Police Visit for Science

A big thank you to our science teacher Ms Christoe for organising police officers Mel and Min to visit the school with their police van. The students had a great day learning about local laws, personal safety and the role of the police officer. This was a great chance for students to see some of the equipment used by police officers.

Year 3 Camp

A huge thank you to our Year 3 staff and LSO’s for the countless hours spent planning and preparing, the overnight camp at Thomas Carr (Good Samaritan Campus at Coragulac). Thanks also to Jane Daffy and the parents who assisted on camp, we are very grateful to you all. 

The camp was a great success with children actively involved in many activities including visiting the Twelve Apostles, Port Campbell, Red Rock and Gellibrand.

E-Scooters

Colac Police have contacted the school about parents/guardians doing their research before purchasing e-scooters for their children. One of the most important rules of the e-scooter is that riders MUST be 16 years or older to legally ride an E-scooter on a Victorian road. Attached to the newsletter is some very important documents for parent/guardians to read about the e-scooter.

RACV Safety Squad

On Friday 28th November the RACV Safety Squad will be visiting Sacred Heart students in Years 3 and 4. The RACV Safety Squad is a program for Victorian primary school students that provides interactive sessions on road and home safety, including pedestrian, passenger, and bike safety, as well as how to identify home hazards. We look forward to welcoming these educators to our school.
