Canteen Helpers Needed

Scotsburn are scheduled to assist Tracey in the canteen in the next few weeks. The table below indicates the dates that we require help. We already have a couple of helpers, but require 2 for each day. Please contact Shaun ASAP if you are able to assist.  

Pre Schooler Program

Wednesday saw another successful transition morning for our upcoming Preps in 2020. It was wonderful to see the students settled and enjoying the activities and company of the Scotsburn students. It was fantastic to also see our existing and new parents together in the old building enjoying a chat and morning tea. Transition will continue over the next two weeks from 9:30am to 11:00am. During this time, the kinder students will be introduced to our Specialist classes, PE and Art where we are sure they will continue to enjoy themselves immensely. 

Congratulations Henry

 

Last week, Henry received the Blue Light Disco Award during the assembly at the Buninyong Campus. Congratulations Henry!

Congratulations Jackson & Ryan

During the Term 3 holidays, Jackson and Ryan Lyons represented Victoria Country in the State Futsal Championships in Brisbane. This was a wonderful achievement by the twins. They played a number of games whilst away and were even fortunate to win the Grand Final. Everyone is very proud of their efforts. A big thanks to those that were able to assist the boys with sponsorships. Well done boys!

Horse Riding Competition

A number of keen horse riders from the Scotsburn Campus participated in a competition at the Smythesdale Pony Club last weekend. They took part in a variety of events and had a fabulous time.

Blast Cricket Competition

On Monday and Tuesday of this week, a number of Gr 3-6’s participated in the Blast Cricket Competition at Vic Park. They all had a great time.

Prep -Year 2 Sleepover

Thursday 24th October is the Scotsburn P-2 Sleepover. Students have received permission notes and information regarding what to bring earlier this week. It would be great if parents could drop off their P-2 kids at 5.30pm and help them put their bed together. For some students, the Friday at school might be a long day! If you have concerns, please contact Shaun or Ana to arrange a time to collect your child early.

New Sand Pit

Work has now been completed for our new sand pit. Following the great efforts of the students throughout the week, we now have all of the sand spread and ready for use. Flynn E was in charge of a small team of students (Lachie H, Lucas M, Jacob H and Jett H) who work tirelessly to get the job done. Well done boys!

Bike Education

The Gr 3-6 students will be participating in Bike Education in the coming weeks. The dates are Thursday the 31st Oct, 7th Nov & 14th Nov. Permission notes will be coming home this week. Student are welcome to bring in their bikes and leave them on campus for the duration of  Bike Education. For those without a bike, there will be some available to borrow for the lessons.

Bring Your Bike to School Week
