Chinese Visitors Report

I would like to thank our host families for the care they showed our visiting students from China throughout their visit.  There were some sad goodbyes at the airport on Sunday morning but our six students are now looking forward to catching up with their friends when they head over to China in September.  We held a final assembly last Friday and presented our guests with a small gift as a memory of their trip to Mildura/Australia which was well received. Two Chinese students produced a beautiful piece of artwork depicting their national flower, which they presented to our school.  It was lovely to hear from Xander and Blake who spoke to the group about the connection they had made throughout the week and some of the highlights of their Mildura experience.  I would like to thank and acknowledge the work Mr S. Johnson put into hosting our guests as well as preparing for our upcoming visit to China.

Primary Assembly Report

Our primary section held their Student of the Month Assembly yesterday.  It was fantastic to see our two student leaders, Will Martin and Zhoe Willison, hosting the assembly whilst the remaining students were respectfully listening and joining in throughout the program.  Student voice and leadership is something we are striving to increase across the College and this was a great example of students taking a lead role. Congratulations to all of the monthly award winners in the primary area. Our secondary student of the month awards will be held throughout the Learning Centres over the coming weeks.

Important Reminder – Kiss & Go Zone

With our growing student numbers comes an increase in traffic during 'pick up' and 'drop off' times, so it is even more important that families observe the signs at our 'Kiss and Go' zone at the front of the school.  Please ensure you don’t leave your vehicle in these areas as the traffic becomes congested and it is extremely frustrating for others if they are unable to pause in these areas to drop their children off.  Thanks for your co-operation with this issue.
