Hello Everyone,

E-Scooters

We have recently had some students riding, and wanting to ride, an e-scooter to school. Unfortunately, e-scooters are not allowed to be ridden to school by students due to the age limit to legally ride them.

There are rules for legally riding e-scooters in Victoria.

Legal e-scooter use -

You can legally ride an e-scooter in Victoria if you:

ride on:

shared-use paths (not on footpaths), or

roads that have a speed limit up to 60km/h

are at least 16 years old
wear a helmet
do not travel more than 20km/h
do not use your mobile phone
do not carry a passenger (dinking).

Emergency Drill

On Tuesday, we practised our Shelter in Place drill. We evacuated the whole school into the gym.

Well done to students for walking calmly. We do need to practise walking a little more quickly and paying attention to where we are walking, to make it more efficient and safer.

We practise emergency drills to help staff and students to build familiarity with emergency response procedures. It also gives us opportunities to identify any areas that may need to be changed or refined, that evacuation locations and pathways are practical and workable in different emergency scenarios, and that safety will be maintained throughout the response procedure.

Pride and Integrity Raffle

This raffle, to recognize all of the students who are attending school on time, will continue this year. This is to acknowledge the students demonstrating Pride and Integrity by being ready to learn each day.

Every student who is at school, and in their classroom, before the bell (9am) will have their name added to the class attendance box. So, if they are present on time, every day of the week, they will have 5 entries into the raffle.

Last week’s class winners were:

FB – Jina, 1A – Rosa, 2C – Thahira, 3A – Tyler, 3C – Audrey, 4B – Dillan, 4C – Abigail, 5A – Naiomie, 5B – Tha Tha

The raffle winner was Tyler from 3A! Congratulations!

Tyler received 15 PACs for Pride & Integrity
