From the Principal

Dear families,

It was great to see so many happy faces back at school for term 4. It has been fantastic to see everyone getting back into the routines of school. I hope you all had a restful break.

Please remember to return the dental van permission form if you are interested in taking advantage of this service. 

Foundation 2024 Transition Days 

All of our children look forward to these days with great expectation! A letter will be sent out next week with further details on the Foundation transition days with the first taking place on Wednesday 15th November. An information session will be held in the library on this morning to offer important information and get to know some of our existing families. We're very excited!

Traffic Safety

As you would all be aware, traffic congestion around the school at the beginning and end of the school day presents many challenges. I would like to remind everyone that we work in partnership with the Castlemaine police to ensure that drivers are following road rules around our school during these peak congestion times. Please remember to drive at the 40km per hour limit, do not block traffic flow by double parking, and pedestrians should cross the road away from the designated pick-up zone. The police have notified us that they will be regularly observing driver behaviour before and after school and issuing fines to drivers who break the law. Let’s all work together to ensure the safety of all children in our school community.

SunSmart

Although the weather is still a bit up and down, the UV levels are rising. Now that we are in term 4 we expect all students to wear their hats when outside. We also encourage parents to ensure that children are wearing sunscreen when appropriate. 

Thanks for a terrific start to term 4. It is a long one and we want to continue the strong learning and academic focus but also strengthen and develop the social aspect of the students. 

Have a great weekend.

John
