Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth states that marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.
This year, students will line up on the basketball court ready for a minute silence at 11am to remember those who have fought and died in the line of duty.
Prep 2020 Transition
Our Prep 2020 students will visit for their 3rd transition day on Monday 11th November with a focus on Mathematics.
Other dates are the Parent Information Night on November 20th and Orientation Day on 16th December at 2.30pm.
2020 Classes
If parents have concerns, for social reasons, over classroom placements of their child with another peer, they are asked to send the request to Mr Millar in a hand-written letter or email to the Office, by no later than Thursday November 14th (including the reason). These requests will be kept confidential but there is no guarantee that all can be accommodated. Classroom placements are based upon student friendships and the needs of each individual. Teachers are yet to be given placements for 2020 and requests for teachers by parents will not be considered.
Community Conversation
Join us on Wednesday 13th 8.45-10am for our Community Conversation. Simon Fitzpatrick from CEM will discuss results from the CEMSIS Survey with those in attendance. Students from Years 4-6, all staff and parents were invited to participate in the survey. Feedback on the survey will help the staff to complete the Annual Action Plan for 2020.

Students will then stay onsite overnight and return to school ready for 3:25pm pick up on the 15th November.
Galilee Parents Association AGM
Galilee Parents Association AGM - Tuesday 19 November 2019 - 7:30pm.
Put the date in your diaries for the AGM where we will recap the successes and learnings from 2019 and make plans for moving forward in 2020.
At the AGM this year the elected positions of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer will all be up for nomination and election. These positions are renewed every 2-3 years to ensure we have a dynamic and inclusive committee. Annalise, Jess, Emma and Maureen have thoroughly enjoyed these positions for the last 2-3 years but will not be renominating for them. They will ensure people taking on these roles are well supported as they transition into these roles in 2020 and will remain on as general members into the future. These main roles are a 2-3 year position. If anyone is interested in these positions or know of someone who might be, please let us or Simon Millar know. Please read the role descriptions attached.
Any questions please email the address below or see a committee member.
