From the Principal

Spring is in the air. We have been blessed with some beautiful weather this week and from all reports the students have been bathing in sunshine during recess and lunch times. I have been away for the majority of the week. I was lucky enough to attend the EDU-TECH conference in the city. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear some wonderful speakers discuss how technology is playing a vital role in education. 

 

Next week our school embarks on our week long swimming program at Monbulk pool, please make sure your Operoo and medical information is up to date. It is important that students are prepared for their lessons and have all their belongings ready (and named). Please see below a timetable for lessons, parents are welcome to attend to watch. Due to child safety procedures, I ask parents to refrain from helping students during changing times, we will have more than enough staff to assist students. 

We are so excited for our school disco tonight, as per the SchoolStream on Monday, if your child is to be collected by another family, please email Declan as he will be the staff representative on site. 

 

Please see the Learning & Teaching tab for more information about our School Dress up day for Book Week. 

 

Just a reminder for families that the school will be closed tomo Friday, August 16th. The teaching staff have a professional learning day in Braybrook.
