News of the Week
Dear Parents and Friends,
Welcome to this week's news! This is the last newsletter from the Environment group. So far there's been many exciting activities and events and we would like to inform you about everything. We are having our school concert in Week 9 on September 18th and we can't wait!
Year 4 Sovereign Hill Camp
What was your favourite part of camp and why?
Blake I liked mine tours because we got to see the biggest nugget and how it was found and the sites.
Emily: I liked going shopping for lollies because we got to see all the olden day supplies and the treats we got to have.
Oscar: I liked the panning because it was fun and hard to find the gold.
Isla: I liked the gold mine because we got to go underground and see how the miners found gold in the mines.
School of Rock
The concert is next week and we are so excited.
Tickets are on sale via the CDFpay App. Limit 5 per family. Adults $20.00 Children 5-18 years $10.00. Toddlers free but will have to sit on a parents knee. In preparation for our whole school rehearsal on Monday 15 September (at St Brigid's), we ask that all students bring in their costumes by tomorrow. Students are to wear their sports uniform on this day.

Little Scientists STEM EXPO
During our STEM lessons our Year 5/6 students have been working on a project for a STEM Expo being held at St Joseph's Crib Point. Mrs Patterson had to choose only 2 groups to attend the EXPO and it was a diffuclt decsion as she said they all worked so hard on their designs.
What is the Stem Expo? A STEM competition to help make a difference in the world
Where and when is it? St Joseph's Crib Point Victoria on Tuesday 16 September
What did you design?
Asher and Eva: We are designing an ear piece to help elderly people not forget stuff called the ‘Forget No More’.
Thalia and Gemma: We are making a teddy bear to help anxiety and depression called ‘ConnecTED'
AFLW visit
We were lucky enough to have members from the St Kilda AFLW team come to our school. They answered any questions we had, we learnt lots of new things. They also kicked the footy with us and help us improve on our kicking skills. It was so fun :).
With thanks
