Principal Report 

Hello Parents and Guardians,

At the end of last term, I wrote a piece in the newsletter where I shared my thoughts on ‘The Breakfast Club Cooking Classes’ for families.

The four-week program was an enormous success with the students and parents having the opportunity to cook/construct the following recipes:

Week 1 - Rice Paper Rolls

Week 2 - Vegetarian Stir Fry

Week 3 - Okonomiyaki 

Week 4 – Healthy Pizza

These hands on cooking session also covered kitchen hygiene, safety and healthy eating.

Alice (coordinator) and her team put together a wrap up flyer (see attachment 1) sharing the thoughts of those involved as well as some photos.

Schools are offered this program once a year. I’d strongly recommend that families participate next year when and if Oatlands receives an invitation in 2024.

A message was sent out in the last week of Term 2 informing everyone of our annual up-coming ‘Father’s Day Breakfast’ to be held on August 29th.

I am excited and pleased to announce that our guest speaker this year will be ‘Former AFL/Geelong Footballer – Billy Brownless’.

I am sure that he will have some interesting, informative, and humorous thoughts to share with the audience on the morning. (See attachment 2 for his bio).

A note will be sent through Compass in the next 2 weeks where dads and significant males in our student’s lives can book a spot for this event.

I hope that you will all be as keen as I am to meet Billy and hear him speak.

Regards

John Armao
