Attendance Rewards

Today the 71 students with 100% attendance for the month of May, enjoyed a hot morning snack (party pies & nuggets). While the ladder winners, 1/2Carroll and 3/4Fawcett enjoyed their hot lunch, popcorn and movie last Friday. Congratulations on being the monthly winners!

Student reports 

We will be providing student achievement reports for Semester 1 this year as usual.

The reports will be available via XUNO on the 19th June.

The reports will continue to provide important details about student learning attainment, but full descriptive comments will not be included as a result of industrial action taken earlier this term by the Australian Education Union.

Interviews

To compensate for no comments we have scheduled 2 parent-teacher-student interview opportunities to share your childs progress-

Monday 22nd June 3:30-5:30pm 

Friday 26th June 8:30-12:30pm.

Victorian Government Schools Principal Conference

At the end of May Mrs Mangan and myself, attended the Victorian Government Schools Principal Conference. The conference theme was ‘Leading Together for Excellence and Equity’. We had the opportunity to network with other principals, hear from renowned educators and leading practitioners, to discover new ways to of thinking about leadership in excellence schools, and to learn and reflect from one another.  

Cold weather 

Please ensure your child is appropriately dressed for the colder weather. Students spend time outside at recess and lunch each day and during Phys Ed and sport session, which means additional layers of clothing may be needed to keep warm. Thank you to those families who ensure outer layers comply with our uniform colours and policy. We currently have no spares.

School Beanies

As the weather starts to  change and the mornings become cooler, now might be the perfect time to buy your child a school beanie if they don't already own one. These are available at the school office for $12. (Please note coloured beanies are not part of our school uniform - dark blue or big freeze beanies are acceptable)

School Policies

Our school policies play an important role in ensuring a safe, supportive, and well-organised learning environment for all students. They provide clear guidelines for students, staff, and families, helping us work together to support positive learning outcomes and wellbeing.

As part of our ongoing review process, a number of school policies have recently been updated to reflect current requirements, best practice, and the needs of our school community. We encourage all families to take the time to familiarise themselves with these policies which are all available on our school website. The below policies been recently updated -

• Volunteers

• Complaints
• Bullying & Prevention 
• Child Safety & Wellbeing
• Student wellbeing & engagement
• Action Plan- Aboriginal Learning, Wellbeing and Safety.
• Child Abuse (including grooming)- identification and Response policy
