FINALIST- Good Luck Batesford!
The Ultimate School Excursion
And the winner is------ yes you guessed it Rollins- Batesford!!!!
Last week Bay 93.9 were announced the winners of this Ultimate Excursion to Live Wire Park in Lorne. Lachie Wright was interviewed on radio and now thinks he has a future as a DJ!
Congratulations to the Batesford teachers and students who made an excellent video and thank you to all the students and Parents at both campuses who spent many hours voting.
School Upgrade - Wow!!
It has been a very long time coming but we have finally managed to secure a school upgrade with major capital works happening in the very near future. Exact details are not yet known to us but we have been granted 3.46 million- yes you read it correctly!!
I received a letter from The Hon James Merlino( Minister for Education) late last week stating he was delighted to confirm that the Victorian Government has allocated $3.460 million to fund a new building program at Rollins PS. We will meet with government representatives in the next few weeks to discuss plans.
I would like to sincerely thank everyone in our community who have worked so hard to secure this grant for our school- well done Team Rollins!
We are extremely excited about this announcement which will allow our students, staff and parents the opportunity to operate in a new and motivating environment. More details will be distributed to our community as they become available.
Senior School Sports
Congratulations to all students who braved the cold and participated in the Senior School Athletics. It was a great day despite the chill factor! A huge thank you to all the teachers and parents who volunteered to assist on the day. Without parent support we would be unable to conduct these extra curricular activities. Congratulations to Green House on their victory in the School House competition.
Many thanks to Hayley Womersley who spent a myriad of hours planning to ensure the success of this day.
Students Leaving An Excursion Early
A reminder to everyone about the new system when students are on excursions or at events. One teacher will be the nominated person (may or may not be your child’s classroom teacher) to attend to early leavers or late arrivals. Parents are asked to report to that person only and sign their child in or out. On return to school, this information will be recorded on COMPASS.
A parent who signs their child out on COMPASS must still report to the nominated person for recording purposes. This process will ensure the safety of all our students as we will have accurate data on the whereabouts of every student in real time.
Reminder To Parents
The first day of Term 3 (Monday 15th July) is a staff professional learning day. Staff will be undertaking professional learning in the area of Literacy. Kandice Bell (Senior Improvement Educational Leader- Barwon Region)will be working with staff to improve our understanding of data and elaborating on strategies to further improve literacy at Rollins. We hope selecting this day may assist some parents who wish to extend their holidays, return from holidays when the roads are less congested or align with a parent’s RDO. Students first day back will be Tuesday 16th July.
Assembly
ASSEMBLY-3/4(Sharni Oliver’s Class and the other half of Daniel’s Grade) performing this week. If your child is in Daniels’s grade please ask them if they are part of the performance this week.
This week is the last assembly for Term 2 as on the last day(Friday 28th June) students finish school at 2.30pm. The first assembly for Term 3 will be on Friday 19th July. There will be one more newsletter which will hit the press on Thursday 27th June.
