Highlight

Selamat Siang,

Spring is almost in the air and Week Six has absolutely flown by! We have had an action packed week full of Book Week activities, Hoop Time and of course Tournament of the Minds! On Saturday, It was very impressive to see so many of our students attend and compete in the Tournament of the Minds competition held at Deakin University. They demonstrated a great deal of independence, teamwork, perseverance, and a love of learning over the term to prepare for the competition. In addition, Thursday saw many students head to the Dandenong Basketball Stadium, where they took part in the Hooptime basketball day. It was great to see so many students representing our school and demonstrating all of our school values! Lastly, on Friday we had the school Book Week parade and activities, it was unreal to see that so much effort had gone into many of the outfits, and it was great to celebrate the impact that books have on us.

Over the week, we have also been busy learning about multiplication and division through our mathematics activities. In doing so, we have played several challenging games and undertaken open-ended problem-solving lessons! In Literacy, we have continued to be blown away by the high quality of the debate scripts that are being written. Please feel free to ask your child for more details. 

Hope you all have a great week ahead!
