From the Principal

Dear families,

Grade 5/6 Camp – A Fantastic Experience!

Last week, our Grade 5/6 students headed off to Anglesea Coastal Forest Lodge for their annual school camp. It was a fantastic experience, filled with adventure, challenges, teamwork and plenty of memorable moments.

School camps are such an important part of the primary school experience, providing students with opportunities to develop independence, build resilience, strengthen friendships and challenge themselves outside the classroom.

A big thank you to our dedicated staff and our parent volunteers who attended and helped make the camp such a positive and memorable experience for our senior Willy Kids.

Grade 2 Camp – Off to Scienceworks!

Tonight, our Grade 2 students will embark on their own exciting camp experience at Scienceworks!

For many students, this will be an important milestone in developing their confidence and independence as they experience an overnight stay with their classmates.

I'm fortunate enough to be attending the camp myself and am really looking forward to sharing in the excitement with our Grade 2 Willy Kids. It promises to be a fantastic experience, filled with discovery, learning and plenty of fun!

District Lacrosse Tournament

Next week, our school lacrosse teams will head off to represent Williamstown Primary School at the District Lacrosse Tournament.

It's always wonderful to see our Willy Kids representing the school in interschool sporting competitions, demonstrating teamwork, determination and sportsmanship.

We wish all our participating students the very best and look forward to hearing how they go!

Grade 1 Dinner – Another Special Milestone

Next week will also see our Grade 1 students enjoy their much-anticipated Grade 1 Dinner. This is another wonderful part of our school's camp and outdoor education program, providing our younger Willy Kids with an opportunity to build confidence, develop independence and enjoy a special experience with their classmates and teachers. 

These experiences are an important stepping stone towards the overnight camps students will participate in as they progress through the school.

With our Grade 5/6 camps completed, Grade 2 heading off tonight, our Grade 3/4 camps commencing in a couple of weeks and Grade 1 preparing for their dinner next week, it's certainly an exciting time across the school!

A big thank you to our staff for the additional time, planning and commitment that goes into providing these valuable experiences for our students.

Warm regards,

Mat Montebello
