With only two weeks to go we have some very exciting news to announce………………….

LOTE

Next year Ms Kat Hamilton will be joining our Language Other Than English (LOTE) team to deliver Japanese to all of our Year 1/2 students for their LOTE lessons. Our Year 3/4 students will also have the opportunity to learn Japanese for one-half the year along with our current language Indonesian for the other half of the year. Our Year 5/6 students and Year 7 & 8 students will continue to learn Indonesian in 2020. We look forward to sharing with the exciting learning our students will be participating in, stay tuned…

Performing Arts

Congratulations to our Performing Arts Team and Year 3/4 students and teachers on delivering another amazing concert last Wednesday 27th November. The talent, work and effort from all staff and students involved helped to create this awesome event, which continually shined through in each item on the night.

Musical Murmurs: All year 5-9 students were invited to meet with the musical staff on Wednesday 4th December in PA 1 to find out information regarding the 2020 Musical “Broadway Showstoppers”. If your child was unable to attend but is interested in auditioning they will need to see Ms Cachia or Ms Leach for an audition form before the end of term.

Science

Congratulations to our Science team and the Year 8 students for making the annual Science Fair a very successful afternoon. Several students received awards for their work:

Jishnu Shaju and Sarwin Gobinath 8A – Ice tray battery and biogas
Brodie Hamill 8F-Bacteria

Orchestra

Our PCC orchestra will be performing at the Point Cook Town Centre on Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th December from 11am – 12:30pm on the outdoor stage in front of Nandos. Please try to get down there to support our students; I am sure they would love to perform in front of a big crowd.

P.E – Swimming Carnival

All interested students will have the opportunity to participate in their preferred strokes over a 50 metre distance at the Werribee Outdoor Pool on February 6th 2020 8:45am – 2:45pm. Students will undertake a time trial in each of their chosen strokes for their age group. If your child is successful, they will be notified of their selection.

WITH SAFETY IN MIND, IT IS ESSENTIAL YOUR CHILD HAS UNDERTAKEN SWIMMING LESSONS AND CAN COMPETENTLY SWIM 50m UNASSISTED.

Please log on to Compass to complete and return with $15.00 to cover the cost of the event no later than Week 1, FRIDAY 1st of FEBRUARY. All students wishing to participate in the District Interschool Swim Carnival MUST participate in the trial day.
