SC3 Starting at Buninyong Campus Friday
The students in SC3 will start the day at the Buninyong Campus this Friday. They will meet in the courtyard and then enjoy a Sun Smart presentation with students from the Buninyong Campus. They will then return to the Scotsburn Campus after recess.
Hot Shots Tennis
On Monday 2nd December, a number of students will be participating in a Hot Shots competition at the Buninyong tennis courts. All students participating will start and finish the day at the Buninyong campus. Permission notes will be coming home very soon.
Collaborative Planning Days
The Buninyong Campus Gr 3 students will be joining us up at Scotsburn on Wednesday 4th December. The Scotsburn students will be heading to the Buninyong campus and joining the grade 3's on Thursday 12th December. This is a great opportunity for students to jump out of their comfort zone and engage in activities with new students from across both campuses. As always, Scotsburn students will be buddied up with some friends when down at the Buninyong Campus. Permission notes will be coming home very soon.
Change of Date
Our Celebration Day has been re-scheduled for Thursday 19th December. The plan (weather permitting) is for the students to spend a couple of hours at the Buninyong Swimming Pool. Permission notes and information will be coming home soon.
Campus Kris Kringle
Students have received a note inviting them to participate in their class KK. If you would like your child to participate, notes must be returned by Friday 29th November.
Christmas Hamper Raffle
With our Christmas break up fast approaching Tuesday 17th December, a basket has been placed in each classroom for donations for our annual Christmas Hamper Raffles. It would be great if you could pop something into the basket in the coming weeks.
Christmas Watering Roster
If you are able to help out with the watering over the Christmas break, please contact Naomi Moore on naomimoore1973@yahoo.com
Working Bee
A big shout out to all of our wonderful parents. We will be having our final working bee for the year on Friday 13th December at 2.30pm-4.30pm. It will be a great chance for us to get the school grounds looking great in readiness for our end of year break up. The main thing to do will be tidying up long grass. If you have a whipper snipper, it would be great if you could bring it along.
Looking After Our Animals
If you would like to take care of our chooks over the Christmas break, please drop in and see Shaun ASAP. Special thanks to Lara and her family who are taking Pip the lizard for the holidays.
Canteen Helpers
Special thanks to the volunteers for offering their support over the past 3 weeks. It is greatly appreciated.
Sustainable Houses
On Monday, Andrea Mason, a local Scotsburn resident, visited our assembly to listen to the students present their sustainable houses they designed and built as part of Friday’s Family Group rotations. Andrea’s business ‘Finding North’ promotes sustainable living by providing guidance around designing homes and natural backyards. Andrea also works within our community with many land care groups and renewable energy organisations. Thanks Andrea.
Icy Poles
Axel will again be selling icy poles for $1 on Thursdays.

Term 4 - Friday Rotations
Our next rotation for Term 4 will be on the 29th November. Our groups will be doing the following:
Lunch Order Roster
Lunch orders need to be collected from the Buninyong campus at 12.40 pm. Please ensure you organise a swap if necessary so that the students don’t go hungry!
School Bus Travel for 2020
Families who are eligible and wish to use one of the three country bus services next year are required to complete and return a new application form for their child/children and return it to the office by the end of Term 4.
Likewise, if your child/children attend our Scotsburn campus and would like to use our between campus service, a new application form is also required.
If your child/children are already bus travellers, we will be sending a form home with the eldest child in the family in the next few weeks. For new travellers, please call into the office to see Mel for an application form and further details.
Please note: All current bus rolls will be cleared at the end of Term 4 and only children for which we have new application forms for will be permitted to travel.
Thank you for your understanding.
