Principal's Report

Dear families,

FATHER'S DAY BREAKFAST

It was wonderful to see so many dads, grandads and special people attend our Father's Day Breakfast. Egg and Bacon rolls were on the menu.

ASHEfest

Yesterday Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students attended this event. The event brings together over 1,500 Indigenous and non-Indigenous students to build pride, cultural awareness, and reconciliation. It is run by the Academy of Sport, Health and Education (ASHE) as part of the University of Melbourne and is hosted at the Rumbalara Football Netball Club. The students participated in traditional Indigenous games, storytelling with elders, face painting, arts and crafts, dancing, and science experiments.

END TERM ASSEMBLY

Our final assembly for the term will be held next Friday 18th September at 1:30pm.

LIVESCHOOL 

Currently we are trialling LiveSchool which is a school wide app to reward positive student behaviour and build a supportive school culture. Teachers award LiveSchool points ( our tokens) to recognise hard work and positive behaviour reflecting our school values. Not only do students receive tokens or points that go into their online piggy bank but they receive a point for their house. 

Live House tallies are displayed in the CLS. At the end of a predetermined time the winning house will be able to select a reward. 

Balance: The app tracks total points earned alongside a "bank account" balance showing points currently available to spend.

Spending: Students use their points to buy school-approved rewards, such as custom privileges, school store items, or special events.

Feedback: Staff can attach specific comments to points, allowing you to see exactly why your child was praised. 

Once the trial period is over, an invitation will be sent to families so that they can access the app and see the positive points their child/ren has attained and what they were awarded for. 

Have a lovely weekend,

Regards

Filippa and Heather
