Sustainable Garden at CSC

The garden is taking shape and we would like to acknowledge a couple of sponsors ASQ and Biomix for their generosity. All are welcome to help from 11 to 2 Wednesdays. Just need to sign in and show your working with children to office.

Any queries contact Kath by email at coff.kathryn.k@edumail.vic.gov.au

Big ‘Shout Out’ to our friends, Heather and Phillip, the newly appointed owners at Castlemaine Office Supply.

Apart from the great service, they have donated a $100 games voucher to the Etty St Program (FLO and VCAL) to spend on board games.

Better still, the wonderful Justin- Castlemaine’s very own ‘games guru’, has offered to come in and work with students on a volunteer basis teaching them some of the newer, lesser known games.

There is a whole range of learning when students engage with board games including; social interaction, developing strategy, reading, thinking, co-operation and learning a skill that is lifelong. Students will also be writing reviews and rating games.

FLO and VCAL are thrilled with this new partnership and keen to see how we can make the classroom more engaging, while developing key educational outcomes.
