Principal’s Report

Winter Uniform 

Students will have transitioned into Winter uniform by the end of THIS week. New and second-hand uniforms are available from the clothing store for those families who need to purchase them. I thank the parents for their support in ensuring all students are wearing the correct school uniform and not wearing jewellery and/or items of clothing that are not part of the school uniform. 

 

Division Cross Country 

We have 63 students attending the Division Cross Country this Friday 16th May at Bendigo Racecourse. We wish all these students the best of luck and hope they enjoy the experience. 

 

Mother’s Day  

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful team of staff and dads for making the Mother’s Day Breakfast such a special event. Your efforts and presence helped create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We truly appreciate everything you do for our school community. A special thanks goes to Jacinta for her leadership on this event. We know that occasions like this don’t happen without someone taking the lead and putting in the hard work behind the scenes. 

 

Unit Mass - Grade 3 and 4 

Tomorrow unit masses commence for our students with the first unit being grades 3 & 4, at 9:15 am.  Keep an eye out on the newsletter for details on when your child’s mass will be because we LOVE parents and special friends to join us for these masses.   

 

Bendigo Winter Night Shelter 

Help Bring Warmth to Cold Nights – Volunteers Needed 

As the winter chill settles over Bendigo, the nights grow longer and colder—and for some in our community, that means facing the darkness without shelter, warmth, or comfort. 

The Bendigo Winter Night Shelter exists to change that. If you’ve ever wondered how, you can help someone in need—this is your moment. To volunteer or learn more, visit www.bwns.org.au
