Year 5/6 Team News
with Laura, Christina, Emil, Molly, Bianca I, Kayleen, Steven & Carolyn
Hello Year 5/6 families,
Some updates about upcoming events…
Health Education
We have had our first session of the Health Ed program. The next two sessions will occur on Tuesday, 26 November and Tuesday, 3 December. These sessions will run for around 1.5hours.
Sports Trials
In the week of the 18 November, we will be running Summer Interschool Sports trials for our current Year 5 students to place them into the sports for next year.
Williamstown High School Visit
As most of our Year Sixes are going to WHS, we have arranged a special visit on Thursday, 21 November. Students attending Williamstown High in 2025 will walk to the campus with Puhie, Christina and Molly where they will be taken on a guided tour and invited to ask questions.
JSC 2025 Elections
Ordinarily this process happens early in Term 1. This year we have made the decision to shift the process to Term 4 to ensure that we have our elected school leaders in place from the beginning of the school year.
On Wednesday, 20 November all current Years 4 and 5 students will meet to talk through the nomination and election process, and they will have until Friday, 29 November to sign up to nominate themselves for JSC (and School Captain for our current Year 5s). These sign-up sheets will be posted in the 5/6 Gallery.
In Week 9 (2-6 December), nominees will make a speech to their 2025 cohort and voting will take place.
If your child is interested in nominating for JSC but will be away for any of this period, please contact your child’s classroom teacher. We will be able to place their name on the nominations sign-up sheet. Should they be away for any part of Week 9, they must forward a short video to their teacher in place of a live speech to the cohort by Friday, 29 November. We will be unable to accommodate late submissions.
Warm regards,
The Grade 5/6 Team - Laura Bartholomeusz (5/6B), Christina Crosland (5/6C), Emil de Vries (5/6D), Bianca Italiano & Molly Hedditch (5/6I), Kayleen Dumic & Steven Puhar (5/6K) & Carolyn Watt (5/6M)
