COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Congratulations to Jett K (4DS), Reed G (4SM), Thomas R (4SM), Bailey K (4SM), and their Greenhills Beavers teammates on winning the U12 Boys B3 Basketball Grand Final! They triumphed over the previously undefeated St Mary’s Sharks. A special shoutout to the team’s coach, Hudson, a past Greenhills PS student!

Well done, boys! 💪🏼

If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.

SCHOOL SAVING BONUS

School Saving Bonus code email issue

The distribution of School Saving Bonus emails to parents and carers, to provide a unique code to use for the $400 credit, started on Tuesday 26 November 2024.

Due to restrictions imposed by Microsoft, parents and carers with email accounts provided by a Microsoft exchange server, or who use an Outlook or Hotmail account, have likely experienced delays in receiving their code email.

We have worked directly with Microsoft to resolve this issue and have re-sent the code to impacted email addresses.

Please encourage parents and carers who have not received their code email to re-check their email accounts, including junk or spam folders.

Absence days will be reported on Student Reports this Semester.

We ask that you enter future full day absences on the day or leading up to the day, otherwise if you receive an email with an unexplained absence, you can click the link in the email to explain.

If you have any discrepancies please contact the office to rectify. Remember that long term absences need to be put in writing to james.penson@education.vic.gov.au 

YEAR 6 FAMILIES

As students leave Greenhills (either in Year 6 or earlier) their Compass profile is no longer visible to you.  Please ensure that Reports are either printed or saved for your future reference.
