Principal's Report

Farewell to Robyn

Robyn Batrouney finishes up at our school today after 9 years working in the office.  Many of you will have had dealings with Robyn over and we say thanks for all of her efforts over that time.  We wish Robyn all the best with whatever comes her way in the future.

Traffic Safety at Scotsburn

For a number of years we have been campaigning for safety upgrades to the Midland Highway outside our Scotsburn Campus.  This morning Shaun and I met with representatives from VicRoads to further discuss options for improvement.  Fingers crossed that the options discussed are funded in the near future.

GRADE 3 CAMP

Good luck to our grade 3s who head off on camp this week.  The Queenscliff Camp is in a great setting and provides a perfect opportunity for our kids to have a taste of spending time away from family while learning some marine biology and engaging in other fun activities. Looks like we could be in for some wet weather, but camp organisers are used to that and will have contingency plans.

JAPAN TRIP

Excitement is starting to build and last week we had an information session for parents and students involved with next month’s trip to Japan.  As always, Mrs Sullivan was thoroughly organised and the session contained detailed information about the trip and what we can expect.  I’m very much looking forward to joining the tour this time.

PARENT SURVEYS

A final reminder that our Parent Surveys close on August 11th. Invitations to participate were sent via email and we greatly appreciate your time in providing us with some feedback. 

2020 SCHOOL START DATE

Around this time each year we know that some parents are looking ahead to plan holidays and would like to know school start dates.  We can confirm that the 2020 school start date for all year levels will be Thursday January 30. 

PREP ENROLMENTS FOR 2020

If you have a child going into prep for 2020, could you please get the enrolment form in as soon as possible.  To help with our organisation, we’d like any remaining enrolments submitted in the next couple of weeks.
