OK? Day is a national day to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life. You don't need to be an expert to reach out - just a good friend and a great listener.
Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
Safe Crossings mean Safe Kids
We’re reminding the community to slow down and take care at school crossings. Our school crossing supervisors do an amazing job, but they can’t do it alone. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids and crossing supervisors safe.
Remember to:
•Slow down around school crossings and prepare to stop.
•Respect School Crossing Supervisors, they’re trained to support your children’s safety.
•Stop and wait until the school crossing is clear of all pedestrians including supervisors.•If the school crossing flags are displayed, you must give way.
•Don’t let your children get in or out of your vehicle when stopped waiting at a school crossing.
•If you see a school crossing, use it.
The rules around school crossings aren’t just courtesy, they’re the law. To find out more, visit www.transport.vic.gov.au/schoolcrossings.
Pre-Prep Program
We are very excited to be offering our Pre-Prep Program again in Term 4! This program has proven to be successful in giving students the opportunity to experience school life and become confident in a school setting. This leads to a smoother transition to their Foundation year and commencement of their schooling journey. All Foundation students enrolled for 2026 have automatically been enrolled in the Pre-Prep Program, if you have not yet enrolled and would like your child to complete the Pre-Prep Program please contact the office on 58721374.
Let's make the last two weeks of this term great!
