PRINCIPAL UPDATE 

Over the past few weeks, we have sent confirmation of enrolment to our new Prep students for 2025 which is very exciting.

We will welcome these students and their families later in Term 4 to our community. Whilst we understand this is very early, if you are aware of plans for 2025 that result in ceasing enrolment here at Chilwell, we would appreciate receiving this information when it comes to light.  This assists us with planning for 2025.

Congratulations to all students that participated in the District Athletics and in addition to this, well done to the 27 students who were successful in progressing to the Division Athletics coming up on 10th September. 

We have a busy few weeks ahead of us and ask that you please ensure you are checking calendars for dates.

Curriculum Day next Friday 30th August – no students at school.  Teaching staff will be undertaking professional learning around the new mathematics curriculum and Educational Support staff will be attending Armstrong Creek School and shadowing staff in learning spaces for the environment.

The following Friday, 6th September is the infamous COLOUR RUN!!!!!  We would love students to be able to bring a white tee etc. on the day for the run.  We are going to undertake a demonstration at 3:20pm this Friday for students to be able to visualise what this event will look like.  As mentioned at Assembly last Friday, if the colour powder isn’t for you or you have allergies/asthma or feel a bit overwhelmed by the Colour Run there will be an option to participate in a ‘sensory run’ where you will still run around the oval but instead of colour/water it will be bubbles.

As an FYI for families wanting to attend, the draft schedule is:-

Bubble fun run 1:30 - 2:00

Prep - 2: 2:00 - 2:25

Grade 3/4: 2:30 - 2:55

Grade 5/6: 2:55 - 3:25

This will be confirmed in the week of the event.

In addition to this we have multiple excursions and incursions along with the main event…. The Concert on Wednesday 18th September at Geelong Arena. Tickets go on sale 10am Friday 23rd August.  Keep an eye on Compass on Friday morning for the booking link!

Have a great week all.

Kind regards,
